The pie’s the limit on the Island for holiday treats. This year, there seems to be an amazing collection of local businesses offering their pies for your enjoyment over the holidays. Like the change in wine from white to red, the Fall brings a change from my love of cupcakes to pie. It’s sweet but a little more savory and natural t...

For Emily Coulter, owner of Morrice Florist, when her children witnessed the aftermath of a bombing in the Middle East, seeing their fear and terror, she realized that people needed to be reminded of all the good in the world. Sometimes the media is so focused on the negative stories, that good can be forgotten. The Kindness P...

Last year, my friend Kim asked me to write a blog about Vineyard Montessori’s Truckin’ MV event. At the time, I didn’t really know much about it so, I declined. Then I went to Truckin’ MV and was blown away by how much fun it was. Of course, most of the fun was geared towards to kiddos but as an adult (big kid myself), I had such ...

Though I was just at Not Your Sugar Mamas in August because of their new cafe opening in Vineyard Haven,  I am back. Not for another amazing and healthy chocolate treat or Dandelion Latte, but for lunch. Not Your Sugar Mamas recently began serving lunch at their organic cafe. Their kitchen I should mention is certified organic...

It was a beautiful Fall day on Martha’s Vineyard. A chill in the air, and the sight of 50 breweries and their creations all under one tent, stirred my soul. No, but seriously, you could immediately tell the Martha’s Vineyard Craft Beer Festival was going to be a success. I arrived to Washington Park in Oak Bluffs where the ev...

I love when I stumble across fun things on the Vineyard. The other day, I was leaving Healthy Additions in Vineyard Haven, and I saw Shepherd’s Provisions, where Nicky’s used to be. Of course I stopped, looked through every window I could, and decided this would be my next blog. On a rainy Monday morning, I met with Kira and John ...

I’m sure by now you’ve seen people wearing Legendary MV or Legendary Oak Bluffs t-shirts around the Island. If so, I am guessing that you, like me, was curious as to the shirts’ origin. Legendary was created by Jon Suber and his partner James Jennings. Jon’s wife, Miesha, handles a lot of the day to day operations of the biz. Luck...

Craft beer, a welcoming post and beam brewery in Edgartown, Island funny man, Johnny Showtime, and trivia. Put it all together and you’ve got the makings for a fun night out. Tuesdays in Edgartown are pretty exciting – between Dock Dances at the Memorial Wharf, and now trivia at Bad Martha, along with the great dining options stil...

Just in time for Labor Day weekend, the iconic Newes from America Pub, part of the Kelley House, located in the heart of Edgartown village reopened after being closed all summer. Unfortunately earlier in the year, the Newes had pipes that burst. The pipes, located under four feet of concrete, were not the only things in need up re...
