The family (minus Emily who was manning the store) went on a cruise around the Nantucket harbor last week. The Westmoor has a beautiful boat, named Belle, that charters cocktail cruises during the summer and we love to hop on board whenever we can! We had some fun snapping some shots from our cruise around the harbor… Take a look!
What an amazing way to see the island we love! Thank you to the Westmoor and Captain Scott (and Crew) for a lovely evening on the boat!
I am in love with this recipe!! I came across it in the Food Network magazine and knew I needed to try it. I made it the other night for one of our Ott Hollister family dinners… and it was a hit!
This recipe truly is a delicious and easy recipe perfect for any summer night! You could serve it over pasta or gather around, family style, and eat it straight from the tin foil (like we did)! Be sure to serve with yummy, crusty bread so that you can soak up the amazing broth. Can’t wait to make them again! Scroll down through the pictures to get to the recipe.
A few weeks ago, the three of us were asked to be on the Sirius XM radio show in New York City called Wake Up With Taylor! We were so giddy that Taylor invited us of all people onto her show (she does interview celebrities after all!!). So, we knew there was no way we were going to pass up this opportunity! We booked our flights as soon as we could and decided to extend our stay just a little bit so that we could make a trip out of it.
We spent two days in the Big Apple and had so much fun exploring. We have each been to NYC plenty of times, but none of us ever get sick of that “concrete jungle where dreams are made of!” There are so many places to discover and restaurants to try…and we were also excited for a little bit of real world mainland adventures. Like going to a pharmacy that has everything you need and all kinds of brands (unlike an island pharmacy) and getting a mani/pedi for the first time in months. Oh and couch shopping for Emily!
Here are some pictures from our first day if you’d like to see…
^^We LOVED our hotel’s look…black and white everywhere including the doorman’s converse!
^^This graffiti wall matched perfectly with Emily’s outfit and Dannijo necklace (available at Milly & Grace)!
^^Pretzel Time!! If you follow Caroline on twitter, you know, that while Allie and Emily were most excited about going to a pharmacy and getting mani/pedis, Caroline was most excited to get a pretzel! #MainlandAdeventures
^^The flatiron area is one of our absolute favorite places to wander and explore!
^^ It’s hard to order a couch when you live on Nantucket because you can’t just drop into the store to test it out! So we headed over to Restoration Hardware to sit on every couch they had! And we were successful…Emily has finally decided on a couch she wants! Yay! She’s really a grown up now. (Note: the one in the picture is not the one she chose, but it’s similar)
^^We ate so much yummy food on our trip. The first restaurant we went to was called Jack’s Wife Freda where we had the most delicious chicken. It was all really delicious actually…but the chicken was especially tasty! We heard brunch is even better there! We definitely want to go back on our next trip! Cute spot.
Stay tuned for more pictures and a video that Caroline is currently putting together!
