Guyssss it’s Valentine’s Day on Sunday. For some folks that means cozying up with BAE and a bottle of wine, while for others it’s downing shots at the bar to wash away your sorrows or celebrate your singledom. This year Valentine’s Day falls on a Sunday, which would normally be a bit of a buzzkill, […]

A Look Inside Our Home | Guest Room
Today I’m going to show you some pictures of our guest room – but first, a bit of a story. If you know me in real life (and even if you only know me by way of the interwebs), you probably know that I am a creature of habit. There are a few mitigating factors […]
An Inspired Week | #2
So, here’s the thing. As far as adventures go I’m not exactly jumping at the opportunity to take them. But man oh man do I love to daydream about what it would be like to jump on a plane (I hate to fly) with a one-way ticket to Europe. I’ve told my family countless times […]
Cocktail Hour | Applejack Sazerac
If you live on the East Coast there’s a pretty good chance that you’re prepping to be snowed in this weekend – or hoping you’ll be snowed in. (What, just me?) With that in mind, this week’s Cocktail Hour recipe is all about a cozy drink that’ll keep you pleasantly buzzed. After all, being snowed […]
Tasty Lasagna Rolls
Today I’m sharing my tasty Lasagna Roll recipe with you all! As I mentioned earlier, learning to be a better cook and being a bit more adventurous in the kitchen is one of my favorite things about #adulting. When Chuck and I were living in our apartment there was a lot of pizza, mac and […]
A Look Inside Our Home | First Floor Tour
As I’ve mentioned a couple of times (here and here), when we purchased our home the very, very first thing we did was paint the entire thing. Yep. Every single wall in the entire house was painted. We hired a professional to do the work, since I suck at painting and my husband and I wanted it done before […]
An Inspired Week | #1
The last few weeks have been hectic – the run up to the holidays, followed by the post-holiday crash and some looming projects at work have left me feeling like I need to curl up in a calm space with a good book, a cup of tea, and the coziest blanket I can find. This […]
Cocktail Hour | The North Pole
It’s nearly time for Christmas, and although my husband and I are still without a Christmas Tree (#grinchy) that doesn’t mean I’m not in the Christmas spirit. That said, this week’s Cocktail Hour recipe is chocolate-y, peppermint-y, and downright delicious-y. The North Pole Cocktail Ingredients. 1 1/2 oz. Grey Goose Cherry Noir Flavored Vodka 1/2 oz. […]
Decorating | Area Rug Inspiration
If you follow me on Pinterest (or took a peek at the widget on the homepage) you may have noticed that for the last few days I’ve been pinning tons of images of living rooms/family rooms and dining rooms. While these rooms are gorgeous in their entirety, and most of the furniture is perfect, the reason I’ve […]
Cocktail Hour | Sparkling Apple and Cranberry Cocktail
This is another cocktail that I’m revising a bit, folks. Because creativity! And also, I don’t love pear, which this recipe originally called for. With fall just around the corner (you can’t deny it any more – right now the temperature in Massachusetts is hovering in the low 70’s and it’s glorious!) this cocktail is […]
