I have always had Bialy (White) Barszcz (Borscht) or Zurek on Easter Morning {Zurek uses the Kwas rye sour starter, while the Bialy Barszcz uses a wheat starter}. The things that were blessed in our Easter baskets on Saturday morning are then cut up and placed in the hot soup – hard-boiled eggs, sausage, salt, bread. (more…)
Here are some behind the scenes (BTS) pictures of the commercial I was cast in that was filmed this week! The production company is New Sky Productions and the client is Granite State Solar. The commercial will be broadcast on WMUR so keep a look out for me!

It is officially Easter Week! N is on a business trip and I have been quite busy this week – I was in a commercial yesterday! (I have always loved acting ever since I was 12 and started taking classes in the 7th grade! The long – all day shoots don’t bother me one bit.. I’ll share some BTS pics on tomorrow’s post!)
I haven’t had time to prepare my house for Easter this year!! There is just so much to do! Luckily, we do not host Easter so I guess it doesn’t matter as much?? But one day, I would love to have it all Eastery … (more…)
Hi! It is absolutely POURING here in Boston today! We have major flood warnings happening, but it’s been a nice calm day in the house. Freddy has been napping pretty much all day (he must be wiped from day-care all week!) and I am able to get a lot of work done in the office.

I am SO excited for Easter. It is my favorite Holiday – comes close to Christmas, but it definitely takes 1st place. The pastels, the spring weather, the short dresses, the floral, the ruffles, the bows, the chocolate bunnies — I just love everything about it!
I started attending church on a regular weekly basis again and I am pretty happy about it! When I graduated college and moved away from home, it became hard keeping up with Sunday mass. However, N is doing the RCIA program so we can get married in a Catholic church. My grandmother cries happy tears every night. Church has also brought us closer as we both attend Sunday Mass together. I even went today (on a TUESDAY!) just to reflect and mediate a bit. It is very refreshing.
SO, for EASTER SUNDAY, I always remember getting a new fresh Spring outfit just to go to church! My mom used to dress my sister and I in pink ruffle dresses and my sister HATED it! I definitely cried about it too (there are pictures!) However, look at me now — always in search of ruffles and bows especially for Easter Sunday Mass 🙂
I linked some of my favs below this collage. Don’t forget to get your kids or boyfriend an Easter basket! and your pet deserves a special treat too 🙂 Happy Easter Month!

Happy Friday!
I am on the Whole30 Reintroduction Phase and had strawberry soy yogurt and coffee with sugar and soy milk this morning. I’m bringing back the legumes today. If you haven’t been following along, the program I just completed can be explained in this book.
Anyways, tomorrow is Aptil 1st and we are getting a SNOW storm later on today into tomorrow morning. WHY!? WHERE IS SPRING? Yesterday it was 50 degrees out and we were able to snap these pics. Today, I’ll be bundled up in my winter gear!
