Nantucket for the Day

| 12 Comments

This weekend was one of the best ones ever. My family flew into town Thursday night and we went out to a late dinner (complete with giant cones of gelato and lobster tacos). The four of us packed up my car to head up to our friends’ house on the Cape.

The eight of us decided to take the ferry over to Nantucket early Sunday morning to spend the day there before heading back for a casual dinner back at their house. It was my sister and parents’ first time and we had a blast. Honestly, all of us could have a great time if we were in the middle of nowhere, but it doesn’t hurt to be somewhere as gorgeous as Nantucket.

Where to Begin if You Want to Journal

| 13 Comments

I am so in love with this post for a few reasons. One, it was requested by a reader. I can’t even begin to tell you how much your emails and snaps and tweets and comments make my day. They really do! Two, Maxie dug up an old post that brought back so many memories. I…

A Few Ways to Travel with Way Less Stress

| 6 Comments

Maxie must have bugged my apartment last week. The night before my flight I was a wreck. I hate traveling. I really do. Everything about it stresses me out. (Even thinking about my flight home tomorrow is enough to bring me to tears.) Garrett was half-laughing at me because I get like these before every flight without…

One Thing We All Need to Get Better At

You know how sometimes when you’re talking with a friend, you get the feeling that they’re a little distracted and not truly listening? It doesn’t feel good. But you can also feel yourself feeling distracted or not fully engaged when trying to listen to a friend. I know I’ve been on both ends of that and…

Coats I’m Eyeing…

| 13 Comments

Coats are one of the most exciting things to me when it comes to cooler weather. Having grown up mostly in Florida, all I ever wanted when it was “back to school” time was one of those cute corduroy coats I’d see in the catalogues. (Remember when back to school shopping was done from a…

I’m Moving!!!

| 82 Comments

Well, WE are moving! Garrett, Teddy, and I have packed up the apartment (but not really, it’s still a disaster) to move to Connecticut tomorrow. If you had asked me three years ago, as I was putting together Ikea furniture and eating takeout on the floor while I unpacked, if I would ever leave NYC the…

One Year of Fitness

| 53 Comments

One of the biggest ironies of my life is that I was a Division I athlete. I actually have a varsity letter in a men’s sport no less. My dad always said that if he had to put his life-savings on the line, he would have said my sister (formally known as Sporty Sis if…

Fall with J. McLaughlin

| 9 Comments

Despite wanting to cling to summer for dear life, I have been finding myself eyeing the new fall things with heart eyes. I do love a good sweater. Add in a touch of corduroy and this former Florida girl is weak at the knees. J. McLaughlin recently sent me a few pieces from their newest…

Postcards from Nantucket

| 30 Comments

I have a ton of posts coming down the pipeline (brace yourself 😂) from Nantucket, but I thought I’d kick things off with some photos from my iPhone. Get ready for some photo overload!!! If you can believe it, I narrowed down my photos quite a bit. This was, without a doubt, my favorite trip…
