Chaletmomma

As we all know there are many different types of designs for Websites and Blogs but, my concept for Chaletmomma never wavered - what you see here (minus some tweaks) is the fruition of that dream. One detail that remains extremely important to me was sharing a list of people/sites I admire, support and who support me! You can see them in my sidebar.

I believe in working to lift others up - and knowing what a vast place the interweb is - when I find talent or anything else for that matter I’m excited about - I am compelled to share it.

I joke that like the Ally Sheedy’s character in The Breakfast Club I must dump out my purse and share it’s contents… So friends this week I’m sharing all the Brands We Love with links!

Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy!

Some of these companies are run by very dear friends; while there are a few larger operations. Artsy found me after I wrote a piece which included artist William Eggleston. I love their site!

“Inspiration: a divine influence or action on a person believed to qualify him or her to receive and communicate sacred revelation” Merriam-Webster

Til next time I hope you’ve found some Inspiration! xoxo

Here we are in August - the time of year we always vacationed when I was a kiddo. Which got me thinking about a summer long ago - my folks rented a lovely little shingled bungalow with a private beach for a few weeks in Dennisport, MA - which started me on this piece. Let’s take a look at some of these lovely gems.

“shingle: a small thin piece of building material often with one end thicker than the other for laying in overlapping rows as a covering for the roof or sides of a building ”

— Merriam - Webster

This is my Grandparents church Sacred Heart in Bay Head NJ, so pretty.

There are two vastly different beach towns that my family love. Ocean City, NJ with its Board Walk- filled with rides and yummy treats from Shrivers Candy Store and Manco & Manco Pizza and the beatific Chatham, MA located on the elbow of Cape Cod with it’s pretty shoreline and delightful downtown filled with shops and eateries.

Steven and I celebrated our 10th Wedding Anniversary with a stay at Chatham Bars Inn.

This sweet cottage above once belonged to my Mother-In-Law Marge and her husband Jack. The home below we rented with good friends on Main Street, Chatham in 2006.
