Hi friends, welcome back! This past weekend Jon, Violet, and I headed to the Hudson Valley to check out the Great Jack O' Lantern Blaze. This was our fourth year attending and we always look forward to it! We had tickets for Friday night and we tried beating traffic, but it was a long almost…
Hi friends, welcome back! July was a scorcher so I’m happy to be another month closer to fall. We had a pretty low-key month based off the lack of pictures from the past 31 days. We had a seafood dinner party with our friends, went out for brunch, and ended the month with a Chinatown…

Happy November 1st! I hope you all had a great Halloween and are ready for all things Christmas now 🙂 On our last full day in Boston, we decided to go to Cambridge and see Harvard’s campus. Our first stop was Café Crema for some much needed coffee. I got a French Toast Latte that…
Jon’s birthday was on a Monday (June 25th), so we decided to celebrate the weekend before. In the morning we met our friends and lifted with them. I did some deadlifts while Jon benched with his bros. We went to Insomnia Cookies afterwards because I was starting to get hangry! We got the peanut butter…
