It’s hard to conjure your inner goddess. Actually, it’s hard to conjure your inner anything after another whirlwind Saturday morning of soccer, a fourth-grade Mars project and not nearly enough coffee. Who has time to be a goddess, or even a go-go girl when life grabs at you with its messy little fingers, always wanting more?
There is a trick, and it’s fail proof. You need to find the right environment. For me, as for most overworked, overly cerebral women, lace usually works. So do yummy smells, sexy satins, and soft lighting (and savory snacks). So what could be more perfect than a trip to Great Barrington Bra and Girl? I’m serious, what could be more

A History LessonNichole Dupont,
01:20PM / Saturday, September 18, 2010 | |
We ventured out into town on a Friday afternoon. We meaning me and my children (Anna, 9 and Lucian, almost 7). Town meaning Great Barrington, which can be brutal on a Friday afternoon. But, I promised them ice cream and “something special” before the sun set on the week. Of course, I wasn’t sure what that something special was going to be, but, as always, we found it with no problem.
The ice cream actually wasn’t ice cream at all. It was gelato. Good, cheap gelato from Alex Café in the “hallway” on Main Street. For $2 a scoop (a generous scoop at that) we were treated to the heavenly rich flavors of coconut, coffee, vanilla and some rich, dark

I keep ending up on these impromptu adventures all around the Berkshires. Maybe it’s the gorgeous weather that Earl brought, or that it’s the full moon. No matter. Saturday my travels took me all the way up to Chester (which is quite a haul from Sheffield) to the Keystone Arch Bridges Trail. It was here that the first keystone arch bridges in the U.S. were built. The bridges, which were built in 1841, range from 50 feet to 100 feet and provided railroad access over the Westfield River. At the time of their construction, they were called the “railroad to the moon.”
And I can see why. The hiking trail that 0 Comments

Don't Overlook the ViewNichole Dupont,

I spent this last weekend with our gorgeous brother and sister mountains in the North Country; the Adirondacks. We stayed with a friend at her granddaddy’s cabin (accessible only by boat) on Saranac Lake. It was gorgeous. Every day there was fishing in crystal lakes, hiking in cool, monumental forests, napping in a hammock as the loons called to the sun. The mist on the water provided an eerie morning scene while blue herons seamlessly scooped up fish and young eagles hovered over our canoe. Needless to say, it was a rich landscape and I was hard-pressed to leave it.
On the return trip, as we slowly made our way south and got into Berkshire territory, I felt a
