Savoring life in the Berkshires
Last week, Brian and I finally visited Charleston, South Carolina. We originally started planning a trip to Charleston in the spring of 2013, but then we found the home we’d go on to buy and vacation was put on pause. Five years later, my generous in-laws offered to watch E for a couple days at…
This post contains affiliate links. Thanks for supporting Relishments! It has been a packed summer so far. For the first time since school ended, I feel like I’ve gotten the chance to step back, look at the calendar, think about the rest of the summer and organize myself appropriately.

It took longer to get there than I wanted it to, but Brian and I finally found our way to Tyler and Pine Bakery this weekend. I’ve been hearing and reading and dreaming about stopping in for months – even purchasing items from the bakery at the Downtown Pittsfield Farmers Market this winter – but…
