Exploring Bloc 11 Cafe in Somerville MA

Bloc 11 (sister cafe to Diesel Cafe and Forge Baking Co) is a wonderful spot for breakfast, lunch, coffee, open mic, and a constantly rotating show of local artists in Somerville MA (in Union Square). The menu is versatile and delicious and the staff are warm and friendly. Bloc 11 resides in an old bank- so there is a LOT to explore once you're inside...you can even sit inside an old vault to enjoy your food and drink!

Animal Adventures in Bolton MA

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of visiting Animal Adventures to meet their animals and explore the facilities. There are so many cute and interesting species to see. I would highly recommend visiting them for a 1/2 day adventure, or children's birthday party! Here are some of my favorite photos:


Taken from their website: Animal Adventures is New England's largest privately owned animal rescue center of its kind! We have been operating in Bolton, Massachusetts since 1997. We are a rescue center first. We take in hundreds of unwanted or unable to be cared for animals each year. Some we are able to find homes for and other will live here the rest of their lives. We have zero state or federal funding and are 100% self sufficient. We are state and USDA licensed to keep all of our animals.

Laura and Nick's Sunrise Boston Engagement Session

We met in the dark, just before sunrise, on the bridge in the Boston Public Garden. Nick had proposed to Laura beside this bridge, and as the sky turned a dark purple, we realized we had a perfect day. Over the next hour we explored the gardens as Boston lit up slowly, played a little football, and took a walk down Charles street and up into Beacon Hill. The whole time (even though it was 6:30am!) Laura and Nick were energetic, radiant, and so clearly in love. Congratulations Laura and Nick!
