By far, my favorite part of my job is my students. They never cease to make me smile. But sometimes, my students and I really don’t get each other. I don’t understand their obsession with Mountain Dew (of all the sodas, really?) or their love of scary movies. Similarly, they can’t compute the fact that [...]
I love the Holiday Farmers’ Market and I’d been looking forward to yesterday for a long time. Did you miss out? Don’t worry, there are markets again on Saturday, December 17 in Williamstown and Great Barrington. They’re a great place to finish up your Christmas shopping (as of yesterday, mine is done!) and meet local [...]
Tomorrow, October 24 is Food Day in the United States. Hosted by the Center for Science in the Public Interest, Food Day hopes to encourage Americans and Congress to: Reduce diet-related disease by promoting safe, healthy foods Support sustainable farms & limit subsidies to big agribusiness Expand access to food and alleviate hunger Protect the [...]
Since graduating from college, I haven’t really cared about my birthday. This year, however, I was pretty excited about it for some unknown reason. My 27th birthday lived up to my excitement; it was a really good day. I also got perfect gifts (if this list doesn’t scream “blogger”, I’m not sure what does): [...]
In honor of my rapidly approaching birthday, Brian and I spent yesterday doing something that’s been on my list since we moved to western Massachusetts in 2009. We finally went to The Big E, the largest fair in New England. There were tons of people (over a million attended last year), but we had a [...]
I doubt there’s a person in the United States right now who isn’t aware of the impending doom that is Hurricane Irene. For those of us on the East Coast (and I’m in the Berkshires of Massachusetts, which really isn’t coast, folks), the past few days have been especially exciting. Yep, even 150 miles from [...]
When it was posted to the Healthy Living Summit website that Dawn Jackson Blatner was going to be the keynote speaker, I got really excited. Dawn’s book, The Flexitarian Diet: The Mostly Vegetarian Way to Lose Weight, Be Healthier, Prevent Disease, and Add Years to Your Life was one of the first books I read [...]
What can I say about this weekend’s Healthy Living Summit in Philadelphia when so much has already been said? I had fabulous roommates, Lauren, Krista, Kristin, myself reconnected with some of my favorite people from last year, Shannon, Freya, myself listened to Dawn Jackson Blatner speak twice (she was awesome!), went on a [...]
In just 28 days, I’ll be headed to Philadelphia to attended the Healthy Living Summit. I went last year, had an awesome time and am really looking forward to going again. A lot has changed since last August: I’m feeling more confident about Relishments and myself as a blogger. So, if you’re going to HLS [...]
I think I’m finally ready to admit it: I am a runner. I had so much fun in the Glenville/Schenectady 5K in Scotia, New York last Saturday that I think I am ready to get semi-serious about this. As you may recall, I got tricked into running/walking my first 5k in April. Since then I’ve [...]
