April 26, 2017 Spring Picnic Ideas Featuring Willow Tree Farm Chicken Salad

Spring is finally here!! I have already committed to storing away my winter clothes, so no doubt it will snow in May! So it means dining on patios, open toed shoes, maxi dresses and my favorite, picnics! Not a fan of the outdoors? You could easily do this on a porch (skip the bugs) or […]

April 7, 2017 Cooking with Manischewitz Kids

With kids (ok, well, with my kid) it’s all about the shape. When we go out to a meal, I have to ask what shape the noodles are in for the macaroni and cheese. What can I say, my son likes elbows not penne. So with Passover around the corner, we decided to take these […]

April 4, 2017 Easter Baskets: Something for Everyone

Easter is just over a week away and I wanted to give you some ideas for the perfect Easter baskets! You know, something a little different, not your average Reese’s and Cadbury baskets (although, Cadbury mini eggs are my weakness!). All of these items (with an exception of a few things) are from small (mostly […]

March 13, 2017 Pi Day: Where to Get ALL.THE.PIE

I barely passed geometry in grade school, but I can certainly get behind Pi Day. Each year, Pi Day is on 3/14 – get it? So I did some research to tell you where you can buy all the best pies to celebrate the day. I mean, we all have to do our part right? […]

February 18, 2017 Chocolate Fest at Wilson Farm

This past weekend I braved the snowmageddon weather to head over to Wilson Farm to check out their Chocolate Fest. That’s right, will travel for chocolate. There were a bunch of brands sampling on Saturday, including some goodies from Wilson Farm’s own kitchen (oh but that chocolate mousse!). Don’t worry mom, I glanced at the […]

February 14, 2017 Maca

This year I want to focus some posts on women run companies. One #ladyboss who is killing it is Malden native, Tamy, owner of Maca. Not only does she make these labor intensive macarons, but she also has a 9-5 job! By day she is a project manager at a financial company and then she makes […]

February 13, 2017 Refreshing My Home with Fresh Wave

  The new year for me was like a reboot, I wanted to get my home in order. We moved in this past summer and I have yet to feel settled. I took some time after the holidays to organize, purge and clean. I met the team from Fresh Wave at The Biggest Baby Shower […]

February 10, 2017 Love at First Bite

If you’re going with heart shaped boxes of chocolates for Valentine’s Day this year, you certainly can’t go wrong with one from Phillips. They are Boston’s oldest chocolatiers, founded in 1925, and every chocolate is handcrafted. Two choices I personally love are the sea salt caramel assortment and the turtle assortment. I’m pretty fussy about […]

February 9, 2017 Modern Map Art

I love maps. When Jennifer reached out to me about her new company, Modern Map Art, I jumped at the chance to work with her. As you may know, we recently moved (check out the dining room transformation here) and I’ve been busy trying to decorate our new space. For some reason, the master bedroom […]
