I’m supposed to be writing about father’s day, or at least that is the post I had planned, but something horrible is happening and as a croissant lover, I feel I need to do something. Let us begin with this simple equation: a croissant + a donut = nothing at all unless this is perhaps…

Pride: Boston Pride
Today, Saturday June 8th, is Boston’s Gay Pride parade. It is an event the my children’s old school attends every year and it is something that is significant to many of my friends and community. I have been to many gay pride all school meetings but I don’t think I’ve ever been to the parade….
Donut Day: It is a national holiday
These days, every day is a special holiday of some sort, and it kind of drives me crazy. But since it is a cold rainy, cozy day and the Boston area has so many great donut spots I just couldn’t resist guiding you to some of my favorites. Sofra is the place to go if…
Summer Clothing: Navy, Stripes, and Polos
There is something about summer that makes me pick a style and stick to it. When I was younger, summer was time to bring out the hippie chick in me. I sought out the long flowing skirts, a touch of tie dye and the leather sandals (although perhaps vegan would have been more appropriate) that…

Heartbreaking way to start Spring Break: Now What?
On the calendar it says, ‘Vacation week’. It was going to be a week of lazy mornings and fun spontaneous outings staying in town. I usually love to stay home because the weather is nice and it’s the first days that feel like Spring in New England. After the bombings at the 117th Boston Marathon,…
OhBabyBoston’s Spring Egg Cream Smoothie
When I thought about the smoothie I wanted to make, I knew I wanted dairy free, a little seasonal, it had to be pretty, and I wanted some greens. Love Beets juice caught my eye and I knew it would be perfect to make my smoothie pretty. I chose rhubarb for seasonal because I didn’t…
Spring Smoothies: Getting Creative
Smoothies were a daily thing in our house for a while because it was one of the few things my daughter would eat as a toddler. But time passed, morning routines changed, the blender from our wedding registry lost its zip, and vigour. This week I had the opportunity to gather with a few friends…
Easter Bunnies Don’t Lay Eggs: Mystic Aquarium Animals Do
Every year at this time, as spring approaches, I am faced with two big questions: What exactly is the connection between bunnies and eggs? What on earth are we going to do for Spring Break? I love staying local for spring break because I love spring in New England. We often head to the beach…
