As I write this, sitting on my couch, I’m supposed to be in Connecticut, reviewing a hotel in Greenwich.

But, the change in… [read more]
I adore Vineyard Vines clothes and accessories, but don’t adore their prices. I have a few of their things that I bought on sale, but I just can’t afford to wear their clothes on a regular basis. Last week, while on Facebook, an ad popped up in the right margin of the site for the… [read more]

My daughter was premature, and although she never needed to spend time in the NICU, I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for the March of Dimes. They work tirelessly to help prevent birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality, and also support advance maternal and health research. This weekend, Macy’s is working with… [read more]
I’ve always wanted to attend a Cirque du Soleil performance, but never had the opportunity. It seemed that the chance would once again pass me by when I was invited to attend opening night along with a group of other bloggers, as my husband was out of town that night. But, this time… [read more]
My family loves Mexican food. Not the junk food, Americanized version of Mexican food, but the real, authentic Mexican food.

Although I didn’t grow up in Boston, I still have fond memories of the enchanted village at Jordan Marsh from when I first moved here. The village made Boston feel a bit like New York, or London, with extravagant holiday displays. So, when it first came down, I was sad that it was… [read more]
My kids love watching shows – their little eyes light up at the sight of Disney On Ice, Yo Gabba Gabba Live, and even Max and Ruby live. But up until today, they’d never seen anything that was not specifically made for children. So, I wasn’t sure how they’d react to seeing the… [read more]
