Weekend in Review

This past weekend wasn't one filled with big events but it was perfect just the same. The beau came to Boston for a longer than usual visit and that's all this girl needs to make for a wonderful weekend. There was puppy cuddling, movies, drinks, and good food to make up for the dreary weather and now I'm just counting down the days till my next Brooklyn adventure (so soon! I never thought I'd become this fond of NYC)

Little Cleo

Bellinis for everyone (and sneaky picture of the beau because he's camera shy)

Happy Tuesday everyone!

Labor Day Weekend

Four day weekends are what dreams are made of and this Labor Day brought me just that. Fenway, burgers, NYC, patio lounging, brunch...all the ingredients for a successful extra long weekend.

September you're going to be a good one: 

2 weeks till San Diego

3 weeks till back in NY

4 weeks till Providence Half Marathon

Impromptu Red Sox game with the roomies

R.F. O'Sullivan

Williamsburg does a mean patio

The beau thought he was a celebrity and too cool to pose for me outside the restaurant

"Wait, we want the uptown train?" - NYC subway, you still blow my mind

Best. pizza. ever.

Williamsburg Bridge - beating the too slow M train

Brunch and people watching from the roof

Lucky rainbow on the train ride home - I wanna go back!

Life Lately

I've been a bad little blogger again due to my recent endeavor over at Club Belmont. We're busy little bees who apparently were in desparate need for a hobby...

Anyways, I have a little photo recap of life lately ranging from the Bruins, Super Bowl Sunday, Superstorm Nemo, VDay (Offensive, I know. The holiday got the beau and I to participate this year), and some kitchen and restaurant experimentations.

Happy mid February kiddies - fingers crossed for no more snow!

Bruins • Too many Super Bowl Sunday dips for two people • Nemo bevs • Cards Against Humanity to carry us through the storm • Disney Power Hour (aka sing along) • Friends camping out with us during the storm • Shovel, shovel, and shovel some more • VDay Rose • Chalkboard Table at Brunch • Too dark picture of Muqueca • Grilled Cheese BLT Experiments •

And I leave you with a cool shot of Nemo from my roofdeck

Little Things

This past week has been a rather quiet one, no major events or outings planned just a bunch of little things making me smile everyday.

Delicious food, random 80 degree fall days, spontaneous plans with friends, contemplating just wearing a giant poncho for Halloween, and discovering a "leprechauns door" at a local Irish pubs wall are all helping me stay sane.

Now to just get through this week because my house is having our Second Annual Halloween Bash and I don't know if I can wait till Saturday for it!

1. Peanut Butter Thing (it's a tradition) 2. Leprechauns Door 3. Late night thin crust pizza heaven 4. Where did I pack my sandals away to? 5. Pumpkin beer 6. A poncho's a costume...right? 7. New brunch discoveries make me feel like Christopher Columbus 8. I want to marry whoever invented Apple Cider Donuts

Weekend Recap

Rabbit Rabbit

Rabbit Rabbit! Happy October everyone!!

This weekend was one of my beloved three day weekends and I wasn't going to let the incessant rain stand in my way. As you can probably tell from the pictures, the weekend was mostly food themed (as are most of my activities) and I couldn't be happier about it.

Other than the little snag of Oktoberfest being postponed a week -womp womp- because I seemed to be the only one interested in eating and drinking outside in the rain I fit it in lots of other fall goodness.

On the agenda:

• Discovering the best brunch place ever
• Fluffernutters!! Union Square hosted their annual "What the Fluff Fest" (Somerville invented Fluff - you're welcome America)
• Introduced the fam to my favorite Tapas place
• Had anxiety attacks over the Patriots
• Cooked a feast all day with my Mama Dukes (roast chicken and homemade apple pie are what dreams are made of)

Now I think I need to reacquaint myself with the gym put on gym clothes and get distracted by TLC this week to work off all the food goodness.



The Weekend in Review

This weekend was a little slice of summer heaven spent up in Maine with some of my favorite people on this earth.

Nothing's better than an all day long music festival in the sun followed by a day lounging on the beach and playing in the waves. Couldn't resist bragging with a few of my brunch-ing, Gentlemen of the Road tour, and beach photos!

Brunch at The Friendly Toast...bet you didn't know 

Chief Long Lance makes the best shoes out there

There's no better way to escape the heat than getting the 

biggest Blue Icee the movie theater has to offer

Gentlemen of the Road

Everyone should see Mumford and Sons live...so good people!

Music festival-ing with two of my favorite people

Sometimes when I spend all day in the sun I get 

sleepy and my friends take a picture...

My all time favorite place in the world: York Beach, ME

Pretty sure the ocean is the key to happiness
