It's a Wicked Good Time: A Weekend in Boston

Boston has become one of our favorite Destination Date cities — full of history, incredible food, and endless walking. From cozy historic hotels and unforgettable Italian meals to cannoli debates, the Freedom Trail, hockey at TD Garden, and late-night pastry runs, this guide rounds up our favorite places to stay, eat, and explore. If you’re planning a romantic weekend (or just love a good city itinerary), Boston delivers every time.

Last year took us places I never could have planned on my own. ✈️🤍
.
Some trips were loud and fast and full of adrenaline. Some were slow, quiet, and exactly what our souls needed. Some were just Justin and me, chasing connection. Some were all of us, making core memories with the kids in tow.
.
Eighteen a + destinations later, what stands out most isn’t the miles or the map pins — it’s the togetherness. The conversations. The reminders that rest, wonder, and shared experiences matter just as much as the work we put in back home.
.
Travel looks glamorous on a highlight reel, but for us it’s always been about perspective. Stepping outside routine. Coming back a little fuller. A little more grateful.
.
Here’s to wherever this year takes us — near or far.
.
✨ Tell me: which place from last year surprised you the most… or where are you hoping to go next?

Merry Christmas, friend.
.
Today we slow down, take a breath, and remember what all of this is actually about — not the wrapping paper, not the checklist, not the matching pajamas or the perfect photo.
.
It’s about Jesus, the Savior who came quietly, humbly, and completely on purpose. A King born in a manger, so you and I would never have to walk through life alone.
.
I’m grateful for the gifts we can hold, but even more for the Hope we can’t see but feel deep in our bones. For family gathered close, for memories we’re still making, for the laughter and the tears, and for grace that keeps meeting us right where we are.
.
If today is loud and full — soak it in. If today is quiet and tender — let peace settle over you.
Whatever this year has held, Christ is the constant who never stops coming close.
.
Merry Christmas.
May the joy of Jesus fill your home and steady your heart today and every day after.

Seventeen years ago, on a Friday at 4:30 pm, we had absolutely no idea what we were signing up for.
.
What we didn’t know:
• how much life we’d build
• how many hard seasons we’d walk through
• how much laughter would come from the ordinary days
• how choosing each other—over and over—would become the foundation of everything else
.
It hasn’t always been roses and unicorns. But at the end of every day, I choose him. Every time.
.
Justin, you’re my very best friend, my steady, my safe place, and the best thing that’s ever happened to me. I hope you’d say it’s been even better than you imagined—because it has been for me.
.
I love you, baby. Let’s do this for a few more years.
.
Tell me—what’s one thing marriage has taught you (or what you hope it will someday)?

Some traditions never get old ✨
.
Every year, we make our way to the Canton lights — the same streets, the same glow, the same small-town magic. Even as our family grew and seasons change, this one stays the same… and that’s kind of the point.
.
It’s simple. It’s cozy. It’s the kind of Christmas tradition that reminds you to slow down, bundle up, and just be together.
.
If you’re local (or close enough for a short drive), consider this your sign — the Canton festivities are happening for a few more nights and are absolutely worth it.
.
👉 Check out @cantontourism for all the details and dates. And, if you have a tradition that anchors your holidays, tell me about it in the comments. I love hearing what others hold onto this time of year. 🎄✨

You don’t have to choose between loving fashion
and living a real, hands-on, full life.
.
You can care about what you wear while feeding animals, raising kids, traveling, hosting friends, and doing the work God’s called you to do.
.
I curate pieces that:
• feel effortless but polished
• mix comfort with confidence
• move with you through real life
• and don’t require overthinking
.
If you’ve been looking for someone who gets both sides of you - the practical and the polished - hi. I’ve noticed you too. 😉
.
Drop a 💫 in the comments or send me a DM if you want to shop with someone who styles for real life — not just the highlight reel.

I’ve been waiting years for this moment.
.
Yesterday, all three of my kids sat down at the piano and played their first trio together at our annual Cookies & Carols recital. Watching them do something hard together — listening, adjusting, trusting one another — was one of those quiet parent moments that sticks forever.
.
@ruth_keyes_pianist pours her heart into these kids. She loves them, challenges them, and believes in them like they’re her own. And it shows. This wasn’t just a performance — it was the result of months of practice, patience, and teamwork.
.
Homeschooling gets a lot of questions, but days like this remind me why we chose it. Group projects look a little different around here… sometimes they end in Christmas music and happy tears. 🎄🎹
.
Swipe to see their solos and duet too — every bit of it made my mama heart proud.
.
What’s a Christmas tradition you’ve been quietly hoping for with your kids? I’d love to hear it 🤍

