There’s a slight chill in the air that tells me autumn is just around the corner. Lazy August days are dangling by a thread as I ponder what it will feel like to drop the girls off at their first day of school. Over the next few weeks we will desperately hold onto the best… read more

Read all about it!

August 12, 2013 Leave a Comment

Reading keeps your mind sharp. It allows escape and encourages emotions. I love curling up in a cozy chair and tearing into a good book. Or digging my toes into the sand and sitting by the water’s edge as I disappear into another world far away. Isn’t that what the month of August is for?… read more

S’mores anyone?

August 1, 2013 1 Comment

Two weeks ago we packed the kids into the car and headed Northeast for a weekend away. It was our first time in Cape Cod since a wedding years ago and I forgot how special the area is. I’m a sucker for a clam shack along a single-lane highway. I die for beach walks at… read more

For Little People

Camp is done. Kids are home. And we plan on spending two weeks lounging in jammies, picnicking at the beach, and soaking up some long August days by the pool.

That Which Nourishes

My love affair with jewels never wanes. When I hold a piece of fine jewelry I can’t help but imagine the designer’s hands bringing the raw materials to life and the designer’s eyes watching each minute detail affect the final piece. In my opinion even a newly created piece of jewelry shows hints of the history it… read more

Are there days, weeks, months, when you feel like the very hungry caterpillar? The cravings just don’t stop? I fancy myself to be a pretty healthy lady – but these days the wheels have come off the tracks! Summer is about hands coated in sticky gooey post-s’mores marshmallowy goodness. It feels appropriate to almost bathe… read more
