Today was a glorious and labor-free holiday for us. We went for a nice ride on the Minuteman trail, spent a few hours reading by the pool, then finished the day off with friends + dinner in the North End. I used the holiday as an excuse to avoid dollar shopping, but I do have a $1 purchase to share from our Saturday in Newburyport. I fell in love with Soufflés (a coffee shop and culinary store) the moment I laid eyes on the darling pink sign hanging from the picturesque brick storefront. The shop smelled like heaven, thanks to the coffee (red velvet hot cocoa! crème brûlée steamers!) and baked goods. I found all sorts of fun kitchen tools and gadgets to lust after, but only one item came home with me — a teeny tiny $1 whisk. Sometimes you need to whisk just one or two eggs, and who wants to use a giant whisk for a small task like that?

Sometimes I am jealous of your fun life. Did I ever not have kids and live like that???
