Spring Fever

Today was one of those rare, warm February days here in New England and it immediately got me pining for spring. All day I couldn’t help but think of all the little joys that come with warmer weather: walking around random stores in beach towns, playing tennis, reading outside under the sun, wearing sundresses and light jackets, and sitting on patios with a few drinks and good friends. This inspired me to compile a few springtime images to cheer me up and help me through the rest of this (hopefully mild) winter. Enjoy my warm weather dreams with me!

Goldenrod at York Beach, Maine…a little slice of
taffy, lobster roll, ice cream heaven at the beach.

Sangrias are delicious and welcome at all times but
something about them always reminds me of warm weather fun.

Something about this J.Crew dress makes me want to set up
residency on a patio with the above sangria and some of my lovely girlfriends.

Fires and s’mores by the lake are one of those things

that’s just as fun when you’re 24 as when you were 10.

Super Bowl XLVI – Go Pats!

Super Bowl Sunday's just around the corner and I couldn't be more thrilled that my Patriots are at the top once again! Not only do I get to "coach" the players by yelling at them through my TV but this Sunday also presents the opportunity to indulge in good food and drinks at parties. I've been busy collecting some of my favorite recipes to make for the big day (buffalo chicken dip and pizza roll ups top the list). Here are some of my favorite parts of Super Bowl Sunday:

Save Ferris! Super Bowl commercials are like a sport themselves and

even though it's a car commercial but I still can't get enough of Matthew Broderick back as Ferris.

Nothing like a little team spirit. (If I see Giants

gear anywhere you will be promptly removed from my home.)

Frank's Red Hot Buffalo Chicken Dip. Trust me, this dip will change your life.

I've never tried these before but they seem quick, easy, and

like the perfect football food so that's good enough for me!
