It’s safe to say I think the family Thanksgiving trip to Breckenridge was the best 5 days of my life… BAR FREAKING NONE.  What a beautiful reminder to be present! It’s such a beautiful place, our Airbnb was basically my ski-girl fantasy come to life, and I just love Colorado with my whole heart. I’ve got so many insider tips, updates, and little gems to share from this trip. Packing & Travel Chaos... Packing before my trip almost became a mini crisis over which shoes to bring

I know my readers have been dying to know about our recommendations and itinerary for Hawai’i so let’s recap! Annabel and I went to Oahu, for a sister trip; she flew down a couple days before me for her Plant Science Conference. APS I believe it’s called—but don’t quote me because I don’t know! The View Flying into Honolulu Flying in was unlike anything I've ever witnessed. I was nervous for the flight and unsure what to expect, but it truly did not disappoint. It looked like

Hawaii changed my entire perspective. Okay I know you read that and probably think ...ugh here goes another person yapping about how a trip somewhere changed their entire personality . Hold your judgement for a moment and let me explain. My sister is in grad school working on her masters and earned her way to attend the annual conference for APS – plant studies, which just happened to be this year in … Hawaii!  She planted the seed (pun definitely intended) for me to join her

Hi besties! I am just returning from a long weekend in Charleston (Chucktown!) celebrating my beautiful cousin’s bachelorette. To say we had a blast is an understatement as I’m still recovering days later at work! Charleston is a beautiful city, much like Boston but with a more tropical feel…and the men are sexier (taller)! My cousin Julia gets married in September, so we headed down south to celebrate. My cousins Caity and Sarah went as well. We had the best of both worlds o

This past weekend my college girlfriend visited and we went on a New Hampshire adventure! Time spent with Allycia is the best -  it’s so easy and I know whatever we do will turn into one of my favorite memories. Originally we were going to do a classic Boston tourist weekend, but Allycia had the great idea of going up to New Hampshire instead. Do you have friendships where you can do absolutely nothing and it means everything? She is someone I can talk to about absolutely any

I just got back from spending a few days out west in Denver with my brother and sister-in-law before starting my new job! Sunshine ski days, hikes, puppy time, and just special time spent with my peeps. Anytime I’m in Denver it’s the most magical, amazing time. We skied for a few days, laughed, ate, and hiked. Many of you know that Colorado is one of my favorite places, so I wanted to share a little travel journal on all the things. Skiing: My brother and I did two full days

A while back I talked about my love for skiing and mentioned Killington. And the fun [trouble] I get into while I’m there. My cousin Kerry, is my partner in crime on and off skis and we end up at Killington a lot each season. To the point where the locals are asking us if we’re local. It’s been like Vegas—what happens in Killington, stays in Killington. But now, I need to share the tales we’ve lived to tell from our time spent there. While Killington is expensive, it feels fu
