What I Love Right Now

This adorable set of vintage keys from Pottery Barn! I'm currently in decorating mode to make our place more "homey" and these will fit perfectly above the cast iron coat rack I've been eyeing for the entryway. My mom is awesome and is buying us both xo.

The keys are decorative, but also have a personal meaning - not only do I have the key to N's heart, but now I have the key to his home.

Bittersweet - But More On The Sweet Side

Newsflash: I moved in with N this past weekend! Woah big move.

We packed up all my belongings in my cozy (little) apartment, loaded them into his truck, and as I was about to lock-up for the last time - I cried. Don't get me wrong, it's not because I want to stay. I've had some fabulous times on Cedar Street and I wouldn't change any of the twists and turns in my life that led me to the place I am today -I cried because it's a bittersweet feeling to move on to a new chapter in your life in such a physical way.

The minute we walked out the door, I was over it. Sometimes a girl just needs a minute.

I'm excited to be coexisting with my main man and making what was once just his home, ours :)

Another One Bites The Dust

And I'm absolutely thrilled. My best friend, my forever-valentine and the one who I've spent countless hours with imagining the men of our dreams, has finally found her Mr. Right and he popped the question this weekend. The bride and groom-to-be are glowing with happiness and I was just giddy to hear the news. So excited for a year of planning and preparing for the big day!

Much love to you both xoxo.

Much Love For The Fall

I love the fall in New England. Everything about it. The brisk mornings, the leaves changing color, pumpkins, apple picking, hot chocolate, oversized sweaters, Halloween, MY BIRTHDAY, Thanksgiving... the list could go on and on.

To really play up the season, I've been serving up some fall comfort foods. For example: a new dish, chicken with apple, onion and cider sauce, an oldie,but goodie, pumpkin chocolate chip bread ala the C's, and my very favorite, chicken pot pie!

I've been pretty impressed by my skills so far and I'm always looking for new recipes. If you have a great fall recipe, send it my way!

P.S. If you live in the area, hit up Honey Pot Hill Farm in Stow, MA for the apple cider donuts (the apple picking is great too) - you won't regret it.
