  • Wet Cement? CHECK!

    Wet Cement? CHECK!

    I feel like it part of human nature to want to write in wet cement. Right? Ok, well I’ve always wanted to do it and so thats why I put it on my life list. I think I had probably recently seen this episode of The Office perhaps …  I have no desire to put…

  • Vineyard Bound

    Vineyard Bound

    I’m heading on a Martha’s Vineyard adventure tomorrow! I’ll be on the “island” until either Thursday or Friday – depending on whether the waitlist gods give us another day of relaxation … or make us leave. Cross your fingers for me! I’m really looking forward to hitting up some old favorites, while getting to a…

  • Amazon Purchase

    Kerrianne and I just ordered a few items from Amazon …. In the event you can’t tell, we ordered a cocktail shaker and a real muddler. For the majority of the summer – and let’s be honest spring, fall and winter …. – we’ve been using the back of a wooden spoon. Now, don’t get…

  • Pickles!

    Pickles!

    I have a few tasks on my “bucket” list of things I’d like to do before the summer is over – or perhaps just in general. The last few weeks I’ve been hitting up the local farmer’s markets with my Mom. There is one in North Scituate on Wednesdays and one in Cohasset Center on…

  • Flowers for me?

    Flowers for me?

    I was recently given flowers for no occasion… and it was awesome. It was not: – my birthday – a holiday – a party – a Friday or Saturday It was a Monday and I made dinner. I couldn’t believe it. Apparently, chivalry does still exist? A few notes: – My sister made the vase…

  • Groundhog Phil has nothing on me

    Groundhog Phil has nothing on me

    Tonight I went for a 3 mile run around the neighborhood instead of going to the gym. I feel really lucky each morning that I get to watch the sunrise here – and an evening run is certainly in that realm as well. I have begun to love running a lot more in the last…

  • Dear Life …

    Dear Life, You are awesome. Xoxo, Jen

  • Environmental Sustainability: Fail?

    Environmental Sustainability: Fail?

    “This bag is not only dangerous, this thing is so freaking loud…” I saw an article on the cover of my WSJ this morning and was intrigued enough that I pulled up the article on my ole Macbook. The article is pretty interesting and really had some great user quotes about how people are reacting…

  • Surburban FourSquare

    Surburban FourSquare

    Perhaps you’ve heard about FourSquare?… and perhaps you’ve seen some news articles related promotions that “Venues” are giving to mayors? If not, read these articles to catch up. – What is FourSquare? – UK Dominos profit up 29% from social media efforts – Ann Taylor Mayors get 25% off in NYC Regardless. As a suburban…

  • Meal Inspiration

    Meal Inspiration

    Nearly a year ago, I went on a solo dinner in Princeton, NJ on my way back to my apartment from Philadelphia. I stopped at this restaurant called the Bluepoint Grill on a whim and had one of the most simple, yet delicious meals ever. It was awesome. To this day, I have dreamed of…
