on permanence, and pretty travel photos

Monday, May 21st, 2012

I believe in surrounding myself in travel even when I’m home. I started this post with one simple intention: to show you how pretty the walls of our new home are getting with travel photos encased in cheap, but of course lovely, frames from the Christmas Tree Shop. I was going to refer back to [...]

taste of the nation boston celebrates marathon monday with 26.2 percent off tickets!

Saturday, April 14th, 2012

Yes, I’m being incredibly in-your-face promotional about next week’s  Taste of the Nation Boston event, but you know that I wouldn’t flood my blog with things that I couldn’t care less about. In fact, this is something that I care a lot about. On April 19th, Taste of the Nation Boston will raise the critical funds necessary to [...]

if there were only a year

Monday, February 27th, 2012

A few weeks ago I was asked to answer a few questions about how I’d spend my time should the end of the world be just around the corner, as some falsely interpret the Mayan Calendar. No, the world won’t end this December, but I can’t deny that it’s a notion that will always make [...]

you speak the truth willy wonka

Friday, February 3rd, 2012

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, [...]

winter and a giveaway winner

Wednesday, January 25th, 2012

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 [...]

commit to travel

Thursday, December 29th, 2011

 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. Yes, as we continue [...]

news and a giveaway winner

Wednesday, December 14th, 2011

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 [...]
