annie hall

"I would never want to belong to any club that would have someone like me for a member".

Annie Hall was introduced to me by my friend Kailey. It's one of my favorite Woody Allen movies. Diane is just too good.

giving&thanks

Autumn swept me up--it came and went before I could catch my breath!  My mom came to visit, my roommates and I had an Indians and Pilgrims party, I celebrated a pretty authentic Thanksgiving with family (twenty people!), I made the biggest purchase of the warmest puffy jacket evah, I crunched the crunchy leaves on the ground, I went ice skating at the Frog Pond in the Commons, I listened to good live music and drank pumpkin beer! Most of all I've enjoyed the company of wonderful friends, family and coworkers. Living near my cousin twins is the best because I'm in constant giggle fits--it's just what we do. 


It's fun to think about being in Chile last year and where I'll be located next year. There is a lot to learn from everywhere you go and everyone you meet..lucky for me to have such variety as it is the spice of life after all! This year I am thankful as always for my family who continue to make me laugh endlessly and keep me warm. As the holidays quickly approach I want to remind myself to be kind and tolerant, to take good care of myself and others and to continue to learn. 

Indians and Pilgrims!

If you don't like mini pumpkin and red velvet cupcakes we probably can't be friends.

I love my mom and we love breakfast.

tartine

Having a craving for this bread. Tartine is one of my all time favorite bakeries in San Francisco. Thinking about making a leaven and starting a loaf.  Mostly cause I want to make some grilled cheeses with figs (to be honest).

happy halloween(ie)

Growing up I loved Halloween because of the amazing parties my parents hosted--we watched spooky movies and trick-o-treated to our hearts desires which measures to about one pillow case full of candy. I remember feeling happy and exhausted. Plus I always had matching costumes with my dear friend Caitlin (usually of the princess variety). As I've gotten older the novelty of Halloween has worn off but this year was surprisingly perfect.  

Saturday morning was my roommate Becca's birthday and we celebrated by having a brunch feast. We made baked brie with cranberry sauce and apples, crepes with nutella and bananas, Spanish tortilla omelette, bacon, coffee, apple cider champagne cocktails and carrot cake.

Aren't my roommates the cutest?

The anime and heart pumpkins Rachel and I carved.

Rachel the Sushi and Me the French Sailor! 

This week my mama is coming to visit and I'm so excited! Happy Halloween everyone!

dearest dears

(Taken during a walk around my work)

Hello there from Boston! Even though I've been on hiatus from blogging in the midst of my move from Los Angeles I hope to continue to document the changes some insights while exploring yet another change of locale. I've been spending time with family, working at two museums here in the  city, enjoying my new roommates and lovely new neighborhood (Somerville). My favorite part about fall here is the gorgeous leaves changing colors. I can't help but stop and collect all the yellows, reds and orangey ones during my walks around the city.

my sister

I just got a package from my sister for my birthday filled with the most delicious brownies everrrrrr. I love her so much I can't even tell you. She makes me laugh the hardest and love the most. This series of pictures was taken after we had a fit of giggles and she fell off my bed into a nook. She was stuck upside for a good 10 minutes before I could help her out.

i found my thrill on blueberry hill

We took a little day trip to Limerick, Maine on Sunday to go blueberry picking. We went to Libby and Sons you pick farm. It took awhile to get there with a few detours but it was so worth it! We ate a delicious blueberry donut and of course tons and tons of bluebs! So fun!
