From its rich history to its kid-friendly attractions, Boston is the perfect destination for a family getaway, and staying at the Omni Parker House Hotel in downtown Boston was the cherry on top of our trip.

Happy Small Business Saturday! 'Tis the season to (if you can) spend your hard-earned cash by supporting small businesses that are trying to survive during a pandemic. Thus, I've created my top ten, made on Martha's Vineyard, foodie holiday gift guide. If you stock up on any of the items in this post, please let me know - your support to these small makers is huge to them. Every dollar spent goes towards their family, this community, and their passion. Every order helps their dreams come true. There are no affiliate links in the blog above either, and I don't get anything from sharing them. These are true love products - because I not only love the products, but the makers themselves are actual friends. Thank you for shopping this small business Saturday post!

I'm a morning person, please don't hate me for it. Yes, I've become that 35 year old that can wake up at 5:30am and do laundry (quietly), write three blog posts, and schedule client work, while the world sleeps. For that reason, breakfast is one of my favorite meals because it allows me to start the day in a delicious and tasty way. Today, I'm sharing one of my absolute favorite breakfast spots in town, Katama General Store!

In a world where takeout is now king, I thought it would be useful to showcase some of the most delicious takeout I've had on island up until now. Where to Order Takeout on Martha's Vineyard is not a full list of every restaurant offering takeout, but a list of the takeout orders my husband and I have consumed. For a full list of what island businesses are doing takeout and delivery, please head over to any of the local newspapers, as they tend to be up to date. Also note, come June 8th with Phase 2 of the reopening of Massachusetts, these offerings might change to reflect outdoor dining being available as well as many more restaurants opening back up. Please contact the restaurant directly for the latest information.
