Over the holiday break, my college student was home, getting herself ready for the upcoming (now in progress) spring semester. She invested in an Apple Pencil, and used it with her iPad and the app Good Notes. She had mentioned that she wanted to start bullet journaling, but needed the pencil for school, and so,…
Happy New Year! As is common this time of year, blog posts abound where wannabe bloggers such as myself write a post that indicates that said blogger will be more prolific in the new year, write more, do more, whatever goals they may have. Every year, I try not to write a post like this…
It’s really interesting to me to see where things go and from where they came. I have another sleepy blog called Food Loves Company and I accidentally stumbled on it the other day. It was a joint collaboration and I reached out to my friend Angela who thought it might be a good idea, or…

I began wondering if there truly is a VIABLE low-stress work option; one that won’t leave me destitute, and telling my kids they can…
This past week, time stood still for the City of Boston, and surrounding towns. Suburbia watched, glued to televisions, as police, SWAT, FBI, and heaven knows what other law enforcement teams, executed a manhunt not seen, ever. The sheer cost involved is a mind bender. While this went on, the populace of Eastern Mass was…
The other day, I went to lunch at a little market with the best salad bar. I’m not usually a healthy eater, but I’m trying to eat healthier. So when I’m in the mood to be healthy, this is one of the places I have a tendency to go. As I was leaving, I was…
