Halloween is generally not a time when people get all romantic and sentimental. Except for me and Dr. G. It was 12 years ago (almost to the day), that we met at a Halloween costume party in Boston. I was dressed as a hippie (after scoring some fantastic pieces at the Garment District in Cambridge) […]

A Day in the Life of a Busy Momma
This month, Healthy Living Blogs‘ Healthy Tuesday Feature focus is “A Day in the Life,” in which several HLB members chronicle an entire day, from that annoying morning alarm to bedtime. Other HLB members can also play along and we’ll link up our posts today. I thought this could be a fun (and potentially eye-opening) […]

By now, the pink ribbon (which celebrates its 20th birthday this year!) […]
New Food Monday: Full of Falafel
As I mentioned last week, I am only going to dedicate entire posts to New Food Monday if they are a resounding success. Which means – you guessed it – we found a winner last night! It was nothing fancy. We cooked these bad boys up. Then we put out plates with warmed pitas, crumbled […]
Meal Plan: Week of October 22
I am going to come right and out say say it: this is not going to be an easy week for sticking to our meal plan (part of Laura and Jill‘s Meal Planning Challenge for October.) As we get deeper into the school year, our calendar just seems to fill up more and more, and when I sat […]
