I’m one of those lunatics that grabs her iPhone from her dresser first thing in the morning and whilst still lying in bed, checks her email, Twitter, Facebook, you name it. This little find had me crying with laughter for some reason…. Why yes, Willy Wonka, I do go on many adventures. In fact, [...]

It’s that time of year when I wake up and leave my house for work in the dark and by the time I return, it’s even darker. The only bright side is I get to see the sun rise on the train each morning. Winter in New England can be dreary, even when you come across [...]
Mike and I experienced some significant milestones over the last year and a half. We got married and then we bought a house. While we’re making decisions that tend to more physically ground one to a single place, to me that just means we’ll have to be even more disciplined about keeping travel at the top of the list.

I have news. Mike and I bought a house. We spent last weekend painting, cleaning and lugging boxes – with the help of family and friends – hence my lack of activity here. We’re not quite settled, but we’ve made a good effort. We got a Christmas Tree, which is something that I’ve been dying [...]

And they had a great idea for catching up that encouraged us to get adventurous, locally. The Blue Hills Reservation stretches through the towns of Quincy, Dedham, Milton and Randolph, MA just [...]

Things like guidebooks, coasters, plane tickets and post cards live in my carry ons for months, years even, after each and every one of my trips. When I return home though, I almost always let them go to waste. I’m sentimental until my urge [...]
The leaves have started to change, but not quite everywhere. Even so, there’s something in the air that lets you know it isn’t summer anymore. It’s crisp, it’s cool and when the sun filters through the trees and splashes into the water or makes shadows on the street, it really makes me feel lucky to [...]
One year ago on Monday, September 5th, Mike and I celebrated the one year anniversary of our marriage. This post is a little late, but about this time last year we were on our honeymoon, hopping between Spain, Gibraltar and Tunisia, so I figure that counts for something. I can’t believe how quickly time has [...]
