DEALING WITH PHOTO OVERWHELM

This past week, I sat down to fill out a little birthday book for Jack. It was a gift from a friend at my baby shower– and it’s darling: a little binder to fill in photos from your child’s birthday (from their “birth day” through eighteen). I had a ton of photos printed and sat…

BLUEBERRY TEA CAKE RECIPE

The other weekend, Mike had taken Jack down the shore. I had reorganized the pantry, washed and folded five loads of laundry, made up all the beds, and was caught up on work. I had two giant containers of blueberries sitting in the refrigerator and was inspired to bake. To me this is the ultimate form…

Plus, flipping through them is always inspiring! I noticed there’s been a lot of new releases this year and wanted to…

ENDEAVOR SAILING NANTUCKET

We really don’t plan many things for our trip to Nantucket. To me the beauty is relaxing into a slower pace, visiting favorite spots and trying new ones, and just seeing where the day takes us.
