schranks say thanks! this year we hosted our very first thanksgiving and it was a success! it was a little bit stressful getting everything clean and organized, prepping the dishes, figuring out the timing on the day, and just hosting a large group in general, but we learned a lot and will have some improvements for next year. i started planning and prepping about a week out and i definitely recommend that. tony and i made a lot of the items, but all of our guests brought an item or two and it ...

boston!
we recently got back from boston and it has become one of our very favorite cities. i am obsessed with colonial houses (and new england buildings in general). tony is a total u.s. history buff. we both really love food (cannoli anyone?). needless to say, boston pretty much hit it out of the park (pun intended, we did go to fenway. more on that later). we spent the bulk of our first day in boston walking the freedom trail. the freedom trail is a few mile long brick path through boston that has ...
