I can’t believe everything happening in my city right now. It’s scary, frightening, and terrifying all at once. But the biggest takeaway as I watched the news, read through Facebook updates, and my twitter feed is that as much fear as an event like this brings it also brings a huge sense of community, brotherContinue reading “Boston – You’re My Home”

Asparagus Couscous
As always, we are looking for seasonable side dishes to serve for dinner. Since our CSA doesn’t start for a couple more months, we thought for spring we’d eat a lot of asparagus and peas. Well, adapted from this Martha Stewart recipe I saw on Pinterest, we made this very simple (and quick!) Asparagus Couscous. We used chicken stockContinue reading “Asparagus Couscous”
Croissant-Making Class Date Night!
Last week, my husband and I went on a little mid-week date. Instead of our usual date of trying a new restaurant or catching a movie…we went to a class at our local Community Education program on how to make croissants! Who doesn’t love a croissant – flaky, buttery…delicious. We especially fell hard for thisContinue reading “Croissant-Making Class Date Night!”
Couple Things…
Hope your week was good! As you may have noticed my site was down for a few days, so frustrating. I had a little trouble with my website hosting service but we’re all good now. We got to spend so much time outside this week which was great. Our Z is just big enough nowContinue reading “Couple Things…”

It was so hard trying to figure out what toContinue reading “Elizabeth Street – Street Style”
Couple Things…
I just have a few photos to share this week and they’re mostly from Easter Sunday. We had a trying few days with a grumpy/tired/teething/whining girl and days like that don’t seem to beget many photos. She seems to have gotten out of her funk though just in time for the weekend! I have someContinue reading “Couple Things…”
Quick DIY Flower Pin
I am a firm believer that accessories can make an outfit. When you want to look particularly “put together” you always add a special accessory or two, right? Well, we were taking some family photos over the weekend and our little Z’s outfit was missing something. I quickly realized she needed a special accessory toContinue reading “Quick DIY Flower Pin”
Fashion Florals Update
Did you notice at Monday’s White House Easter Egg Roll our fashionable First Lady was wearing the floral and striped top from J. Crew I included in last week’s floral round-up? She is a total J. Crew-lover like I am! I love that she wore it with white pants – looks great. *photo from stylist.com
What to Wear – Floral Patterns
I mentioned last week that I like the spring trend of floral patterns but to be careful because all those flowers could easily become too much. Don’t you agree? You should also be mindful of what wardrobe piece you are buying in a floral pattern. You want to look for modern cuts when you’re shoppingContinue reading “What to Wear – Floral Patterns”
