If You’re Feeling Lost: How To Rediscover Yourself

July 17th, 2019
Location  •   Groton, Connecticut

Let’s talk about how to embrace feeling lost by redirecting your thoughts! Recently I’ve been feeling lost – and it’s not the greatest feeling. Usually, I’m on deadline and respond to all emails by the end of a workday. Up until June, I felt good about where I was at in life and where I wanted to go. But once summer hit, I began to worry about creating new adventures and where those adventures would take me. Initially, I wanted to push away the feeling of being lost. As someone who considers themselves Type-A I started sorting out…

How To Create A Couples Photo Shoot Worthy Of Instagram

July 12th, 2019
Location  •   Nantucket, Massachusetts

A popular request I find in my inbox asks about couples photo shoots. Questions range from how to style a shoot to how I convince Matt to participate. Relationship photo shoots can be hard to pull off. Even Matt would admit he is a hard model to work with – from eating the props to talking during snaps – nothing is picture perfect behind the scenes. After creating these shoots for years I’ve learned a thing or two about pulling off a couples photo shoot that’s Instagram worthy. Whether you’re a photographer looking for new content or a blogger dreaming of…

5 Putting Greens With Cedar-Shingled Views

July 8th, 2019
Location  •   Fenwick, Connecticut

Come summer, the best outdoor activity in New England is golf! New Englanders know a thing or two about landing a hole-in-one while taking in the view.   I receive several emails a day asking for recommendations on just about everything such as, where to purchase a home in New England, where to take a boyfriend golfing, and lighthouses to visit on a date. So, when a reader inquired about a picture-worthy golf course – I knew it was time to explore some greens.  Before heading out, I knew I had to look the part. So, I headed straight for Lilly Pulitzer’s…

June 24th, 2019

From lobster rolls to adventures in Nantucket, a summer trip to New England should be a rite of passage! However, if you grew up here you might be taking it for granted – as Matt and I sometimes do. When planning a date sometimes we resort to staying in and binge-watching Netflix or we head out for a movie and dinner. We often forget about the amazing options just 30 minutes to two hours away.  This summer we decided to make a summer bucket list. Exploring lighthouses together was a top pick! Lighthouses are great for romantic pictures, good…

One thing I love about New England is all the farms and family-run businesses. Whether it’s historic building turned into garden nurseries or apple orchards featuring an expansive selection of perennials and seasonal annuals, these experiences are uniquely New England. Which is why when the rain stopped, Matt and I started visiting such garden centers to create a game plan for purchasing and planting our yard in the future. Not to mention, we love having the opportunity to support local garden centers.  Below we’ve gathered a list of a few garden centers in Connecticut that might be worth…
