Discovering Coastal Magic

White poppies at Sakonnet Garden, Little Compton.

What happens when a family of four (plus one weenie dog) decides to move from the Boston suburbs to the Rhode Island coast?

They find paradise!

After a year of turmoil, high anxiety, grief and loss, our family packed 25 years of Boston life into a moving truck, and started fresh in Tiverton, Rhode Island.

Every morning when I wake up I am so grateful to live in this beautiful place.

Tiverton is charming, our property is a sanctuary of mature trees and wandering deer, winter sunsets are stunning, spring flowers are surreal, and the local beach and marsh--just a short drive away--is the most peaceful, lovely place. 

Here are some favorite spots...

Spring daffodils on Fogland Road, Tiverton.

Boardwalk at Claire D. McIntosh Wildlife Refuge, Bristol.

🌿 RI COASTAL TIP: Blithewold Gardens (Bristol, RI) are magical and offer the perfect walk in all seasons. It's also a good option for kids...not too long or difficult, and you're treated to a water view at the end.
