Weekending Around Boston


Hello there friends!! Back at it after a fun, but quick weekend! Spring still hasn’t sprung here yet…but we’re getting there and that makes me happy! 


It’s been a while since I shared a sushi snapshot, but in case you all think I’m not eating it EVERY single Friday, you’d be wrong! 🙂 




We had a pretty lazy Saturday which included pure barre, a burger run to Walburgers where we had a run in with one of the the brother’s Paul, a Target run & a lazy walk back through the city. You might have seen some of the restaurant if you follow me on Snapchat (@blovedboston) 


Saturday night we headed out to one of Boston’s best kept secrets – Trident Booksellers…they actually have a pretty fantastic restaurant and are known for their brunch, which we’ll be back for! We were upstairs for a little banquet and then made our way to my favorite lounge in Boston – City Bar.


 Best bellini in Boston! 


On Sunday, Jackie & I were lucky enough to attend the Brides of Distinction brunch at the Omni Parker House.


A parade of 16 different cakes & designs, beautiful gowns & fun at the photo booth were just a few highlights of the day! Getting to mingle with vendors & meet some blushing brides is my idea of a perfect Sunday! 

I tried a new recipe out for dinner & forgot to snap a photo, but the Honey Garlic Shrimpwas really tasty and so easy to make! I added a side of caprese salad and brown rice – filling and delicious! Capped the weekend off with some photos & lots of planning!! 

How was your weekend? Link up below to share your weekends with us & hope you have a great start to your week!

    I've never been to Boston but whenever I see photos of the city and remember all of the cool restaurants there I think it would make a fun getaway! I'm from NS so I've always though it would be cool to visit during December when the Christmas tree is on display!

And we also really wanted to go to the Liberty Hotel for drinks one night but never made it there either– this post just made me think of that! I hated planning my own wedding, but all of your snaps– and all of those pics from the bridal show looked like it was so much fun! I was swooning over the cakes and dresses. Looks like you guys had a fun weekend overall 🙂
