It finally feels like winter in Boston. Time to trade the flip-flops for boots, and break out the pom-pom hats. A few things to check out if you’re staying in this weekend: Lisa Congdon’s new class on Creative Bug will give you 31 things to…

Today: Happy Weekend.
This was a short, fast week. We’re easing into a fall-ish routine… which means fun things like a new bootcamp session, apple picking, gymnastics class for Grace, morning walks at Castle Island and (dare I admit my excitement?) a new season of Scandal. Summer…

Today: Take 5 minutes and turn your day around.
You know when you’re feeling overwhelmed, overworked, overtired and overextended… but you’ve just got to slog through it, because you see a moment of reprieve on the horizon? That was me last week. I spent the first part of the week in Detroit and the…

Today: Easy paint projects.
You know that saying, A little goes a long way? That’s the theme today. Got a little paint leftover from a bigger project (say, that time your husband painted the nursery while you spent the day eating ice cream)? Or maybe you can’t bear to throw…
