Love and Footballs are in the Air

     Valentines Day! Superbowl! G-alentines Day! Which are you celebrating? Are you trying to celebrate all three? Me I will enjoy my time knitting while the super bowl plays in the background and of course eat some delicious food. For Valentines Day well I prefer showing love to the ones I care about in small ways, but everything going on does have me thinking about what could be happening in the area.

    Let's start with a brand new business called Putnam Vineyard, where I am currently sitting. If you haven't been here you need to stop by. Between their delicious coffee, amazing wine, and vegan cookies this is the place to come for your next date. But what are they doing for Valentines? At 10:00 on Saturday they have Laura's Cookies of Vermont coming in to share her heat shaped cookies with Putnams mimosa flights. If heart shaped cookies isn't your thing then book an appointment with Homegrown Jewelry and have a custom G-alentines gift created for you and your bestie. 

 If a vineyard isn't your thing then head to Tip Top Pottery and bring out your creative side. Bring your own snacks and drinks and make this in a date night you won't forget as you create memorable pottery pieces.  
Are you looking for Superbowl rather than valentines. Head over to Salt Hill in Lebanon. Enjoying watching the game on multiple big screens with all the fans cheering with you. Salt Hill will also have special superbowl themed menu items for the night. 

Finally Post Mills Airport has been inspired by the cold and will be launching hot air balloons this weekend! The weather looks good (I am fairly sure) so if you are a balloon lover like me be there tomorrow by no later than 7am to watch them head off on their airy adventure. There will also be ski planes taking off and a possible snow sculpture building there too. 
I hope everyone has a great safe weekend with whatever you decide to do. I think I will pack up the dog and head out on a hike while the weather is warmer. 

Have a great weekend and stay safe out there!

Ten Hangover Cures

 Ten Hangover Cures Number one cure for a hangover is to drink fluids . You get to choose if you want water or gatorade but start hydrating. Coconut Water is extremely hydrating. Did you forget to eat while you were drinking last night? Some hangovers are caused by your brain working without fuel. Try eating some carbohydrates. Your best option would be some toast and some juice. Eat slow if you are feeling nausea. Take a pain reliever. But avoid Tylenol! Aspirin and Ibuprofen are going to be your friend. Take one of these to help relieve the headache and other body aches. But don't take Tylenol as that will react with the alcohol and could cause liver damage.  Find yourself some Dunkins! Although there is no proven fact that caffeine will cure a hangover but the caffeine will help with the grogginess. Try some ginger tea for the nausea Find yourself some B Vitamin and Zinc Foods. The consumption of foods containing B vitamins and zinc have shown to reduce the severity of a...

Avoid the Cold Head to The Tropics!

Image
       With a high of 10 degrees tomorrow, and let's face it will we really see 10, it is time to look at something warm to do tomorrow. Now I might just hibernate under my rumpl blanket all day with my national parks book and dream of the future, but if you have kids that isnt an option. I have heard mountains are closing but were you really going skiing tomorrow? What about heading to the tropics? I know, I know who has the money for a 24 hour trip like that! Not me! But let's head to a tropical place and stay warm with tropical creatures. Trust me it's easier than you think.       Magic Wings Butterfly Conservatory in Deerfield Massachusetts is where we are headed. This magical place is located 5 minutes off of interstate 91 in Western Massachusetts, making it very easy for all to access. Magic Wings is truly magical, especially on a cold day, they keep the conservatory at a humid 80 degrees. Once inside you are surrounded by trees, bushy pl...

Weekend Vacation at Hampton Beach

Image
 Weekend getaway anyone? Even though spring is around the corner winter still feels in very much here as we shoveled more snow this last week and maybe that has you thinking it is time for a vacation! How about Hampton Beach? I know the beach in the winter time? I'm not crazy it is actually really nice and where I went to escape my winter realities.  So first things first, you can find some really nice places right on the water for a fraction of the price right now. The airbnb I chose to stay in came with everything I needed and was only steps from the beach, would have costed me at least $299 a night in the summer but instead was just around $100 a night. It was awesome! Next, what about food? All the restaurants are going to be closed in the winter! Don't worry the Flamingo Coffee Bar was open for breakfast and lunch. This place was adorable and had some amazing looking doughnuts. For dinner the Ashworth Hotel   has a restaurant and bar inside for anyone to enjo...
