As a PhD student in New England, I love waking up every morning to read your lovely posts. Your prose is readable, earnest, and so refreshing! And I appreciate that you never talk down to your reader; it’s as if you’re talking with them, in a casual conversation about the hum-drums (and exciting events!) of everyday life. My boyfriend and I are trying to live a healthier lifestyle, and even he requests recipes “from that one Carrots website”.

I am also a New England newbie (born and raised in California!), and I take note of all the fun New England events and traditions you partake in. (Like, apple-picking…..I’ve never seen anyone do that on the West Coast.) I am going to visit Newport soon! Thanks for the fun blog!
