I’m not really a muffin person. And since we are disclosing things, I’m also not really a cupcake person. That being said, I’m not going to turn down a cupcake really. They are pretty great – but not as good as strawberry shortcake or a piece of pie or cheesecake. Muffins feel like a convenience…
pic courtesy of the bride from Instagram One of my favorite things in the world is sending mail. One of my other favorite things is getting mail. If the postal service ever shuts down, I’ll be a sad girl. I believe people think sending mail is hard but it really isn’t. It can be as…
Oh Maine. Every Labor Day visit to Maine is different… and perhaps that’s why it is so amazing. One year it’s about boating and swimming. The next year it’s Monhegan Island. This year? I’m not quite sure how to to wrap it up with a bow. We had lots of lady time around the house…
I have always loved caesar salad. I think I even like bad caesar salad. It’s just so creamy and sinful but yet there is lettuce… so it’s this fake feeling of healthy decision making. I wouldn’t say that I’m one to make really healthy eating decisions but I’ll never forget getting a peeksy at the…
Birthday dinners are rather important. I’m not saying they need to be fancy – but there needs to be thought behind it. I’d be perfectly happy with a pizza for my dinner because then it’d be about the atmosphere or getting to binge watch my favorite shows on Netflix while we ate. But, one of…
Cooking in the summer is not for the faint of heart. Cooking in the threat of summer is almost worse. See, technically we are on the tail end of summer… it could be hot one day or not at all. But since the threat is still alive, I still need to think about whether it…
Guys, there was this time in Italy that I wanted pizza but instead got gnocchi. The gnocchi was served in this knock your socks off tomato sauce that was so simple yet so flavorful. I remember when it was brought to the table, I was like…. wait, this is it? But it was phenomenal. I’m…
I’m always a big fan of trying to do things myself once or twice – or at least attempting it. For this reason, I have a pile of clothes in my closet that I refuse to throw out / donate because I’m moderately convinced I can hem / alter them myself. I can nearly guarantee…
I guess the upside to the end of the long weekend is that today is Tuesday … and not Monday. I spent much of the time in Maine having lady talks and roaming the rocky coast taking pictures with my friend Sarah. She just got a new camera and so it was amazing to have…
10 points to Maine for scoring a great slogan. I do love Maine and I do love vacation. I’m headed out today for a few days in Maine and realizing that this is my 4th Labor Day that I’ve spent in this particular little heaven. It’s hard to believe at times. I’m not sure what…
