4th of July in Boston

By -
I know I'm a little late, but I have to write about our first Independence Day in Boston! I wish I could say it was more eventful, but we were both so busy and just took the weekend off. Doesn't mean it wasn't fun though! 

Since we both had Friday off, we headed downtown to the Red Sox vs. Astros game. And of course we were all decked out in our Sox gear :) We grabbed dinner at a whole-in-the-wall Mexican place and it was delicious! We both got burritos and they were HUGE!

After dinner we went over to Fenway. While we were waiting in line, we saw a ton of Navy Seals parachuting down into the stadium with American Flags attached to their chutes. It was in honor of Independence Day and it was awesome! We met up with some friends who had tickets right next to us. Great company, great weather, great night.


On Saturday, Shawn had to study and I had to do Etsy orders. Fun huh?! That night we took a break and had a BBQ then went to see a movie. On the way to the theater we saw three different firework shows! Who needs to go wait hours to get a "good" spot, when you can see them from all around you?? We saw San Andreas and really liked it. It was extremely intense, but definitely worth seeing!


It was nice to just have a relaxing weekend and enjoy time together since we had to move the next weekend! Happy {Belated} Birthday America!

June was a CRAZY month for us! My family came out for eight days and then Shawn's parents and friends came out for about five days. Oh, and we managed to squeeze a super fun camping trip in between those visits! We love having visitors, it makes us feel less lonely and far away from everyone! And we love showing people around Boston! My parents and two little sisters came out here the first week of June and we had so much fun! We did everything...and I mean EVERYTHING! We crammed a lot into the eight days they were here. The first day we took it easy and laid low since they got in really late the night before. We went and checked out the Harvard campus, had some shawarma , then went and saw Wonder Woman (such a good movie!) in 3D at the huge IMAX screen inside Jordan's Furniture. If anyone hasn't been there, you really should check it out ! They have the newest technology for sound...there are sound boxes above you, in front of you, behind you, on the sides of you, AND

Happy Friday! Isn't summer the best?! The sunshine, laying by the pool, days at the beach, cruises, vacations...it's perfect! Just like I did this spring, I've put together some items to help you build the perfect summer capsule wardrobe! Whether you have fun summer vacays planned or just need to freshen up your closet, I'm sure that these capsule pieces will inspire everyone!  The whole point of a capsule wardrobe is to put together a handful of staple pieces from each clothing category that can be mixed and matched to form a wardrobe of multiple outfits. The pieces should all be complimentary in color, pattern, style, etc. So let's get started!  First up, the basics! The best way to start building your capsule wardrobe is with some simple tees. I tend to choose tees that are neutral in color; some solid some with subtle texture. This way they go with more items and outfits! (Tip: make sure one of them is a plain white tee because they literall