Some days, life feels a lot like walking uphill in goat-sized steps…
.
steady, stubborn, and louder than necessary. 🐐💥
.
But here’s the truth: nothing worth doing is easy, and the good stuff? It usually requires showing up when you’re tired, uncertain, or halfway convinced you’re doing it wrong.
.
Do it anyway.
Start before you’re “ready.”
Keep going when the shine wears off.
And trust that future you is already proud. 🤍
.
Tell me below — what’s one thing you’re doing right now that’s hard… but worth it? Let’s encourage each other today. 💬✨

Friendships look different for horse girls.
.
Some kids run with the crowd. Mine? She runs with her horses… and honestly, it fits her better.
.
This kind of trust doesn’t happen overnight. It’s earned in quiet moments, brushed out in the barn aisle, whispered into manes, and lived in the in-between.
.
Cherry standing over her like this? That’s a bond built with patience, respect, and a love that’s entirely theirs.
.
Not everyone will understand it—and that’s okay. I’ve told my kids for years that we’re a little different. Now they’re starting to see it… and, beautifully, they’re settling right into who they are.
.
If you’re raising a kid who doesn’t quite fit the “regular” mold, you’re in good company here. Join my village.

Fun fact: chickens are tiny, feathered cannibals… and honestly? They’re thriving.
.
Yep — our girls got the Christmas turkey carcass, and let me tell you… they went to town. Chickens are omnivores, which means they’ll happily snack on things you’d never expect.
Think:
• Meat scraps (yes, really)
• Leftover bones
• Yogurt
• Scrambled eggs (I KNOW 🙈)
• Bugs, lizards, mice — basically anything that doesn’t outrun them
.
And the bonus? The extra protein is GREAT for them, especially during molting season or colder weather when laying can slow down. A little boost goes a long way in keeping those eggs coming and feathers shiny.
.
Life on a hobby farm: where you learn quickly that nature has zero chill. 😂
.
👉 Follow along for the real, the ridiculous, and the surprisingly educational side of farm life.

Here’s your sign to call your friends and plan a cake-decorating night.
.
Food, friends, and cake — honestly, what more do we need?
.
Skip the presents this year and gift your people with your presence. Good conversation is food for the soul, and gathering shouldn’t feel like another thing on the to-do list.
.
I saw this idea early last month, sent it to a few of my girls, locked in a cake baker @marysmorsels23 , and that was that. We spent the evening decorating, laughing, and soaking in the kind of easy yes that reminds you why community matters.
.
Because these simple moments? They’re the ones that carry us.
.
Thinking about hosting one? Tell me your theme or tag a friend you want at your table.

Another Smith family Christmas in the books — and honestly, I can’t remember a single year of my life when we haven’t gathered.
.
It’s loud, it’s a little chaotic, it’s always an adventure… and it’s one of the only times I get those “Smith-special” dishes I wait all year for. 😂
.
But here’s the truth: family isn’t always easy. Personalities, history, expectations … it can all make showing up feel harder than staying home. Still, show up anyway.
.
Because you never know when a moment becomes a memory. You never know when it’s the last time someone is able to take their seat at the table. And you never regret choosing to love the family God placed in your life.
.
So this season, take “showing up” seriously. Show up imperfectly. Show up with grace. Show up because presence matters more than perfection.
.
If your family gatherings are beautifully messy too, tell me one thing you always look forward to dish, tradition, or person.

If you’ve been side-eyeing the return of light-wash denim this winter… consider this your sign to jump in. ✨
.
The Venice Jean is having a moment — and honestly, it’s earned it. Comfortable, effortless, and surprisingly season-friendly, it’s the pair you’ll reach for more than you think.
.
Here’s how I’m wearing mine:
➡️ Errands & everyday: Venice Jean + Chill Jacket + Charlie Tee — laid back, easy, done.
➡️ Brunch with the girls: Sweater Jacket + Boho Blouse + Twinkle Belt — chic without trying.
➡️ Holiday lunch: Venice Jean + Silhouette Blouse — polished with zero fuss.
.
Big takeaway? This season is about wearing what you love… and loving what you wear. And light wash denim is 100% invited. 😉
.
✨ Want help finding your perfect pair or seeing more ways to style the Venice Jean?
Send me a DM and let’s shop your closet together.

