About Me

My name is Lori. I'm a wife to a hard working husband and a mother to two amazing girls - ages 7 and 1. I'm also a school counselor for students in grades pre-k through 8. We live in the Boston area and spend our days doing everything we can to make it to the next day. Let me explain...

Life can be chaotic! I am reminded of this daily. The hours of each day fly by. I wake up in the morning, get through the daily routine, and before I know it, the sun is setting. I've been trying to remind myself to not get so caught up in the chaos or worrying about yesterday or tomorrow, but treasuring each minute as it comes along. I've been trying to remind myself regularly to enjoy each moment; to take time for today.

There are a few things I focus on to help bring more order to our family. They take a little bit of time and effort but have been totally worth it. For the most part, these are the things I blog about... fun things to do, yummy things to eat, and living frugally. This blog began as a way for me to keep myself organized. I wanted to get all of the things I loved under one roof so that I could access them easily! I quickly realized that not only could I catalog these things for myself, but I could offer them to you too!

So within the pages of my blog you'll find our favorite things to eat, our favorite things to do, our favorite places to go, our favorite brands, and our favorite ways to save money. Basically, if it's something we love, and I've gotten myself organized enough to write it down, it's here!
