We visited the Mayan ruins at Tulum a few years ago, and our trusty tour guide assured us the world is not going to end this year. So there. No more worrying. Today marks the first and last time I will see 12/12/12 on the calendar,…

Today: A festive weekend in Boston.
With our Christmas tree up and decorated (and smelling like heaven), we celebrated quite a festive weekend in Boston. There is so much to see and do in ye olde Cradle of Liberty this time of year; we’re lucky it’s all just a walk (or…

Today: The honeymooners.
Nick and I are back from a blissful two weeks on Saint John. We snorkeled in the caves that (allegedly) inspired Treasure Island, took day trips that required passports, watched deer graze from our back deck, explored sugar mill ruins, and swam alongside sea turtles.…

Today: Down the road to #HLS12
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]Healthy Living Summit weekend is upon us! It didn’t occur to me that it was weird to be staying in a hotel that’s running distance from our condo until, well, yesterday. Though I could have saved some straight cash, homey (never gets old……

Today: Hello, August.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]Goodbye, July. Helloooooo, August. It’s amazing how quickly the summer passes, even when you’re a real, live adult and haven’t had a summer vacation in eight several years. June and July were just fine, but I’ve been looking forward to August for ages.…
