As I mentioned the other day, I have been bitten by the travel bug or perhaps I was born with it (the more likely story). In any case, I love Fall in New England so I don’t like to travel too far and one of my favourite places to go when there is a chill…

Travel to Toronto: Hôtel Le Germain Maple Leaf Square
Toronto isn’t my city. My city is Boston and when I talk about “the city” I mean NYC. On the other hand, Toronto is the city I grew up with. It was the place we drove a little over an hour to visit family and friends for special occasions or planned a trip to for…
Father’s Day: Mood Board
Why is it that all the father’s day cards are terrible?! My husband complained about the selection at CVS, and I struggled to find anything good at Target. I bet Olives and Grace has some hip cards and maybe Paper Source’s selection was better. In any case I found one and we’ll make some too….

Spring Break: Should I Stay or Should I Go?
Spring Break in New England is a bit of a dilemma. It is when the flowers start blooming. The weather is great and you just want to stay put to enjoy spring’s début. On the other hand, it is a full week with no school for the kids and if you’re lucky you can take…
Boston Hotel Spotlight: Element Seaport
Finding a hotel in any metropolitan city can be a little mind boggling. There are the posh hotels downtown that risk being party central, budget busting, or just too close to the hustle and bustle to be conducive to a good night’s sleep. There are the hotels that claim to be in the city but,…
Appy Hour: Taking Steps Forward with Xfinity and More
(Sponsored by Xfinity) –This weekend, we dropped a cell phone in the snow. My daughter and I trekked back out and retraced our steps. The snow blowing everywhere made it hard to see and I didn’t have much hope of finding anything. After searching a while, we gave up and came back in. A while…

Crew Edition: Weekend Guide
This weekend is the world famous Head of the Charles Regatta. It should be a perfect weekend for it, unlike that one year when it rained so hard they actually had to cancel it. The scenery is just at it’s prime with the beautiful leaves. Take a walk away from the Charles and for a…

Like a Piss in the Sea
We all have good days and bad days. What I try to remind my children (and myself) is that it is okay to feel it. Feel your tears, feel your anger, feel your frustration, and feel your joy. While you’re feeling all the feels though, your next responsibility is to deliberately act upon them…
