Faneuil Hall officially lit its Christmas tree on Saturday, November 20th…a little bit early to kick off the Christmas season, but I love lights and celebrations so it’s all good. I happened to be wandering around the North End around 4:30 pm on Saturday afternoon and realized there was only 1 hour until the tree [...]

While we were out and about, running errands and buying dog food, Jared was inspired.  He wanted to make meatballs for dinner. I bowed out, claiming Wednesday’s cut on my finger was still too gross to do any real cooking.  Jared was really looking forward to a pasta dinner so he volunteered to do all [...]

Lucini contacted me a few weeks ago and asked if I’d be interested in sampling their products.  Olive oil, sauces, vinaigrettes?  Where do I sign up?!?! I’ve been a fan of the Mediterranean Diet for some time now.  Lucini‘s products fit perfectly into my eating philosophy. There’s nothing like a freshly baked loaf of Italian [...]

For me, healthy living is about appreciating the simple things in life.  Some days are too busy and I get caught up in everything I have/need/want to do. But I appreciate keeping it simple.  So that’s exactly what I did today! I slept late.  Then I stayed in bed some more.  Snoozing, “meditating,” talking on [...]

It’s been a crazy summer.  While it’s been tons of fun, I’m SO glad that things are calming down and I get can back to “normal.” And “normal” apparently includes trying to prevent Miles from peeing on my flowers.  I’m doing a good job, huh? I need to tend to my tiny Marigolds that are [...]

Over the course of our 2 night trip, I… fell in love with a bottle of Chianti went to a wedding strolled through Perkins Cove learned some valuable photography skills went running along the Marginal Way danced the chicken dance pretended to fight my [...]

Oh, the dog days of summer.  Yesterday was HOT! A real scorcher! I didn’t think Miles was going to survive our walk to the Copley Square Farmers Market. After I woke up yesterday morning, I decided to do another 10 minute workout.  This time I opted for a lower body routine.  Using only my body [...]

I had a bowl of Peanut Butter Puffins for breakfast. At first I was disappointed that I had forgotten to buy milk at the grocery store.  Until I realized I had almond milk in the back of the fridge!  Tasted the same to me and lasts a lot longer than a gallon of regular milk! [...]

There was lots of color in my diet today.  Absolutely necessary after yesterday’s monochromatic menu. (My post title is also a nod to Walt Disney because as of today’s count, there are 76 days until my Disney vacation!  77 days until the Wine & Dine Half Marathon!) I made of oatmeal using the last of [...]

After my haircut yesterday, I took advantage of the beautiful day and shopped my way down Newbury Street.  Then I wandered back down the Comm Ave Mall and snapped some photos. Women’s Statue on the Comm Ave Mall. I grabbed lunch from b. good.  I ordered a chicken sandwich with tomato, avocado, and salsa.  I [...]
