We went to Grafton Street Pub one night and had some amazing apps – charcuterie and arancini. We also went blueberry picking and got 2 pints of fresh blueberries (look at the tiny hand picking blueberries!). Z and I decided to get somewhat dressed up on Tuesday in black and white for no reason atContinue reading “Couple Things…”

What to Wear – to the Beach
It’s too hot here so we’re heading to the beach! I sound so spontaneous, don’t I? It just so happens that we (in the Boston area) are in the middle of a heat wave and all I can think about is diving into a cold body of water so we are in fact lucky weContinue reading “What to Wear – to the Beach”
Assembled at Assembly Row
I was excited to be asked to pay a visit to the new Assembled Handmade Arts Market at Assembly Row in Somerville, we’ve been meaning to stop by and check it out. Every summer Saturday from 11 -4pm over 80 artists and a handful of food trucks assemble – we went this past weekend andContinue reading “Assembled at Assembly Row”
Grilled Peach Salsa
I couldn’t do a post about salsa without mentioning one of the best Seinfeld quotes of all time. Agree? On to the salsa…I was soooo sick of eating plain old grilled pork chops so I was perusing the web for some sort of topping. We’ve had BBQ, various chutneys, even this delicious apple topping thatContinue reading “Grilled Peach Salsa”
I Bought a Romper
I have been debating rompers for…I don’t know…a year maybe? The thought of wearing one is appealing – they’re so cute, perfectly coordinated, and you can dress them up or down. Problem is, they seem to be made for the very tall and the very thin – neither of which I am. Hmph. So, IContinue reading “I Bought a Romper”
Couple Things…
On Monday, we got the postcard we mailed Z from London (on June 24th, um exactly 2 weeks later!) and she is obsessed with it. I tried and hated egg salad for the firs time. I don’t like yolks or mayo so I don’t know why I thought I’d like it. More backyard blooms! IContinue reading “Couple Things…”
Banh Mi
We’ve all seen the food trucks around town selling Bahn Mi – Vietnamese-style sandwiches and they…are…yummy! We got home from London and were so food-inspired that we decided to tackle making our own version of a Bahn Mi. And let me tell you…it was easier than we thought…and they came out GREAT! According to Wikipedia,Continue reading “Banh Mi”
…and Then We Went to Scotland!
Our trip to the UK didn’t just include taking in the sites and tastes of cheery ‘ol London…we also made a trip up to Scotland at the end of the week. We have some friends living in Glasgow right now so we figured it was the perfect time for us to see this beautiful country.Continue reading “…and Then We Went to Scotland!”
DIY Jean Shorts
I tend to buy all of my Z’s clothes at the end of the season when they’re on clearance for the following season – like right now I’m shopping size 2T for next summer because everything is on super sale. That said, I found that I didn’t have many coordinating shorts for the random assortmentContinue reading “DIY Jean Shorts”
London Recap, part II – Dining Guide
So enough about the sites of London – let’s talk about the FOOD! I often hear from people that, especially when traveling internationally, they tend to frequent places that are familiar (US chains), end up being disappointed (crappy hotel restaurant), or end up spending way too much (concierge recommendation). We always make the effort toContinue reading “London Recap, part II – Dining Guide”
