The Better Way to Say Thank You

October 09, 2011

Right now I’m in the middle of the college application process. For those of you have been in my shoes, I’m sure you know that life is a flurry of essays, stress, and of course teacher recommendations. I’m lucky enough to have two really great teachers supporting me, so it only seems natural that I say thanks, right? Of course. And The Better Martha can never can show her gratitude with just a simple, “thank you.” Cookies and a personalized note are musts!

The Better Way to Devour a Book

September 01, 2011

Audible books are the most wonderful thing since individually sliced cheese. Anytime I am procrastinating, and there is a buildup of work that needs to be done, an audio book is the best way to get me moving. I know it sounds very lazy-American of me, but sometimes I just don’t want to hold an actual book and make my eyes scan across the page. If my room needs to be vacuumed or I need to organize my desk, I can consume a great book and get my chores done at the same time. It’s genius.

The Better Way to Do Cape Cod

July 26, 2011

This week I’m spending time with my best friend Olivia and her adorable family in Cape Cod. Yesterday was spent at this amazing beach where the tide pulls back so far you can walk for miles in the sand that was covered by the ocean hours ago. Here are some pictures.
