Me Time!

Sorry for not staying consistent with this blog, but with 6 month old twins, my hands are often full! So now as the weather is starting to improve, I have gotten out a little more and seen new and exciting things. I joined a book club at the Brookline Booksmith, which is fun, we are reading Rudyard Kipling's "Kim". In the past few weeks, I have also explored more and I must say: I LOVE BOSTON! There is so much to do and see and eat!!! Needless to say all diets flew out the window when I learned of Chau Chow City's Dim Sum in Chinatown!!! So delicious. The familiar tastes exploded in my mouth and I was instantly reminded of great times with my old boss and friend Chris Chen and all the food we ate in Ohio and in Salt Lake. Today was the start of a 3 day weekend for me. I choose to explore Hanover street and Salem Street in the North End which is Boston's Little Italy. Besides a million pastry shops and Gelato stops and Restaurants, I was quite comfortable with the atmosphere and enjoyed taking my time wandering through shops, and streets. I even had my own 40 minute conversation with a total stranger which was fun. Lunch was spent at Cantina Italiana.....home made Gnocchi, which just melted in my mouth and was so light and delicious I can still close my eyes and smell those little potato bites from heaven! Of course I couldn't let dessert pass me by, (yes, I gave into my weakness for Tiramisu) which was beyond words and so Fantastico!
All in all, not a bad few weeks, I took a Sushi making class at Sea To You Sushi and surprised even myself with how professional my Maki rolls looked.
Anjuli and Maya continue to grow and amaze me with how quickly they learn new milestones! Ever adorable and full of energy, they keep me on my toes and I enjoy every minute with them.
Wednesday nights continue to be my saving grace as I am a faithful student of Restorative Yoga at the South Boston Yoga Studio. My instructor is amazing and I feel renewed every Wednesday! Yay for Yoga!
All of these experiences just serve to remind me how lucky and blessed I am. I am reminded of gratitude. Gratitude for life, family, friends, good food, and the ability to have these experiences!
