Did this holiday season run anyone else over by a truck? Thanksgiving got blown in by a blizzard, quickly followed by my birthday festivities, a week long flu, and then BAM CHRISTMAS. I did take some time to get all artsy-craftsy… Continue Reading →
Do you hear it? That faint jingling? Aw yeah. It’s the holidays. Time for mittens and peppermint mochas and MY BIRTHDAY and watching people fall while skating on Frog Pond. WHO’S EXCITED? Along with presents and baked goods and family time,… Continue Reading →

I need to put this out there first: this sounds like a sponsored post. It’s not. In any way. I wasn’t asked, compensated, or even hugged for writing it. I just really, really love this concept. Carrying on… If you’re… Continue Reading →
I don’t consider myself fashionable. I wear yoga pants or work out capris more days than not. I have good reason to, working in a gym. Occasionally I do like to look “put together,” but I don’t stay up on the… Continue Reading →
Living in one place for a while, it’s easy to get into a routine. You visit the same coffee shops, go to the same restaurant, take the same walk, work on that butt imprint in your couch. You find favorites… Continue Reading →
Last week, I was made an offer I couldn’t refuse. I was invited to try out ScoreBig.com, an online ticketing platform that has been around for a couple years but was new to me. I was offered credit to the… Continue Reading →

If you’ve been following this January series, you may have thought “wow, Molly really hates to work out!” and you would be correct. I really do. But for me, the least agonizing exercise is done in the class setting. Zumba,… Continue Reading →

So you all know I love the olympics. But my favorite part of the olympics? The intense pictures taken of athletes in mid-action. These never fail to make me giggle like crazy. You can check out all the amazing (and sometimes… Continue Reading →

Some questions for you, reader: Have you purchased a deal from one of those sites like Groupon, Living Social, Eversave, etc? Did you realize that you’re never going to use that 50% coupon for basket weaving classes? Do you want… Continue Reading →
What do I know about self storage? Um…nothing. Which is why I was a bit confused when I was contacted by the kind peeps over at SelfStorageDeals.com to write a guest blog. But it turns out, their site is more… Continue Reading →

The Boston Symphony Orchestra opened its 2010/2011 season last Saturday with conductor James Levine back at the helm after healing from a back injury. I was a music major in college and even took a class focused on the Symphony…. Continue Reading →
I love birthdays. I celebrate mine for a full week. I’m not ashamed. What other time do you get to celebrate YOURSELF? And you know I also love free stuff. So what could be better than free stuff for my… Continue Reading →

This is another one of those places I had never heard of before doing research for this blog even though I had passed by it multiple times. The Otis House is on Cambridge Street in Boston’s West End (near Mass…. Continue Reading →
I had mentioned a few of these daily deal sites in one of my very first posts, but I’ve discovered a few more and wanted to keep the newer readers updated. (Got a whole bunch more subscribers yesterday. Hi you guys!)… Continue Reading →
Do you like the smell of books? Heck yes, you do. Read on! When I told people I was going to visit the Boston Athenaeum the most common response was “Athe-whaaat?” To be honest, before I started doing some research… Continue Reading →
Another beeeautiful day in Boston and another perfect day for playing a tourist. 9. Old South Meeting House Built in 1729, this Puritan meeting house was used for church services as well as political gatherings. Most importantly the meeting that… Continue Reading →
Next stop on the trail… 5. King’s Chapel My favorite stop so far. If you visit one church in Boston, visit this one. Originally built with wood in 1688 then rebuilt with stone 1754. The building may look a bit… Continue Reading →
Today I walked and visited sights along the first half of the Freedom trail, from Boston Common to Old Corner Book Store. The weather was beautiful and the crowds small. If I could have gotten a foot transplant somewhere along… Continue Reading →
I’ve officially declared it Freedom Trail Week at WCiB. Get excited. Confession time: I grew up in New Hampshire, an hour away from Boston, and have lived in the city since 2004…and I have NEVER toured the Freedom Trail. Ridiculous,… Continue Reading →
Slow day for cheap-and-free stuff in Boston. Plus my brain isn’t quite back from vacation mode so I figured I’d hit ya with some resources. The scenario: You want to woo a lovely lady or handsome gentleman. You want to… Continue Reading →
This is a very, very delayed “Cheap Day Out.” In fact, it happened months before I had even thought about writing this blog. But it was still (very) cheap. And a day out. So it counts!! “Todays” destination: The Sam… Continue Reading →
As part of Highland Street Foundation’s Free Fun Fridays, admission to the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum is free today. I had never been to the museum so I decided to check it out this morning. Although it… Continue Reading →
I’d like to make this “Cheap Day Out” idea a regular occurrence on the blog. I go out, discover new places, have some fun, take some pictures, and come back to share it with all…five of you that read this… Continue Reading →
Remember museums? Those places you went to on field trips in elementary school? They still exist! Neat, huh? The less neat part about them is how expensive they can be to get into. $20 for general admission to the MFA?… Continue Reading →
