The start of the month is always an exciting time, though I can’t believe we’re already in August. July has been a FULL month, with lots of family and lots of travel. First up, my sisters and I had a great time visiting Killington, Vermont in the summer months. It’s a popular ski resort, but … Read more

Boston has seen a lot of hot weather this week, so I’m grateful for the chance to get away to the Green Mountains of Vermont this weekend. My sisters and I had a long weekend together, just the three of us. It’s been ages since I’ve been away from my kids that long, and they’ve … Read more

I’ve been luxuriating in the company of my parents this week. We played trivia on Monday night as a family (and won first place!), I spent a spontaneous evening relaxing at their place on Tuesday night when I felt like I just needed a break, and we celebrated the fourth of July with grilling and … Read more
Sunday Morning Coffee: June 30, 2019
We’ve had a pretty full week to close out the month of June. My parents are in town, which means there are lots of get-togethers for dinner, and nights run later than we’re used to. It’s so much fun, but I notice the little bumps in the road when I get disconnected from my routines … Read more

It’s been pretty cold, gray week here in Boston, with most days overcast and drizzly. On my walk yesterday morning, I saw this garden full of brilliantly colored flowers, which was a breath of fresh air, even as it was lightly raining and 50 degrees.

It’s the first week of spring, the weather’s a bit warmer this weekend, and the first flowers of the season are peaking up out of the dirt in bursts of color. They’re few and far between, but they point to the green on the horizon. I also spent the week wrapping up some projects from … Read more

It feels like spring is just peeking around the corner. I’m making the most of the winter produce that’s left, and anticipating the abundance of the coming months. I’ve done lemon-poppyseed cake, a grapefruit loaf, and now I’ve got a pie cooling on the counter. I don’t know how I found the energy to put … Read more

Happy St. Patrick’s Day. This holiday used to be a much bigger deal to me back when I was at Boston College (duh… for many reasons), and David and I even got in the spirit by running the 5k race they hold in Southie. This year, though, not so much. I spent the day in … Read more
