So, this is the last week before my half-marathon. Last Thursday night, I accidentally looked up how far 13 miles is … and began to get anxious. This entire time I’ve been pretty laid back about the whole thing. Training schedule? What’s that about? I certainly have no idea. But, the last few days I’ve…
I’m a one man soup kitchen these days. It’s quite literally all I’ve been making … and it’s oddly addicting. I’ve been a fan of A Cozy Kitchen‘s blog for over a year now and seriously everything this woman makes is incredible. So last weekend it was oddly good timing that I had a…
standing at the edge of Boston Harbor I’ve always been “active” …. More or less that is. There have been spans of time when my gym shoes collected more dust than I care to admit, but all in… I would say that you could describe me as “active”. But, I think only recently you could…
A lifetime ago. I realize that a year is a long time but sometimes it truly feels like a lifetime ago. Last Valentine’s Day?Early morning train ride to NYC, worked late at the office, ate a room service cheese burger in bed. This year? Early morning run around Boston Harbor, visited the seals at the…
I have a few recipes that I need to document – but the last thing I’ve felt like doing recently is writing up witty commentary on chicken soup. Spoiler alert? It was awesome and I smelled like chicken soup in public. But, last night I came home from yoga ravenous. I was carb hunting in…
I’ve always found the morning light to be crazy beautiful … especially near the water. So, I guess it isn’t shocking that I loved how gorgeous Boston Harbor looked this morning. I consider it nature’s valentine card to me. Plans for the rest of Heart Day? Consuming heart shaped cookies and sisterly yoga. Not too…
Sometimes I feel like cooking and sometimes I feel like taking pictures. Other times, a recipe is so easy that it almost seems as though there isn’t time for either to happen. Bolognese sauce is definitely a case for this. I ended up making Bolognese sauce last week because I needed a meal that would do the…
Things that are not okay with me: (1) Bringing sick kids to the office. I mean really? Your kid is sick. Keep them at home, there is a reason your toddler isn’t wanted at daycare. It’s for the same reason that I don’t want them near me. (2) Not starting another pot of coffee. I saw…
I’m terrible at stretching. I’m not sure why because honestly there is nothing more satisfying than a good stretch after a nap or cozy moment on the couch. So why, oh why, do I refuse to stretch after running? Since we aren’t going to find the answer to that question now, we’ll just put that…
Yikes. How did it get to be February? I’m not totally sure. I did realize today that since today is the 5th that means my half-marathon is a mere three weeks away. I guess that means I should be booking a hotel room and perhaps planing some sort of outfit. Yep, that’s right. I said…
