Say yes, to fresh local produce! An enthusiastic hard working group of Medway, Massachusetts Memorial School fourth grade classes certainly does say, “YES!”, especially when they worked so hard growing their very own produce at Medway Community Farm! As a registered dietitian, Medway resident and Medway Community Farm Community Supported Agriculture member, I was thrilled […]

My second child graduated from high school this month.  It’s amazing how time flies. Kids sure do grow fast.  I hope you can enjoy each and every day with your little ones. Occasions like these make me reflect a bit on my role as a Mom, daughter, sister, wife and friend.  I really try to […]

I have to admit, I am somewhat addicted to visiting farms.  I’m not sure I would like to work on one 24/7 but I love walking around, checking out the animals, looking at the plants grow, and just the general vibe. It’s peaceful on the farm.  At least in my little farm world.  I come […]

We had a busy weekend at the Scarlata household.  Russ and I went to see one of our favorite folk singers, Kate Klim on Friday night. The concert was very low key in a church hall.  A really nice calm atmosphere…a great way to chill out after a long work week. Saturday, after a nice […]

On the docket today, decorating tote bags and making ciabatta bread! Michelle and I took a […]

One of my favorite holidays of the year is Valentine’s Day.  What is better to celebrate than LOVE? I love handcrafting my Valentine’s day cards and enjoy adding a handmade touch to my Valentine’s day treats. Last year for my office, I treated the office staff to specially labeled fruit. Here’s a sample that I […]

Fifteen years ago I took my, then, 5-year-old daughter Chelsea to New York City.  It was just the two of us.  We took the bus from Boston to the Big Apple. Two chicks on the move. I remember our trip to the city like it happened yesterday.  We hit all the hot spots! Times Square, the […]