Some friendships are just… inevitable.
.
Like Mia + Rosebud — two very different little souls who somehow became inseparable. They groom each other, wait for each other, worry about each other… and honestly, they’re surviving farm life because they have each other.
.
And isn’t that how God wired us too?
To need people.
To belong somewhere.
To be known by someone.
.
We weren’t designed to exist alone — not in the busy, not in the quiet, not in the holiday hustle of too much to do and not enough time to do it.
.
So as your calendar fills up this season, protect your time but also make room for the people who bring peace to your soul. Investing in those relationships doesn’t drain you — it strengthens you. It strengthens them. It keeps us all standing.
.

Some friendships are just… inevitable.
.
Like Mia + Rosebud — two very different little souls who somehow became inseparable. They groom each other, wait for each other, worry about each other… and honestly, they’re surviving farm life because they have each other.
.
And isn’t that how God wired us too?
To need people.
To belong somewhere.
To be known by someone.
.
We weren’t designed to exist alone — not in the busy, not in the quiet, not in the holiday hustle of too much to do and not enough time to do it.
.
So as your calendar fills up this season, protect your time but also make room for the people who bring peace to your soul. Investing in those relationships doesn’t drain you — it strengthens you. It strengthens them. It keeps us all standing.
.
Tell me — who’s your “Mia + Rosebud” in this season? Tag them below so they know they matter. 🖤

This year, we decided to do things a little differently.
.
Instead of Justin and me doing all the decision making, we handed some of the responsibility to the kids.
.
They were allocated a set amount and given a challenge:
-The ministry had to be local
-They had to be doing GREAT work—not just “good” work
-And they had to research, prepare a presentation, and make the case for why our family should support them. What they came back with was thoughtful, wise, and honestly humbling. Here are the ministries they chose:

✨ @madcaapms : Madison Countians Allied Against Poverty has been serving families for over 35 years. They provide food, education, emergency assistance, and support to break cycles of poverty right here at home. A quiet ministry doing deeply impactful work.

✨ @baptistchildrensvillage : A Christ-centered organization providing safe homes, counseling, and support for children and families in crisis. They focus on restoration, healing, and building strong futures with love and dignity.

✨ @quiet_waters_ms : A ministry committed to serving people living with disability. Their goal? To provide respite, restoration, and gospel-centered support for individuals and families who often bear heavy burdens.
.
And if you’re looking for other meaningful places to give, here are a few very worthy ministries we love:
- @lifesongfororphans — Supporting adoption, foster care, and vulnerable children around the world
- @hoc_orphancareministry — Coming alongside adoptive and foster families to provide financial
assistance and social support
- @mightyacorns — Fighting poverty and trafficking by providing shelter, education, mentorship, and hope to vulnerable children in Kenya
.
This Giving Tuesday, I hope you’ll join us — whether it’s $5 or $500, whether it’s local or global, whether it’s through prayer, service, or financial support. Generosity changes families. It changes communities. It changed us.
.
If you need ideas or want to know more about any of these ministries, I’m happy to share — just send me a message. 🤍

We thought we were getting “just a dog.”
.
But Melody became a best friend to our kids, Lyric’s partner in play, and exactly the joy Justin needed.
.
If you’ve been on the fence… this is your sign.

Tell me about the pet who changed your family. ❤️

Every. Single. Time.
.
It’s always the same story, the same dramatic retelling, the same “the horse just took off!” energy.
.
Meanwhile the horse was probably doing the equine equivalent of an eye-roll.

Your turn. What sentence gives someone away in your world?

An outfit isn’t truly finished without that third piece…

Today’s meeting of the Cow Committee is now in session.
.
Agenda items include:
🐮 Why the humans are late again
🐮 Snack rations (insufficient)
🐮 And whether we’ve earned the right to chew cud judgmentally (yes, always)
.
These two take their supervisory roles VERY seriously.
.
If the Cow Committee reviewed your performance today… what would the report say?

Thankful looks different every year… but this season it looks a lot like remembering the faithfulness of Christ in every chapter.
.
Grateful for the people He’s placed in our lives, the animals who keep our days lively, the work that keeps our hands steady, and the quiet moments where His goodness shows up in ways we didn’t even know to ask for.
.
If you’re reading this, I’m thankful for you too — and for the way God weaves community into our everyday.
.
What’s one thing God has shown you to be grateful for today?

You’ve been struggling to juggle all the things…
.
and somehow you landed on a page where we’re doing all the things at once.
.
Animals, fashion, chores, styling, mud, glam —
it’s a whole lifestyle and honestly? It works.
.
Around here we embrace the chaos, make it cute, and try to keep the animals from eating the clothing rack.
.
No promises on that last one.
.
If you love a little farm frenzy mixed with style inspo, stick around — it only gets better from here.

