Happy Weekend! I’m in Maine this weekend for a wedding and looking forward to ALL the lobster rolls and taking in the jagged coastline and ocean views! I visited Kennebunkport a few years ago and fell in love with Maine, so I’m looking forward to exploring more of the coastline on this trip! Now, let’s get on with the weekend wanderlust!

Happy Weekend! With kids going back to school there is a lot of excitement in the air at this time of year! In the words of Taylor Swift “This is a new year. A new beginning.

The end of summer has arrived. And with that, my end of summer bucket list is in full effect. Here’s the plan: Sneak out early from work (shhh, don’t tell!) and take the scenic drive home with the windows down Read a book on a hammock Enjoy cocktails with…
