Kayaking in Boothbay Harbor

My family has always been into outdoor activities and kayaking is no exception. Here are few memories from out kayaking experience in Boothbay Harbor, Maine. We sailed out to a small island with a beautiful view before coming back into the quaint little seaside town for lunch. The blueberry buckle at the streetside cafe was the best part. Would definitely recommend.

The blueberry buckle we had over lunch (gone in less than a minute).

Sailing in Maine

As someone who has an unhealthy obsession with navy stripes and boat shoes, it's surprising that I've never gone sailing before. But today, I had the opportunity to check off my bucket list the item that was long overdue. My family and I took an introduction to sailing lesson, spending 4 hours on a windy boat. It was a ton of fun! Also more complicated than you would think. But the best part was definitely the up-close view of the classic Maine shore.

Park City, Canyons

To no ones surprise, my family's spring break trip this year was yet another ski vacation. This time we visited Park City in Utah. Despite being one of the most well-known resorts, this was only our first time skiing. But definitely not the last. For its great combination of challenging terrain, diverse restaurants, and good shopping, Park City/Canyons lands a spot in my top 5 favorite ski resorts.

By far my favorite run and view from the Canons side of the resort. We were especially lucky to have skied there on the beautiful sunny day. If you look closely, you can see my brother wiped out on the side.

What's a ski vacation without the classic family picture?

Nothing like a warm frothy drink to finish a long ski day. This small coffee shop on the side of the mountain made delicious (and beautiful) cappuccinos.

On the first restaurants, we ate at and definitely my favorite over the whole trip. It was called Harvest and had a great assortment of healthy bowls, pastries, and specialty drinks. Next time I have to go back to try the golden milk.

My mom and I got the avocado toast. (Disclaimer, the one in the picture is hers because she chose to add bacon)

What I pack for Skiing

Some people absolutely hate packing and find it to be the most stressful part of travel. But for me, it's strangely uplifting. There's something about folding clothes neatly, packing toiletries into zip-lock bags, and choosing accessories to match every outfit that gives me immense joy. Rather than being exhausted, I get even more excited to travel. Since most (if not all) of my vacations are spent on snow-covered mountains, I thought I'd share what I take with me whenever I go skiing.

Navy Wrap Dress

With the weather reaching eighty degrees today, it looks like winter is finally coming to an end. I'm always sad to watch my favorite season go but luckily, there was a silver lining: getting to wear my one of my all-time favorite dresses!

Stationery Favorites

Is there an adjective that can describe the small thrill of opening a beautiful new agenda? Or the delight at the smoothness of your favorite pen as it glides across a page for the first time? Seeing the layers of unmarked paper signifying the new year, I always get giddy with the thought of filling them with colorful writing, sticky notes, and memories.

So for all of those who, like me, still prefer the pen and paper method in this digital world, I've rounded up my favorite stationery items that help keep my life (and desk) colorful and organized.

March To Do List

Can you believe we're already 3 months into the new year? I certainly can't. It seems like only yesterday I was writing down my New Years Resolutions plans. Speaking of which, it's often around this time of the year that we begin to settle into the routine of things, often times forgetting the goals and aspirations we committed ourselves to. So this month's To Do's are all about trying new things.
