Last month I told you about my girls’ new favorite subscription box, Gramma in a Box. It features three tasty treats that does all the work…leaving you the fun! Since they were kind enough to send us another box, I am so excited to share the yummy treats they got to make.
But first…a little something about this box.
What comes in each box?
Check out my latest piece on Thrive Global…Arianna Huffington’s amazing website. It’s all about what kids learn from traveling. Don’t wait another day to take that family vacation!

Smartass and Sass Subscription Box
Warning to my dad…if you’re going to read this, be prepared there are going to be many curses in this piece…lol. I found a box that I can’t stop telling all my friends about because the items in the box remind me of my friends and I after we’ve been drinking! It is a perfect balance of snark and charm, with a dash of profanity! That’s SO US!!! Smartass and Sass is an amazing way to treat yourself every month…and who deserves it more than you?
The creators of the box, Kim and Abby, seem like my kind of people. They call themselves silly weirdos that love to laugh…and they know every word to Wedding Crashers! Don’t they sound fun?!
What comes in each box?
Each Smartass and Sass box has 5-8 handmade, hilarious items. The items have a theme and all of the items relate to it. It includes things like mugs, notebooks, tote bags, water bottles, pens & pencils, magnets, candles, etc. It has items you probably would never buy yourself but secretly wish someone would buy for you. It reminds me of getting a care package from your best friend.
My theme was I LOVE ME
So, what did I get? I can’t wait to show you!!
My new favorite ceramic mug! What an inspirational phrase…lol

Looking for a hotel? Take a peek at our review. Here’s where we stayed:
With so many hotels to choose from in Boston, it’s often hard to decide where to stay. The other night we had the pleasure of staying at Studio Allston and it was the most colorful hotel we’ve ever stayed at. The artistic vibe is played out throughout the hotel and your eyes are drawn from one spot to the next. It was the perfect location to escape the noise of the city, is only 15 minutes from downtown Boston, and is a short walk to Harvard. It was so easy to drive here…and that’s coming from someone who usually would rather have a root canal than drive in a city!
Occasionally, I come across a product that I feel I HAVE to share with you. I wanted to show you my new favorite travel shoe. It is from a company called Arcopédico. They have been creating handmade shoes in Portugal since 1966 and are now available in over 40 countries. Yeah Portugal!!
The Illusionists
Live from Broadway
If this amazing show hits your area, I would highly recommend going to see it! Not only is it hysterical, but you will have your mind blown at all the tricks they perform. It will have you at the edge of your seat and the entire family will love it! We just caught the show while it was in Boston last weekend and we had a blast!
The illusionists include:
Colin Cloud (The Deductionist)
Raymond Crowe (The Unusualist)
Paul Dabeck (The Trickster)
Jonathan Goodwin (The Daredevil)
An Ha Lim (The Manipulator)
Sabine Van Diemen (The Sorceress)

We saw it at the Emerson Colonial Theatre. It was a beautiful theater!

FOOT SOAK
So, you’re telling me you are going to pay someone to let you stick your feet in water? Yes and no. It’s more of an experience. To me, it felt like the moment during a massage where you lay on the table waiting for the masseuse to come in and you’re listening to the relaxing music and hear no one call you Mommy. It’s so relaxing and no one is even touching you.
WHAT DO YOU GET OUT OF A FOOT SOAK?
Ok…the salon says, “It is said that the feet mirror the body, corresponding to different organs and systems. In our custom foot soaks, we use different salt blends to try and replicate the waters of natural hot springs which are high in minerals. These minerals are believed to have healing properties when absorbed by the skin.” Interesting. What I got out of it was relaxation, a calm mind, time to myself, and my own quiet oasis…for 30 minutes.
ARE THERE DIFFERENT KINDS OF SOAKS?
