A Slice of French Coast

by 2 Comments
I’m not sure I can adequately describe how it felt to be in Europe again. It all still feels like a dream after a 3 year hiatus. But our week in the French Riviera (or Cote D’Azur) was better than I even imagined it would be. I had never been to the South of France. I heard of it of course. As a young child, I remember hearing one of the haughty soap opera characters on my aunt’s “stories” say she was vacationing in  ...

A New (Snow)bird’s-eye View of Palm Beach County

by
I think I’m too young to be a snowbird. But after years of talking about it, we did it. We purchased property in Florida. So, I guess I’m now a Palm Beach County snowbird and I’m here to share a few of my favorite things about PBC with you! How We Got Here For years my husband I would have the Miami versus Boca (our go-tos) debate as to where we wanted to be during the cold weather months up north. Although we love Miami  ...

My Non-Resolutions and Travel Hopes for 2022

by 2 Comments
As we ring in 2022, I think we all have had enough! Rules (often contradictory and confusing) have been a constant and perhaps it’s time for a year with no resolutions. So this year, I’m offering you my non-resolutions and travel hopes for 2022. Pack Whatever I Want Everyone advises to pack less, to streamline. I recently heard someone say “you don’t become a different person on vacation, so don’t pack things you don’t normally wear.”  ...

Bittersweet Birthdays

by 2 Comments
I am an all-in birthday girl. I LOVE my birthday. I love celebrating my birthday. I think everyone should celebrate their birthday for their entire birth month. But the birthday DAY has to be special. Growing up, birthdays were not spectacular celebrations or reasons to travel. Birthdays were usually family in our backyard, or if it rained, in our garage. Yes, our garage. But I find as I get older, birthdays are a thing that should be  ...

Nantucket, Summer’s Siren Song

by 2 Comments
There is a magical island off the coast of Massachusetts that calls to me every summer. It is old and small and the streets are uneven and yet its siren song is irresistible. It isn’t easy explaining why Nantucket is so special. I could say that it is my absolute favorite place to be in the summer, but that’s not really telling you anything. I could say it has miles of gorgeous, soft, sandy beaches, top restaurants, and fabulous  ...

Montauk, a Slice of Hamptons Heaven

by
Back in my 20s, I spent many summers in East Hampton, NY having the good fortune of having a best friend with a house on Three Mile Harbour. I fondly remember escaping there for a few weeks after taking the Bar Exam in the summer of 1992.  Those mornings, when we would make a daily sojourn to the Barefoot Contessa for yogurt loaf (thinking we were eating healthy!), before Ina Garten was INA GARTEN, are some of my favorite  ...

When life gives you lemons…

by 12 Comments
I have been obsessed with all things lemon lately- painted lemon serving platters, lemon-ricotta pancakes, lemon print bikinis… Maybe it’s my presently unquenchable thirst to return to Italy that is sparking this new obsession. I dream of returning to Capri, the island famous for its gigantic, lucious and fragrant lemons. Life has certainly thrown quite a few lemons at us all this past year. We have been fortunate to have made our way  ...
