I take full responsibility for jinxing all of New England when I recently wrote about how it was starting to feel like Spring here. Clearly my eagerness for a new and warmer season angered some higher power that somehow controls the weather, because it has been snowing on and off for about a week now- […]
February might be the shortest month out of the year- but it is certainly one of the mightiest and most memorable- especially here in the Northeast where we typically get unpredictable weather, fluctuating high/low temperatures and the occasional glimpses into the Springtime in-between Valentine’s Day and the end of the regular football season. There’s a […]
The Monday between a Super Bowl and Valentine’s Day is, in a word- brutal. Many of us are still recovering from a late night of nachos and chicken wings and know that in just a few short hours we’re going to be putting on our reds or pinks and diving into date nights or overpriced […]

January represents a new beginning and endless possibilities […]
My calendar/planner for the month of January has always been consistently packed year after year with parties, post-holiday dinners and gift exchanges, birthdays, etc., etc.- and 2023 is no exception! I’ve been going non-stop on the weekends in-between working my full-time and part-time jobs, going to the gym, and shoveling my way out of a […]
