Cinco de Mayo Recipe Ideas
Cinco de Mayo is this Sunday, May 5th – we’re having a little fiesta at our house Friday night in celebration (plus a friend is in town for the weekend!). While I’m putting my Cinco de Mayo menu together, I thought I’d share some recipes with you, here is a round-up of a few ofContinue reading “Cinco de Mayo Recipe Ideas”
Couple Things
SO glad it’s Friday. We had a pretty good week around here… I got to wear my favorite raincoat with a few rainy days this week. Z got to try out her tricycle with all the warm/sunny weather we had too and I got to wear my favorite espadrilles to the playground – weContinue reading “Couple Things”
What to Wear – Spring Weather
Spring weather cannot make up its mind, around here anyway. One day it’s warm enough for sandals and no jacket, the next day it’s freezing and mittens are necessary, and the third day it’s pouring buckets. How do you dress for such a varied climate? I have put together an outfit of pieces that willContinue reading “What to Wear – Spring Weather”
Homemade Butter
Do you know just how easy it is to make your own butter? EASY! You don’t even need one of those old fashioned butter churners or live on a farm.

One of the meals we made was this deliciously light and fresh Asian Salad with Salmon, we adapted the meal from a Martha Stewart recipe. This meal was greatContinue reading “Asian Salad with Salmon”
Couple Things…
What a week. I don’t have much else to say about what happened here in Boston earlier this week other than we are traumatized, praying for those affected and all the while trying to look on the bright side. We tried to maintain normalcy in our house all week for our Little Z even thoughContinue reading “Couple Things…”
The One Fund
So many have been asking how they can help those affected most by the Boston Marathon tragedy. On Tuesday, Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick and Boston Mayor Tom Menino announced the formation of The One Fund Boston, Inc. to raise money to support the victims of the attack.
What to Wear – Earth Day
Since Earth Day is next Monday, April 22nd, I thought I’d put an outfit together that is environmentally green – whether the items are made from recycled material and/or made in a green certified factory. It’s not an easy feat, even in these times, to know you’re buying something that hasn’t hurt the environment –Continue reading “What to Wear – Earth Day”
