It just takes a little bit

February 3, 2016

So I woke up this morning, feeling tired and little bit under the weather. The thought of exercise was the last thing on my mind. But, a little bit of guilt took over. So I decided to pull out a Leslie Sansone Walking DVD to do. This is an easy walking workout and it only […]

Dodging the snow bullet

January 27, 2016

So I live in New England. So we get snow in New England. Last year we broke a record for snowfall; we got something like 108 inches total. There was a blizzard warning for this past weekend and let’s just say us New Englanders were having deja vu about snow. Well, instead of this: We […]

Cookies!

January 20, 2016

So I’m not much of a cook or a baker. Let’s just say that this goes way back, starting when my best friend Lisa and I attempted to make pretzels from a recipe in Seventeen Magazine. The end result? See below. In all fairness, Seventeen Magazine posted a revised recipe the next month, explaining the […]

My latest obsession – Fitbit

January 13, 2016

My favorite Christmas present was a Fitbit. I got the simplest model, the Fitbit Zip, but it suits me just fine. Of course, who am I kidding, eventually I will be getting the fancier models that even track your sleep. Note the cute little smiley face on the display. If the Fitbit is happy, then […]

A walk through my hometown

January 6, 2016

I love to walk and part of my morning routine is a walk through my town. Even when I walk the same route, there is always something new and interesting to see. I thought I would share some of the sights with you. These pictures are taken with my little smartphone. We have a small […]

Christmas vacation week

December 30, 2015

I decided to do something a bit different this year. I decided to view the week between Christmas and New Year’s a real vacation. I used to love this week off when I was in school; you had the time to enjoy the Christmas presents and time to look forward to the New Year. We […]

Wishing you a joyous Christmas

December 23, 2015

In the spirit of Christmas, I thought you would enjoy this gingerbread house. It is a rendition of a local farm stand. Isn’t it cool? There are 8 Santa Clauses gathered in this piece. So far, I was only able to find 4 of them. I think the other 4 are hidden inside. I am […]

A walk through Cambridge

December 16, 2015

One of the many reasons that I love what I am doing right now is that I get to travel frequently to Cambridge, my favorite city in Massachusetts. I take the train into South Station, Boston and then I walk all the way to Harvard Square. It takes me about 90 minutes. I thought you […]

Nostalgic Christmas

December 9, 2015

I was over at my Mom’s house this past week, like I am every day. She gets a lot of catalogs. Since I had some time to kill, I started looking through the Vermont Country Store catalog. This brought me back in time for a number of reasons. First of all, Mr. Ken and I […]

There is always a way

December 2, 2015

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. And no, it’s not because of the food, but because of the emphasis on being thankful and being around family and friends. I am always reflective now too, since I have such happy memories of spending Thanksgiving with my Dad’s side of the family. They lived in Plymouth, which is […]
