Since moving back CK and I have started to slowly work out a new New England daily routine again. This generally involves setting the alarm for 7:00 AM, then turning it off for another 30 minutes and going back to sleep instead of getting up and going to the gym. Then by the time I […]

Who knew four hours could fly by so quickly?! I just got home from the most fabulous cooking class at Create-a-Cook.

I’m sure you’re more than aware of how much I love the classes at Create-a-Cook as I rave about them regularly. Last week when I received their newsletter announcing their latest offerings I squealed in delight (for real…ask my officemate) over the fact that they were hosting a child’s tea party inspired by the upcoming […]

As I type this it’s currently 86 horrible degrees in Boston. Yesterday was similarly unbearable for what is generally speaking a very mild time of year in New England. This sudden heat wave essentially put me over the edge and I found myself beyond irate that I had moved into a loft without central air, […]
