We spent the 4th of July weekend (plus a few extra days) down in Charlottesville, VA visiting my great Mom and Dad. It is a pretty cute city and there are some things to do, although we spent most of the time sitting on their beautiful porch picking tomatoes off the vine and eating them.… Continue reading July 4th in Charlottesville
The second leg of our Italian adventure was visiting the gorgeous island of Sardegna. To be honest, I had no idea what to expect – all I knew was that the flight was cheap and the beaches were good so we signed up. I’ll tell you this – we went to Neptune’s Grotto which was positively magical and… Continue reading Sardegna!
A few weeks ago we had the excuse to take a trip to Rome for Chiara and Ryan’s wedding. I had never been before and made the most detailed itinerary that had activities planned down to the minute and even metro and bus routes mapped out. I was so proud to only take one taxi… Continue reading Roma!
My parents sent us out to dinner for Mike’s birthday which was both generous and delicious. For some reason we had never been to The Queens Kickshaw even though their menu is full of cheese and we decided that there’s no time like the present to make a good food-related decision. It was next to impossible… Continue reading Queens Kickshaw
My goal for the weekend was to sleep all day for both of the days and I executed that successfully with only a slight hiccup. The first thing you have to know about this weekend is that Mike was extremely athletic. He had a softball game on Saturday and a Spartan race on Sunday. The… Continue reading A Little Weekend Mischief
I have always wanted to be a part of a book club that was really about books and not just about wine. A few friends decided we’d start one up and our first book was Among The Missing by Morag Joss. I did not particularly enjoy this book – it felt slow moving and didn’t seem to… Continue reading Book Club – Among the Missing
We celebrated Mike’s 28th birthday this weekend by doing a million different activities. We saw the pin-striped Yankees on Saturday as they played against the Tampa Bay Rays. The sun was shining and it was Babe Ruth bobblehead day so that would have been enough. Luckily, it got even better when, after the most boring… Continue reading Mike’s Birthday
I give Samsung so much credit for making this commercial because it’s truly enjoyable content. I’d watch a full length feature of this commercial. It’s got America’s favorite couple Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard in it and it’s peppered full of cute little lines and moments. The eggs are in love with the bacon! The… Continue reading A Favorite Commercial
Well it’s been a bit crazy in these parts which means that life has been good! The above picture was taken in the East Village on our way to eat fondue with our newly engaged friends Sarah and Rajeev. We ate the fondue in their apartment because fondue is fantastically easy to make. All you… Continue reading Life Lately
Since I’m from Maine, that’s where my best friend lives. It’s hard to be so far apart from someone who, though not biologically related, is my heart and soul sister. But it means that every time we get to see each other, we have an extra special time. It’s also special because Elizabeth has the… Continue reading A Visit To Maine
