1000 Islands Harbor Hotel: A Riverfront Retreat with Room to Breathe

October 9, 2024

As a travel-loving mom, I’m always on the lookout for hotels that offer both comfort and convenience. Recently, I had the pleasure of experiencing the 1000 Islands Harbor Hotel in Clayton, New York, and it truly exceeded my expectations. This waterfront haven provided the perfect blend of relaxation, stunning views, and – most importantly for this mama – a spacious bathroom with a separate vanity!

A Room with a View (and Ample Counter Space!)

Let’s be honest, as moms, we often sacrifice personal space for the sake of family travel. But at the 1000 Islands Harbor Hotel, I was delighted to find a room that catered to both my needs and my kids’.

The spacious bathroom, complete with a separate vanity area, was a game-changer. Finally, a place to spread out my makeup and get ready for the day without battling for counter space with tiny humans and their endless toiletries!

Beyond the bathroom bliss, our room offered breathtaking views of the St. Lawrence River. The balcony was the perfect spot to unwind with a cup of coffee while soaking in the serene waterfront scenery.

Delicious Dining with a View

The hotel’s on-site restaurant, The Seaway Grille, was another highlight of our stay. The menu boasts delicious dishes with fresh, local ingredients, and the waterfront views made for a truly memorable dining experience. Whether you’re craving a hearty breakfast, a light lunch, or a romantic dinner, The Seaway Grille is sure to satisfy.

Prime Location on the St. Lawrence River

The 1000 Islands Harbor Hotel’s location is simply unbeatable. Situated right on the St. Lawrence River, it offers easy access to all the attractions and activities that Clayton has to offer. We enjoyed leisurely strolls along the riverwalk, boat tours through the scenic Thousand Islands, and exploring the charming shops and restaurants in the village.

I’m Pregnant!

What it’s Like to Have a Miscarriage

Darlings, a little heart-to-heart for Mental Healt Darlings, a little heart-to-heart for Mental Health Awareness Month? My soul sighed relief for this reminder. 🌸

With my therapist, I shared my ‘grand plan’: track every minute to find more time...for more doing! (Life’s a whirlwind with school events, Arielle’s graduation, birthdays, a trip – you know the beautiful chaos!) Bless my ever-striving heart. 😂

Her kind revelation: what if that ‘extra’ time was a gift to myself? My mind yelled, ‘But how, darling?! So much to do!’, but my heart whispered, ‘Yes.’

This led me to reflect on 2022’s tender wounds: two silent heartbreaks, goodbyes that marked my soul. Then, learning the shadow I carried was PPD (yes, even without a baby home then – a shock). Our precious Aurora Rose, our rainbow, arrived like a sunbeam. I hoped she’d mend everything, but true healing, I’m learning, is a gentle pilgrimage inward, even amidst her joy. ✨

I see now my whirlwind of ‘doing’ was often a dance to avoid unprocessed grief & depression. My ADHD is part of my sparkle, but it also shielded a heart not yet ready to be still and feel.

So this May, I’m tenderly rewriting ‘self-care.’ It’s more than appointments; it’s nurturing my inner landscape: a joyful novel, a quiet coffee, the radical act of being. Understanding that asking for help is strength. Am I giving my loved ones my best, or just what’s left from an empty cup?

My heartfelt desire: be a joyful, present mother, a loving partner, and kind to myself. It’s not a quick-fix, my loves, but a gentle journey home to myself, one heartfelt step at a time.

What tender acts of self-kindness are you embracing this month? I’d be so honored to hear your heart on this.

Date night perfection in Boston! 🌃✨ Kicked Date night perfection in Boston! 🌃✨ 

Kicked off our evening with delicious Tacos Gobernador & innovative “Socktails” (genius!) at the new @democracybrewingboston 🌮🍹 before being completely swept away by the breathtaking Spring Experience at @bostonballet.

Three distinct ballets graced the stage, from the pure classical magic of Raymonda to the thought-provoking modernity of 27’52” and the striking elegance of Petite Mort. 

What an absolutely unforgettable immersion in art and beauty! Such a perfect way to spend an evening. ✨

Make sure to use my code, FASHIONKATE45 to get your tickets. Spring Experience is on stage until May 25!

Thank you, @bostonballet, for the magic!

Fashionably Yours,

✨ An evening of pure Gloucester gourmet delights ✨ An evening of pure Gloucester gourmet delights at the one and only @tonnogloucester! ✨ 

Kicking off our @discovergloucester staycation here was an absolute dream come true.

From the most COLOSSAL shrimp cocktail I’ve ever laid eyes on 🍤 to dreamy grilled swordfish, Alex’s heavenly Sunday Sauce that tasted like a hug from an Italian nonna, and even kid-approved spaghetti that got a ‘best ever’ rating from my little Arielle – every single dish was a showstopper! And that Tiramisu Martini? A perfect nightcap for this happy mama! 🍸

But beyond the incredible food (and trust me, darlings, it’s out-of-this-world!), the heart of Tonno’s truly shines with its warm, impeccable service. A huge, heartfelt shoutout to our server Tayia who was an absolute angel with our girls and made our dinner truly extra special! 💖 She even sent them home with coloring goodies for our hotel stay – how thoughtful is that?!

Mamas, you know how we search high and low for those special spots that feel like a sophisticated treat for us but also welcome our little adventurers with open arms? Tonno’s is IT! Perfectly upscale yet wonderfully kid-friendly – it’s our kind of paradise, and so hard to find! 🌟

If Gloucester is on your travel itinerary (or even if you’re a local looking for an exceptional meal!), Tonno’s is a MUST-DINE. Trust me on this one, and be sure to book that table in advance – this gem is popular for a reason!

A massive thank you to GM Joe and the entire team at @tonnogloucester for such a memorable evening, and especially to the lovely Tayia for making us feel like royalty!

➡️ What’s your go-to dish when you find a fantastic Italian spot? Let me know below! 👇

Fashionably Yours, 
Kate ❤️
