A Cape Cod Life + Travel Blog
I contemplated not doing this type of blog post, because, you know 2020. The holidays are going to look a lot different this year than in years past. But, even though we likely won’t be going to work holiday parties, to the Nutcracker, or any other large gatherings, we will probably still celebrate the holidays in some way or another. Plus I’m a firm believer …
My mom is the expert crêpe maker in the family. The only problem is she doesn’t have a recipe and just makes them her own way… or the way my grandma taught her. Elle who is not a huge breakfast girl, can usually eat 8-12 of nana’s crêpes, no joke, just plain, with butter. So this morning on our day off, I decided to give …
Last week we were treated to a two night, three day stay at one of Cape Cod’s premier ocean front resorts. Ocean Edge Resort and Golf Club is located in Brewster, Massachusetts, and this gorgeous property offers something for everyone. From accommodations at The Mansion or The Villages, a pristine golf course, access to a private beach, multiple pools, spa, on site restaurants, and an …
This morning we woke up to snow. C’mon Mother Nature, don’t you know it’s March? At least it was sunny and we were in the mood for pancakes. Elle had on her Bella Bliss Easter jammies, so it only seemed appropriate to make bunny pancakes. I got our pancake Easter molds at Williams-Sonoma a few years back, and every year we make these adorable pancakes. …
Two weekends ago, we packed our bags, packed our car and headed up north to Mountain View Grand Resort located in the heart of New Hampshire’s White Mountains. We stayed two nights, and never left the resort because there was so much to do. I actually wish we had an extra night/day to enjoy more of the resort and the property, but we will definitely …
How it feels. What it costs. Is it worth it? Two weeks ago, I did a thing. A thing I said I would NEVER do. I said I would never do it, because I didn’t know any better. Being in my mid 30’s, I have heard B word thrown around in my circle of friends, acquaintances, and colleagues. But no one I knew had actually …
Here is some truth. I was never a huge fan of hearts. They always seemed a bit cheesy too me. But, after having my daughter Elle, I have a newfound love of all things hearts. Kids clothing with sweetly placed hearts on a dress ribbon, little heart embroidery on a cardigan, jammies with hearts, give me all of it! With Valentine’s Day quickly approaching, this …
Yup, this title says it all. If you are a Bostonian or have visited Boston, you may have heard or better yet, stopped by Flour Bakery. Let’s just say, they know what they are doing, and their banana bread is out of this world. A few years ago, my mom and I found the recipe online for this famous bread, and we have been making …
Yesterday, Elle, my mom, and I spent all day baking and it was the best day! After searching through many sugar cookie recipes, I settled on this one. A few small things to note. One: we made 1/2 the recipe because the full seemed like a lot, and we ended up with about 20 larger cookies. Two: we put 1/2 the dough in the freezer …
Bokeh, “bouquet”, BOH-KAY, or however else you want to pronounce it, I’m guessing it’s blowing up your IG feed. I admit it, I’m a big fan of twinkly blurry background lights. So much so, that I don’t really want to take my tree down, like ever, because all of the sudden, indoor pictures aren’t as magical looking anymore. With a few weeks left of twinkly …
