Things to do this weekend in Boston
As much as I like to lead my family along on my weekend agenda, they are all grown-up enough now to have their own! So this year, my daughter was the one who decided that we are going yet again to The Nutcracker at Boston Ballet. We were lucky to be invited to the Opening …

While my favorite New England season is summer, fall comes very close second. With an ever time-consuming summer pass time (the beach!) no longer factoring into our weekends, there is time to appreciate many other outdoor celebrations in New England – within a short drive from Boston. Here is what’s on our TO DO list …
For recent Mother’s Day Sunday we headed to a nearby Bristol, Rhode Island for an AFTERNOON TEA (not to be confused with HIGH TEA- you will find out the difference if you watch our VLOG).

As a family, we try to take advantage of Boston’s world class cultural attractions every chance we get.

So we put together …

We spend a family summer weekend in the Massachusetts Berkshires every year but we haven’t had a chance for a couple’s romantic weekend in the Berkshires weekend in a long time. So we aimed to make the very best of our 24 hours in Lenox last weekend! Here is how it all unraveled. ROMANTIC NIGHT IN …

Here is my best of summer Open Air Events in and around Boston (many are free to the public). 1.

For me, attending Boston Ballet’s performances is not only about admiring one of the leading and oldest American ballet companies, but also about spending time with my loved ones. I carefully “plan” my Boston Ballet season by choosing which family member I will invite on which ballet outing with me. I shared Romeo & Juliet with …

Whether you are an applicant or a parent of a high-schooler, chances are – college application process is something you both may want to forget soon. College road trips on the other hand could leave a lot of positive family memories. Although this concept was foreign to me in the beginning of the process, I …
I love it when Boston Ballet has two rotating productions for us to enjoy (and appreciate versatility of the dancers!) This spring we are treated to the Parts In Suite mixed program of contemporary choreography and the full-length classic of Romeo & Juliet (music by Sergei Prokofiev, choreography by John Cranko); both ballets are running …
