Wanderlust That urge to go and travel, Where many seas collide, Where mountains seasoned with our grace, In rich old forests hide. It’s something very pretty, A nomadic sort of trust, Journeying the world all over, With a case of wanderlust. – Daniel Thorne Last Friday, I met up with Madeline of Madeline Barr Photography…

My love affair with Brazil began like most of my teenage dreams – with a curly-haired boy who listened to punk rock. Fast forward six years, and that man with a mop is my Brazilian-born husband.

Hands down, my favorite thing about blogging is discovering new places and meeting new people. When Lana Barakat of December Thieves reached out to me to come tour her new space, I was so thrilled!

queue stream of consciousness I’ve been fortunate enough to venture to New York City twice this month. In a bittersweet turn of events, one of my best friends Katie moved back to NYC after living in Boston (and residing down the street form my apartment). Thus, it was only fitting that Alex and get down…

Ahh, Hillstone. Not a Boston original restaurant, but that does not keep it from being “wicked good.” In the heart of Faneuil Hall, marked by yellow umbrellas, you will find this upscale restaurant nestled in beside the trolley tours and the street performers. The elegance of the place itself is embodied in the efficiency of the staff and…
