Generally — and here is where I am going to sound like a snob — I am not all that impressed whenever publications come out with “Boston’s Best” lists because, well, let’s be honest: it’s generally the same places and faces that make it every time. I’m not saying anything…

Continue reading →: sewing :: first baby dress
For my birthday this year, my super thoughtful husband shopped from my Amazon wish list (have you made one yet? You should check out their universal registry button. Awesome.) and bought this Lotta Jansdotter book of patterns for me. I added it to my wish list the minute we found…

This may look like an ordinary cake, and that’s just one of the many things I love about it. You see, it’s anything but ordinary. It’s extraordinary. It’s a fabulous creation. It was what held the secret of whether we are having a baby boy or baby girl. I hear…

The nice thing about spending your Saturday cleaning up the house to the pre-renovation stage means being able to treat yourself to something good on Sunday. In this case, I got my wish after murmuring on the couch Saturday night, “I am craving pancakes and bacon.” And lucky for me,…

Continue reading →: area four (cambridge)
I heard (and read somewhere, Facebook? Twitter?) that Michael Leviton was opening a new place near Kendall Square called Area Four. It’s kind of a two-part restaurant that does coffee and baked goods in the morning, and then a bar and oven in the evening. It’s aptly named after its…
