Hi, I’M MEG.

I live in West Hartford, CT with my husband Chris and our baby girl Nell. We love classic American style and bickering about whose turn it is to unload the dishwasher. Glad you stopped by!

Goose Rocks Cooler

Hi all! I feels so good to be back with a new post! Honestly it's rained almost every day this spring which has left me uninspired + without many opportunities to shoot. Thankfully we were blessed with the most perfect possible weather when we headed to Kennebunkport for a much-needed weekend with our friends from Stamford. Our dear friend Leigh has a family home that we stay at on Goose Rocks Beach, my favorite beach in Maine.

I whipped up this cocktail on our trip as my contribution to the Grenville Society Summer Series and it's a new household favorite. If you aren't familiar with Grenville Society check them out - they make the gorgeous pineapple corkscrew that you see in my instagram stories all of the time! Also, Grenville's founder Vija is a total #girlboss making her dreams come true - I love supporting her and her business in any way I can and it's been so awesome seeing them grow so fast! Click here to pick up a corkscrew (now in a gorgeous rose gold color as well!) for yourself.
