Shop: Kodak Custom iPhone Cases

When I got my iPhone (July 2010) I bought a hot pink case for it right there in the store. It's a bit of a snooze and for the past few weeks I have been looking for a more unique and stylish case.

Today I received an email from Kodak with a headline that read, "Express your style with all-new iPhone cases" and announced that you could create a custom case from your own photos! Well! I didn't even think of this!

Explore: Truro Vineyards

Yesterday morning after seven days of sunshine we woke up in Truro to rain. What to do on a rainy day on the Cape? Get your drink on!

In all seriousness, I had been wanting to visit the Truro Vineyards since we arrived in town. I was hoping to go on a tour (which they have daily at 1:00pm and 3:00pm) but since the weather had been so gorgeous all week we kept heading straight for the beach.

The rain thwarted my tour plans, but we did decided to go for a tasting which they have every half hour.

Celebrate: July 4th

Hello, readers! After a week long hiatus, I have returned to you. I am still on Cape Cod with my family, but realizing how many blog posts I planned to write and share with you, I decided I better get cracking!

For our family vacation we are spending 10 days in Truro. Truro is the second to last town before the end of the Cape (the last town is Provincetown). This is a great location because in addition to all that Truro has to offer, we are sandwiched between two vibrant towns - Wellfleet and Provincetown.

Movie Musings: Bad Teacher

After a major venting session over dinner last night, I desperately needed a laugh. I was supposed to spend the day today at the Let's Talk About Food Festival along the river, but when the rain ruined my intended plan, I wound up at the movies instead.

Explore: South End Garden Tour

A few weeks ago one of the restaurants I follow on Twitter, 28 Degrees, tweeted about the upcoming South End Garden Tour. I love the South End and I've always enjoyed admiring other people's beautiful homes and gardens, so I clicked. After a quick exploration of the event's website, I was convinced I had to experience this.

All week leading up to the tour the weather forecast for Saturday June 18th was for rain and thunderstorms. When I woke up yesterday morning the sun was shining and I couldn't have been more thrilled!

Listen: The Red States Cover "Rolling In The Deep"

It's no secret that I love British songstress Adele. As such, one of my favorite girls sent me this video of an a cappella group called The Red States covering "Rolling in the Deep." Even cooler? The friend who sent me the video was in the Wellesley College Tupelos with the lead vocalist for this number! Enjoy:

Summer TV: What To Watch

Recently several friends and co-workers have griped to me that now that summer is here there is nothing to watch on TV. While I agree, it is depressing that many of our favorite shows are on hiatus, I for one actually love summer TV! It's guilty pleasures, all the time. I come offering guidance. Get ready to set the DVR, below are my top picks:
