September is by far the busiest month in our house. As the summer comes to an end, we gear up for the start of school and extracurricular activities. Not to mention both mine and my daughter’s birthdays are in September…four days apart. Part of my Libra traits is to be balanced – but there is little that is balanced in September. And once September is over we gear up for Halloween and the holidays. It’s an exciting and beautiful time of year, but I never feel like I have any spare time.

We try not to eat out a lot, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Because we don’t order take out often when we do it can be a hassle, which just frustrates me. I need the process to be simple and straightforward, and fast! I’ve become such a huge fan of Foodler, they make it so easy to order good food fast and has saved the day on quite a few occasions!

We recently used Foodler to order from our local favorite Stone Hearth Pizza, an amazing eatery that uses organic and fresh ingredients. If you live in the Boston area I encourage you to try them! From the comfort of my couch I was able to effortlessly order a yummy vegetarian pizza and salad and have it delivered in under 45 minutes. Delicious and fast? I like!!

During the summer months my daughter and I crave lighter refreshing treats. Lately we have been on a fruit kick, devouring a pineapple at least once a week! I really enjoy Edible Arrangements for many reasons. One: I don’t have to cut fruit! Listen, it can be time consuming, especially with those pineapples! Two: Who doesn’t love food on a stick? Three: Chocolate covered strawberries. Need I say more?!

This summer Edible Arrangements in Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire stores will be offering a scavenger hunt to figure out which store their ‘Summer Strawberry’  is visiting! I swear in another life I was a kick-ass detective, so I love these kinds of challenges!
