So much has happened in the last week and a half that I’ve been disconnected. Most of it’s been good, some of it’s been bad and the rest has been seriously? I had planned to write out a post for each and every thing that happened but decided against it. You know, for my own…
Getting to Know Cape Girardeau/Jackson
Wow, so I didn’t go without the interwebs as long as I thought I would. Thank you, Comfort Suites, for the use of your internet service. We truly appreciate it. The kids and I thought we’d have to go at least a week or so without being connected, I don’t know what decade we think…
Steaming Along
I think I can. I think I can. I think I can. I feel like the Little Engine that Could. I’m being pushed, pulled and dragged by steam and faith alone. Tonight is our last night at my parents’ house and I’m feeling so many mixed emotions. I’m excited to be beginning our new lives…
My Parents are Spoiling My Kids
Oh my gosh! We have been crazy busy this week. As you know, the kids and I left Pennsylvania for good on 23 July and have been chillin’ with my parents in Mississippi for the week and, lemme tell ya, they sure know how to show their grandkids a good time. On Saturday, my twin…
Hangin’ in Mississippi with the Parentals
Soooo this is the longest moving trip ever. Ever. But it’s also been a lot of fun. The kids and I left Pennsylvania Saturday and flew to Alabama where my dad picked us up and drove us to his home in Mississippi. The flight itself was relatively uneventful. Unless you consider the fact that none…
Saying Goodbye to Pennsylvania
Saying “goodbye” to our home of eight years and looking forward to our new life in Missouri. Pennsylvania has been our home for the last 15 years. Sometimes I can’t believe it’s been that long. Sometimes it feels longer. When we first arrived, Miss 17 was 2 years old, Mr. and Miss 15 weren’t crawling…
House Tour: Kitchen
When we first bought our house, everything in it was white ~ from the walls to the appliances to the floor. Just. White. I’m so not a white room kinda girl, so I painted the cabinets a deep chocolate brown and the walls what I hoped was sage but dried more of an almost moldy…
House Tour: Dining Room
Today I’d like to show you the dining room… The wall sconces are from the home and garden section; the furniture is from Ashley Furniture ~ love that store; the little table is from Bed, Bath and Beyond ~ there are monkey candle holders on the table but I forgot to get a clear shot;…
Guest Post: My Daughter Shares Her Feelings on Moving
As you may know by now, my family is in the process of moving to Missouri from Pennsylvania. This whole event has been a whirlwind ~ everything is just going so quickly. But this move isn’t just happening to us adults, it’s happening to the our kids too. And, sometimes as parents, we get so…
And the “For Sale” Sign is Up
Even as I announced the hubs promotion at work and the family’s relocation to Missouri, things still felt a bit surreal, kinda like I was talking about events that were happening to someone else. Today, it happened to me. I signed the contracts and watched as the realtors put a “For Sale” sign in my…
