FRIENDS! READERS! PEOPLE OF BOSTON!!

I have been to the most adorable cafe in all the land.

I came upon it last Thursday when I went out to meet some of my favorite ever blog friends for lunch.

But is it not the most amazing place ever OR WHAT.

The menu is wonderful, too. Really, truly, delicious.

Tatte Bakery + Cafe

BREAKFAST + LUNCH // DINNER

AND.

AND!

The best part of all:

My dates!

Claire + Bridget + Rachael + Natalie

{and little Mathias, too}

Thankful that blogging has brought me closer to each of these women. They are seriously the loveliest.

♥

takin’ a break, havin’ some fun.

February 17, 2013

I’ll be away from the blog this week. Nine whole days of no work and no worries.

What for you say? February vacation, that’s what! A school teacher’s dream.

I’ll be traveling (sort of) south for a few days, and I’m so excited to get away for awhile. I need this vacation from work and teaching– it’s just what I’m looking for to get me on my way to warmer days. On the agenda? A New York City adventure is in order, and some time seeing my family in Greenwich. On Thursday, when I’m back in the Bean, I’ll be meeting up with some favorite people for a fun blog friend lunch. And then Friday I have plans to visit my best friend Hannah in Maine.

It’s all very exciting and very busy, which hopefully means a lot of pictures + a lot to write about upon my return.

Have a good week, everyone! See you again soon, Boston!

{these photographs were taken a few weeks ago when I took the elevator up up up to the Skywalk at the very top of the Prudential Center. The views of the city from high in the sky are incredible— and a bonus tip for teachers: with an MTA card, it’s free!}

OH! And one more thing!

Since I’m now officially in business (!!), there are business cards to be had!

Zan gifted these to me this weekend and I’m crazy pumped about it. I’ve been wanting some cards for my blog for awhile, and now with my shop it just seemed like the perfect time to make it happen. I decided on MOO cards because I’ve heard great things and also, I was able to design my own! LOVE. I can’t wait for them to get here.

They will go out with all my orders and also be handed to you tastefully should I ever meet you in person.

I’m legit, guys. It’s for serious.

Don’t forget while I’m gone you can still find me on the twitter and instagram.

Clearly two things I just can’t quit.

Alright. Enough. I’M OUT.

STAY COZY.

January 23, 2013

Good LORD it is freezing here!

And from the looks of my twitter feed it seems like it’s that way everywhere. STAY WARM, FRIENDS! STAY COZY!

When it’s super cold like this our school has “indoor recess”. Basically this means I never get my room to myself, not for even one second, and everyone (ME ESPECIALLY) is going stir crazy. I mean goodness knows I love my littles, but snow pants and me do not get along. Every day my class is littered with more snow pants, hats, gloves, and boots than I can count. How many stuck coat zippers does it take to make this teacher crazy? Not that many apparently.

Get me to spring!!!! We’re all screaming inside. (And even though you may not have to deal with the snow pants, you KNOW you’re with me on this.)

Winter isn’t all that bad though, I guess.

I mean… let’s see:

there are snow days

and hot chocolate dates

and the weird satisfaction of sitting in your own home wearing a hat and gloves (happening NOW)

and cozying up with books under blankets

and dreamy thoughts of spring

AND DELICIOUS MEMORIES OF SUMMER.

Let’s sit on that for awhile with a cup of hot tea, shall we? Yes, let’s.

These photos were taken on my snow day last Wednesday. My lense kept fogging up because of the cold and the wet, but I think it looks kind of cool in some of the shots. I decided I could either sit around all day (what I do too much for my own liking in the winter), or get out and make something of it. I tried to get to the snow in time, but it had pretty much all melted by the time I got around to taking these pictures. I didn’t mind really, as a walk through Beacon Hill always puts me in a good mood. Plus, fresh out-of-the-oven blueberry muffins with a friend doesn’t hurt either.

Sending you all lots of warm thoughts over the next few days! Wear those hats outside! (AND IN!)

boston, in december, at night.

December 12, 2012

It’s perfect, isn’t it?

It’s been a busy couple of weekends and I haven’t gotten to take my walks with my camera as often as I’d like lately. With holiday this and holiday that it’s been kind of crazy around here, which is fun (and makes me forget about the cold for awhile), but it’s also exhausting. Ever since December’s hit I’ve been wanting to visit Boston at night to capture the lights in all their glory. You know, walk around with my camera, enjoy the city, do my thing. Last night brought me to Beacon Hill to meet up with new friends, and I finally got my wish.

Here they are! THE LIGHTS! They sparkle! And they are BEAUTIFUL.

Twinkle perfection.
