With the holiday season fast approaching, I thought I would recap some fun winter activities, including a trip to the Ice Castles in New Hampshire.

November 27, 2024 Gingerbread Houses at The Langham Hotel

Last year, we had so much fun making gingerbread houses at the Langham Hotel in Boston. Led by pastry chef Kerry Levesque, children design their own houses while also indulging in a candy and hot chocolate bar and maybe even get a chance to see the big man himself! When you walk in you are […]

We have been driving past Ziggy and Sons Donuts for years now and the timing has never been right to stop in. So one day we figured we would make the trip to Salem just to try out the food. Salem might be a place harder to find parking than the city of Boston! We […]

October 9, 2019 (Family) Road Trip: Mystic, CT and Greenport, Long Island

Sponsored Post: I worked with Cross Sound Ferry, who graciously gifted us round trip travel tickets. As always, all opinions are my own. I had been wanting to take the kids to the Mystic Aquarium all summer, and we finally went last weekend. We couldn’t have asked for better weather all weekend. So we piled […]

December 31, 2018 Afternoon at Chestnut Hill Farm

I love fall festivals – and we spent a fun day at Chestnut Hill Farm in Southborough. The afternoon was filled with tractor rides, great live music, pumpkin carving and painting and of course, lots of good food. The chocolate pie (bottom right) was an exceptional dessert – and I picked it up while the […]

December 13, 2018 The Local

Sometimes I find our options for restaurants in suburbia limited, we do like The Local every once in a while, even if it is a little on the pricier side. I am a fan of the bowls on their menu, my latest craving is the spicy Hong Kong noodles, but without the spice (yup, spice […]

We met Leah up in Burlington and grabbed a bite to eat at Redstone American Grill. She had been there for a holiday party and we were curious to see what the regular menu had to offer. They are a scratch kitchen and allergy friendly. We decided to do a lot of appetizers so we […]
