I’ve had quite the Saturday so far! I don’t think that I’ve stopped moving all day. Must be all of that espresso! 
The photo shoot for OpenSky went much better than expected. Usually, I get SO nervous on camera and speaking in front of groups– and I avoid these types of situations as much as possible. Basically, I panic. My mind goes blank and I start sweating… it’s not a pretty sight. 
Anyway, things went fairly well. I was really nervous at first, but it got easier after the first couple of products.
I’m actually REALLY excited about the products in my shop. They’re all wonderful, but one in particular is going to knock your socks off! 
Hint: I made an awesome iced soy latte with it for lunch this afternoon!
I also had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on a Sandwich Thin.
After lunch, I set out for baking supplies. I have a lot of cookies to bake this afternoon!
Instead of driving to the grocery store, I decided to make the trip my exercise for the day. I walked a mile to the grocery store and then a mile home. It was a nice, little walk that got my heart pumping, especially on the walk back!
Here are some photos of my neighborhood:
It was a cold yet sunny day in South Boston.
The walk home was much more strenuous with two huge sacks of groceries. I was sweating by the time I walked home and up 4 flights of stairs to our apartment. It definitely felt like a workout to me!
Check out the loot that I lugged home!
When I got home from my walk, I chugged some water and snacked on a Red Delicious apple.
I have lots of baking to do! Better get crackin’!
Hope you’re enjoying your Saturday!

walking to the store with all those groceries on the way back was most def a workout! everything looks gooood. glad your shoot went well. i, too, get nervous before those types of things also. you crack me up with your iced coffees–it has to be freezing in boston.
Not only is walking to the store a great idea for a fitness substitute, but that would also qualify as a major Green Heart! (www.bluetreegreenheart.com)
Double kudos!
I totally agree that walking home laden with groceries counts as a workout. Have a great afternoon of baking!
I need to visit your Open Sky store!
Walking with those groceries is definitely a work out
Have fun baking
Public speaking makes me CRAZY nervous so I can relate! And that’s for sure a workout. I wish I could walk to the grocery store but that’s pretty much impossible where I live.
Living in NYC with no car means I always have to walk home with groceries. Today I carried home a chicken. It was a good mini workout!
You have a really pretty neighborhood!
Glad the photo shoot went well!
Dude. When my grocery list gets to be more than a few items long, I always opt for taking my car. I believe you just inspired me to suck it up and walk!
Ooh, you shouldn’t have that apple sitting on the package of raw meat…. eek
Lots of groceries! I just got back from the store as well!
What’s all the baking for?!
That soy latte looks awesome!! Boston looks gorgeous, I love all your grocery eats.
Wow, I’m impressed! That was some workout with those bags! Great job!
@Sarah: There was plastic on the meat.
I can’t believe you lugged that all home! Cardio & strength in one : )
Oh my gosh…your neighborhood is adorable!
Wow you braved the cold and power walked home with two bags of groceries – nice work!!
I see you picked up some Teddie brand peanut butter, I can’t get that in Florida, but I make sure my family has some on hand when I go back to Upstate NY for a visit
I’ll bet the walk back really did feel like a workout! Happy Baking
What a fun day! Love all of your food buys too!
I absolutely LOVE your neighborhood-how picturesque!! And your apartment is amazing
I love the pictures of your neighborhood! Happy Saturday!
i really loved seeing the pictures of your ‘hood too.
Love the pictures of the ‘hood! I am just a little ways down the road
I love walking to get groceries. Hunni and I do that all summer.
I’ve been told that I would love Boston, and judging by your pictures I agree!
Glad the interview went well–I’m sure you did awesome
@Jenny: What interview?
The neighborhood looks gorgeous! Boston is so beautiful!
Which product from your store did you use to make the frothy latte?
I love Southie! The pictures of your neighborhood look so good. Way to go getting some exercise in while going to the grocery store.
