Komen 3-Day, 60 mile, walk for Breast Cancer in Boston and this week I have been taking vacation from work, a MUCH needed break from the norm. I didn’t go anywhere special, just hanging out with my mom and spending some quality time with her. đ The walk one of the most liberating experiences of my life and it was one of the hottest weekends in Boston on record! I didn’t mind the heat though, I was there because I wanted to support those…

Lemon Glazed Blueberry Muffins
Good dreary Monday morning to you all! New England has a forecast of about 6 straight days of rain…I mean I know it is Spring and Mother Nature tends to like rain around this time of year, but 6 straight days of rain is just plain brutal. The only good part about it being so wet, cold, and rainy outside is that I get to stay inside any make lots of goodies. I know most people really hate rainy days and while I am not a huge fan; I can at least appreciate the down time to do things inside the house, like cook/bake! These muffins I made this weekend…
