The Arboretum

The Arboretum is one of the best kept secrets in Boston. Derek & I got married there in October of 2008, so it's a very special spot for us!




We were way past due for bringing Silas and Zoe to this beautiful place, so today we threw on the backpacks and set out on an adventure after nap!

When we initially parked and started walking around I was getting the lay of the land and felt more comfortable hanging onto the "tails" of the backpacks.

 

After we walked a little while and were safely within the confines of limitless green space, the kids ran free.






The best part about the Arboretum for Zoe and Silas are all the dogs! Because I was alone with them, I too busy facilitating doggy-toddler interactions and wasn't able to get any pictures with the dogs, but here is one shot of some nice ladies and their puppy as Silas walked away,


We stopped to take a load off and snack on some blueberries,





And then we were off again and VERY happy with all the puppies around!!


It was a fantastic day exploring one of our favorite spots. I look forward to many more hours running around The Arboretum this summer!

We convinced him that he should start out by drafting content and a posting calendar. We made templates this morning and he wrote his first "post" today!

Food Prep

We recently bought a house and moved about 20 miles outside of Boston. One of the changes that came along with a new commute and work schedule is that I have started making dinner for the kids every night, instead of just Friday-Sunday (Julia, our wonderful long-time nanny, historically fed them dinner Monday-Thursday). Derek and I still have opposite work schedules, which means that I have the kids without him 5-6 nights/week. In order to make healthy meals AND pack lunches while flying solo, at a minimum I need to have a well-stocked fridge and basic menu plan for the week. Even better is when I can get some cooking and/or food prep done on Sunday. Before I go to the gym on Sunday mornings I usually peruse some recipes in search of culinary inspiration. Today I came across a recipe that caught my eye on Budget Bytes . I was planning on hitting Trader Joe's after the gym, so I picked up the frozen roasted corn that is the cornerstone of this recipe. The first part of my foo...

The context for this post is that S&Z started two weeks of daily swimming lessons in the outdoor town pool on Monday. The beginning of this week also happened to start with two of the coldest days of the summer!
