365: Day 262- Friday Mornings are Glorious

9/20/13: Today is the 2nd week of preschool, which means it's the 2nd Friday morning that I've had off from work without the kids around. I can't believe I actually considered going back to work since they would be in school. What in the heck was I thinking?!

I had the entire morning to myself because Derek had an appointment and then met up with his parents who were at Dana Farber for Joanne's monthly treatment. After bringing the kids to school I headed to the gym. I set a new record on the elliptical, logging over 4 miles in 45 minutes!!


After the gym I had a pedicure, and then stopped at the grocery store to grab a few things to make a fun dinner with the kids tonight. I arrived for pick-up about 20 minutes early so I parked the car and walked over to Starbucks to get an iced coffee. All in all, an awesome morning (and a great exercise day according to my Fitbit summary!).


Otherwise it was a mellow day, as evidenced by realizing that I needed to snap the picture of the day in the bath before bed!

Silas' Blog

Well it's been a busy 3 years since I last posted! Stay tuned as we may have more posts coming now that it looks like I have a new contributor... Silas recently read a book called "Starting Your Own Blog", and now he is bound and determined for us to let him start his own blog! 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...

Auntie Tracy's Visit

Tracy is one of my best friends, but I haven't seen her in person in two years ! This means that I hadn't met her daughter, Brynn, who turns 2 in June. I was sooooooooo excited when I found out that Tracy and Brynn would be visiting Tracy's sister, Timery this weekend. We decided to meet at Mall Tots  again so that the kids could run around and we could catch up. It's a 45 minute drive and it was a beautiful day, so the kids were hunkered down with sunglasses, snack and stuffed animals on the ride up. Zoe and Brynn initially got acquainted in the bouncy house, And then Zoe pushed her around in a car.   Of course my kids (and husband!) had plenty of distraction with the video games too. We packed up the kids and then had lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings before heading back home. Timery and Tracy are like sisters to me. What a fantastic day!!!
