March Maple Madness
I love when the March maple madness events kick in; they're a great way to show kids that syrup comes from somewhere other than a grocery store aisle. This weekend you can enjoy: the Somerville Maple Syrup Project (Sat.), South Shore Natural Science Center Maple Festival (Sun.), Blue Hills Maple Sugar Days (Sat. & Sun.), Drumlin Farm Sap-to-Syrup Farmer’s Breakfast (Sat. & Sun.), and Ipswich Sugaring Off Tours (this & next weekend).
Have I missed other awesome local maple syrup events? Feel free to comment in below to share them with the community.

I made these scones last weekend for company and they were a huge hit; light (um, seeming), flaky, and delicious. And everyone was happy to simply nibble these special treats alongside fresh fruit. Easy peasy.
This spring-like weather is utterly delicious, and if your kids want to create colorful flowers to match (while nature catches up), consider this 
Indeed it does. And tomorrow (March 6) the 
Are you looking for a compact, portable reference to help navigate the kid-friendly ins and outs of our fair city? Today I share my thoughts on Kim Foley MacKinnon’s new book, 
I stopped drinking coffee several months ago and since have been consuming a lot of herbal tea. And our friend Taina recently introduced us to a fantastic tea blend (inspired by her mama friend Jess) that I’ve been enjoying daily (I am, in fact, enjoying a cup right this minute). One batch is great to share with friends after dinner, or to enjoy through the day, whether it sits stove top at home or in a travel thermos at work. And it seems to me that the citrus-ginger blend could help stave off, or at least soothe, winter colds.
