Butterblume is one cool concept. It’s a restaurant, cafe and floral boutique all under one open space. While in Montreal, my husband and I visited this place for brunch. We sat at the bar and had a clear view of the chefs prepping magic. The ingredients are fresh and simple yet what’s on your plate … More BUTTERBLUME
There is no doubt Spring is one of the best times to visit Boston. I’ve called this city my home for almost a decade now and I still fall more and more in love with it everyday of my adult life. For me, it’s truly a love affair. Like true love, you just know it … More Boston Destinations
In the summer of 2013, we took Zoey to France, Italy, and Portugal. She was definitely a world traveling toddler. Below are some snapshots of the Palace of Versailles. The architectural details are dreamy and surreal. I don’t dream of much. Just want my house to look like this. Too much to ask?! Zoey and … More Travel: Palace of Versailles
With this post, I’m taking you back to summer ’13 when we took Zoey to Paris right before her second birthday. I can’t believe how much she’s grown since. Back then, she barely said a word and now she’s conversing in sentences such as “Mommy, let’s go on a family field trip. Yes or No?” … More Flashback Friday: Paris ’13
A few months ago, I took Zoey and my two sisters to Afternoon Tea at the Boston Harbor Hotel. It’s the perfect place for catching up on sisterly chit-chats. Enjoying Afternoon Tea has made its way up my list on the ‘tres chic’ things to do. How can you go wrong with view of the … More Tres Chic
Good morning! It’s such a beautiful Autumn day here in Boston. I just absolutely love looking out my bedroom window. The view is magnificent- colorful maple trees and rows of gas light lamp posts lining the charming neighborhood streets. Soon, these posts will be all decked out for the holiday. There’s over 200 of them … More Gloss48’s Launch Party!
Hello! How’s everyone’s weekend going so far? It’s chilly up here in the New England area. In a way, I love days like this when it feels super cozy and soup totally hits the spot. I made butternut squash soup topped w/ bacon bits (of course) and pumpkin seeds for brunch . It was delish! In … More Flashback: PARIS!
Happy Monday! Yesterday, we had Zoey spent the night at her aunt’s house. Finally, there was a great opportunity for the hubs and I to watch a movie together or do something fun for date-night. Needless to say, none of that happened b/c as soon we went home (8:30pm), I was so exhausted I went … More Beachside Food
While in Paris, one of the things that I really wanted to do was go to the Lover’s Bridge and lock our love… forever. The Lover’s Bridge is actually a chain link fence of the Pont Des Arts (crosses the left bank to the Louvre museum). Lovers write love notes on padlocks and lock it … More Lover’s Bridge
Life might finally return to normalcy again! It feels familiar and so good to sit in front of MY computer. I work so much faster knowing where all the programs are. Love me some efficiency. Here’s the first official post of our recent adventures in Paris. After sipping on lattes & enjoying the flakiest croissants … More Alleyway in Paris
Whenever I go somewhere foreign, one of the things that I look forward to the most is finding the perfect meaningful trinkets for my sisters back home. Because I have 5 of them, sometimes it’s a challenge to find 5 of one thing. This time however, it was easy. While shopping in Italy, I saw … More For The Sisters
After what felt like a lifetime spent halfway across the world, I’m so ecstatic to be back home! We took Ms. Precious to visit France, Italy, and Portugal and although we had loads of fun, I’ve concluded that we shall never ever plan a vacay for more than 7 days. Any longer than that, I … More Home Sweet Home
Just some random chit-chat worthy things to mention…. Earlier this week, I bought these cool concrete initials for Zoey’s future bedroom (for when we move to our new place…whenever that is!) from Restoration Hardware. This is the type of random not-thought-out purchase that my husband would categorize as “junk.” Lately, I’ve been mildly obsessed with … More Friday Chit-Chat
Hammock. Beach. Sunset. Loved ones. I couldn’t ask for more. (Marco Island, a few weeks ago) Zoey is the sweetest child and is growing up too fast. Wishing that time stood still. At that time, Zoey wasn’t feeling too well. But now, she’s up and running like a wild child again! Smiling at the hubs … More A Hammock Moment
Back from a week long trip to Marco Island / Miami! It was nice spending much needed time with the family and bonding over noisy late night dinners. We (the sisters) spent the entire day with our mother yesterday. Destinations included a visit to sis’s wedding venue, an overpriced and not so impressive lunch, cupcake … More Sunset On Marco Island
It’s 6am here on Marco Island and I’m as awake as can be. Yesterday was almost a perfect day. We finally have our old Zoey back, the one who’s a bit of a rascal, can’t live without her ipad, and loves digging through mommy’s things. Truthfully, I was so anxious and happy to see her … More A Day On Marco Island
Hello! We are currently in Marco Island enjoying the warm beachy weather. A very nice change from the bitter winter cold. Just a quick post to share random pics via instagram. Handbag packed and ready to go! Zoey and her ducky at the airport. After a long night of traveling, we finally arrived in Miami … More In Sunny FL
Hello!! Hope everyone had a GREAT X-Mas! Don’t things appear to go at 5mph after the holidays? I’m feeling sluggish and lazy. The cold weather doesn’t help either. Anyhow, while in Atl we went to downtown to watch the X-Mas lights at Centennial Olympic Park. Very nice and festive although I was quite surprised that … More Downtown Lights
Went through some pictures and saw these ones back in early Fall… Each Fall, we take weekend trips to nearby apple/pumpkin orchards. They’re so much fun! Zoey and I on a barren road. I love our faint shadows on the road. And in a blink of an eye, she dashes away! Most days, I feel … More On One Fall Day
Hi all, hope you are having a great day!! We are Miami-bound to see my side of the family for Thanksgiving. I can hardly wait!

Always, a BIG tote to carry all the mommy and … More Holiday Traveling Essentials