When anxiety starts whispering worst-case scenarios, sometimes the best thing you can do is step outside and let something simple remind you to breathe.
.
The way the wind moves through these mums?
That’s your cue to loosen your shoulders… unclench your jaw… and let your body catch up to the moment you’re actually in.
.
A little pause goes a long way. 🌬️
.
If you needed this tiny moment of calm today, follow along — I share plenty more. And tell me in the comments: what helps you reset when anxiety hits?

Brunch at 11, holiday party at 7…
.
and somehow this outfit understood the assignment for both. ✨
.
The Vintage Cardigan pulls double duty as the most elegant top (that asymmetrical embroidery is everything),the Stevie Crop give you that faux-leather edge, and the Twinkle Belt adds just enough sparkle to make it all feel intentional.
.
Swap the shoe and you’ve got an effortless day-to-night chic that never tries too hard.
.
If you want more easy outfit formulas that make getting dressed fun again, DM me to join my client group — I’ve got all the holiday styling covered.

You think I’m hard to impress…
.
but hand me a freshly dragged arena with those perfect, crisp lines and suddenly I’m out here swooning over organized dirt.
.
It’s the simple things, truly. And by “simple,” I mean absolutely immaculate ground work that makes riding feel like a dream.
.
If you get it, you get it. Drop a 🐎 if a freshly dragged arena makes your whole day… and follow along for more farm + horse life chaos and charm.

If you’ve ever wondered what life with Nigerian Dwarf and African Pygmy goats is like… allow me to introduce you to Willy and Nilly, our resident snack-powered comedians.
.
A few fun facts:
• What were they developed for?
Nigerian Dwarfs were originally bred for high-butterfat milk, while Pygmy goats were developed as compact, hardy farm companions (and accidental professional troublemakers).
• Life span:
With good care, both breeds can live 12–15 years — long enough to perfect their “I refuse to come when called” routine.
• Favorite foods:
Goat truth: they don’t actually eat everything.
Their real love language is hay, leaves, weeds, and anything you didn’t offer them.
• Special considerations:
Small goats still need secure fencing, regular hoof trims, minerals, and parasite management… plus humans with a high tolerance for shenanigans.
.
Around here, they earn their keep by making us laugh and pretending rules don’t apply to them.
.
Goat people — tell me your best small-goat chaos story. I know you’ve got one.

It never fails.
.
I start listing the animals and someone inevitably leans in with the whisper-level curiosity of a true crime podcast:
“So…do you eat them?”
.
Absolutely not.
Around here, the only things getting consumed are chicken eggs and my patience when someone asks that question again.
.
These aren’t entrée options — they’re family.
They’re the chaos crew that greets us, entertains us, worries us, and fills our days with more joy (and mud) than we ever expected.
.
If you want more farm truth, animal antics, and zero recipes, stick around.

Some stories take years to write… and some take a whole childhood.
.
Jayden recently entered a poem about her horse, Hope, in the ASPC Giddy Up and Rhyme Poetry Contest… and she won. 🥹✨
.
If you know their story, you know this wasn’t just a poem. It was a love letter written by a girl who grew up alongside a legend.
.
Hope is a 22-year-old Miniature Horse who has earned more national titles than we could list in a single post — a true show-ring extraordinaire. My family brought her home when she was just 2… and Jayden has never known life without her.
.
She started showing Hope at age four.
And somewhere between tiny leadline classes and championship laps, they created a bond that’s as deep as it is rare. Hope will sometimes respond to Jayden before she’ll even do it for Mom. (And honestly? We don’t blame her. 😉)
.
Watching them grow up together — one becoming a horsewoman and the other gracefully stepping into her golden years — has been one of the sweetest privileges of our farm life.
.
And now, Jayden has honored that journey with words that captured exactly who Hope is to her.
I couldn’t be prouder of either of them.
.
👉 Keep scrolling to read her winning poem.
.
Tell me — do you have an animal who shaped your childhood or your heart? I’d love to hear your story in the comments.

Cold weather called, and I answered in style. ❄️
.
First up—the Leopard 🐆 Coat: faux fur, fully lined, and finished with stretch cuffs that mean cozy comfort without sacrificing chic. Then there’s the Camden 🧡 Coat: it looks like wool (but isn’t), is fully lined, and gives total walk-away-wow with its statement color and showstopper buttons.
.
These two are proof that staying warm doesn’t mean blending in. 😉
.
✨ Which coat would you reach for first?

I’mma be… living my best version of “normal.”
.
A little farm.
A little fashion.
A whole lot of fabulous chaos.
.
The animals do their thing, I do mine — and somehow it all works.
