Go Ice Skating on the Boston Common Frog Pond
The Boston Common Frog Pond sits at the heart of Boston Common, one of America’s oldest and most treasured public parks. With a winter ice rink and skating school, a reflecting pool in the spring and fall, and a summer spray pool and children’s carousel, there is always a fun and exciting activity for residents and tourists alike. Additionally, the Frog Pond Café that is open year-round in accordance with the status of the rink or spray pool, is a welcome break no matter what the temperature.

Tour The Taza Chocolate Factory
At the Taza Chocolate Factory in Somerville, Mass, they craft stone ground chocolate from bean to bar. It all began when Taza founder Alex Whitmore took his first bite of stone ground chocolate while traveling in Oaxaca, Mexico, and came home so inspired that he decided to create a chocolate factory. Fueled by a passion for Mexican chocolate traditions, he learned to hand-carve the granite millstones that Taza uses today to grind cacao into rustic, organic dark chocolate that bursts with bright, bold flavor and texture. For just $10, you and a guest can take a tour of their amazing factory.

Financial Tip Of The Day
Master The Thirty Day Rule.
Whenever you’re considering making an unnecessary purchase, wait thirty days and then ask yourself if you still want that item. Quite often, you’ll find that the urge to buy has passed and you’ll have saved yourself some money by simply waiting. If you want, you can even keep a “thirty day list” where you write down the item and the day you’ll reconsider it, but I prefer just to keep this one in my head – that way, I often just forget about the unimportant things.
