Hi friends, welcome back! We recently spent a week in Nantucket, and I thought I’d share some snapshots with you. This year we drove to Hyannis and then took the high-speed ferry over. The last time we drove we said never again, but we are at least an hour closer, so we figured we’d see…
Hi friends, welcome back and a belated Happy New Year! I’m excited to be back for my eighth year of blogging. I started this blog a few months before I moved to NYC and life sure looks a lot different now. 2026 is looking like an exciting year ahead. We’ll be celebrating our five-year wedding…
Hi friends, welcome back! We are having a great September and I hope you are too. Jon and I spent Labor Day weekend up north with my family in Petoskey, Michigan. My parents rented a house on a lake and it was such a relaxing place to say goodbye to summer. We biked, hiked, played…
Hi friends, welcome back! This post is extra special because we have some news to share…Baby Hammond is coming in December! We are very excited for this new chapter of our lives and have been taking it easy this year as we await her arrival. It’s finally starting to sink in that this is really…

Hi friends, welcome back to my Nantucket series! On our second full day on the island, we decided to explore Sconset on the eastern side. It’s about eight miles from town so not walkable.

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…
Hi friends, welcome back to my Nantucket series! Our second day on the island was extra special because we were celebrating Jon’s birthday. We started the day grabbing some lattes from Handlebar Cafe to enjoy on picturesque Main Street. We freshened up for the day and headed to our new favorite lunch spot, Born &…
Hi friends, welcome to the start of my Nantucket series! When Jon and I were planning our summer vacation, we wanted something easy and relaxing without requiring a flight. We usually try to go someplace new, but we kept coming back to Nantucket. We booked a room at Seven Sea Street Inn, where we stayed…
Hi friends, welcome back! I’m a week late with my What’s Up because Jon and I spent last week relaxing in Nantucket. We ate some delicious food including our daily ice cream, celebrated Jon’s birthday, hung at the beach, enjoyed the pleasant weather, and didn’t want to leave. The rest of the month was spent…
