Sunday was a truly an amazing day! I took my mother and my boys who are three and a half years apart (ages 4 years, 10months and 14 months) to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. Our visit to this wonderful establishment was fantastic on so many levels and brought about so many first experiences. First, [...]
A few months back, I threw my sister a baby shower. I’m showing off this is the hand-sewn quilt I made for the Kid. Well, logic would follow that several months later, a little person has since emerged. So off I went to Boston to meet him for the first time. Bostonians are a loyal [...]
I love Sundays, but it was a wet Sunday yesterday and I was in no mood to cook. But when I saw those cute faces up from their naps, I could not afford to be lazy. So to make sure that I indulge my laziness (I am sure I am allowed that sometime) yet feed [...]

Family, friends and food…it doesn’t really get better than that! I had the pleasure of enjoying time with all three of them over Memorial Day weekend as my dear friends from college, Naomi and Freya (btw that’s Macalester College…holla’) traveled from New York City and Minnesota respectfully to see me and the fam.
