We’re one day closer to Thanksgiving and I’m telling you right now, I’m already excited. We’re actually eating at my mom’s house this year, which in and of itself is pretty awesome, because that lady is one heck of a cook. Also, she always makes vegetarian-friendly versions of all the Thanksgiving favorites for me so …

Which neatly sums up why I’m thrilled to be sharing their recent end of summer s’mores party with you. It’s the perfect celebration of the end of summer, a bittersweet farewell …
Following yesterday’s ode to the classic summer lobster boil, it only seemed fitting that we talk about hosting our own seafood boil or clam bake before the season is over! While it may seem a daunting exercise in hosting, it’s really not all that tricky. You just need to load up on seafood, set some …
Lobster boils, clam bakes, seafood boils – I’m obsessed! (I’ve mentioned this before, I know I know.) Lately though, I’m really hurting for a classic Maine lobster boil. I want the bib, the salt potatoes dripping in butter, the blueberry cobbler to finish it all off. I will tell you that lobster is my favorite …
Guys, I am all kinds of in love with this amazing birthday party that Alix planned for her friend Stacey in celebration of her 28th birthday. With a chic all-white and gold color palette, the whole look is so festive and just downright pretty. Guests were greeted with an elegant backyard dinner spread and their …
Back in my early days of blogging, Portugese powerhouse photography and event styling duo Brancoprata were just busting onto the scene. We became fast online friends and since then I’ve loved seeing their vast portfolio of work evolve into something truly inspiring. Recently André’s youngest niece celebrated her first birthday and Brancoprata pulled out all the stops …
By now you’re likely well aware that I’m a complete sucker for a lemonade stand. Maybe it’s because I grew up on a rather rural road and never had enough neighbors as a kid to have my own? Maybe. That could well be it. Or maybe it’s just because lemonade stands feel like the epitome …
