Still trying to get my calendar to be a bit more streamlined. Here is a more complete albeit late update to this week’s calendar of events.

PIN: Pencil it in this week(end)
Tis the season of excess, from spending to indulging, but my favourite kind of excess is overloading the calendar with so many wonderful holiday, community, seasonal events. It is fun if you don’t try to have your cake and eat it too. Choose the ones you want to go to and (if you have young…

In case you missed Part 1 of 3, begin at the beginning with 30 Days of Comfort and Joy: Boston Dining. I’m a fan of oysters, my father is a fan of oysters, my daughter is a fan of oysters and many of my friends are oyster lovers as well. As residents of the coast…
Oysters in Boston and Beyond: Dining Out
I love oysters. My daughter loves oysters and we recently became members of the Oyster Century Club. We don’t really need any incentive to go out and eat oysters, but it is fun trying to diversify our oyster slurping habits. Often my daughter and I will feel the need for a spontaneous oyster night out. …

Home Sweet Home is going to get you out of your home next weekend. Not one more Saturday night at home folding laundry will do. Ditch the laundry and fold it together as a family Saturday or Sunday morning with some good tunes on Pandora, a post laundry brunch at home or out (check out…
PIN: Pencil It In
Initially I wanted this series of posts to be “Save the date”, but on second thought I wasn’t so sure that STD was the best acronym for all things fun and fabulous going on around town. This is a quick series of posts that I hope to do weekly but I know sometimes it will…
Cupcake Camp: One Day, Many Cupcakes
School just got out and already we’re starting with: A little math, a little reading, a little writing, and a whole lot of fun. Why? Because we ‘re heading to Cupcake Camp! It is not exactly camp but it is a day of cupcake tasting, from classic to innovative, with amateurs (that would be us)…
