I big puffy heart fresh fruits and vegetables. Seriously, nothing compares to fresh produce. Especially produce from a locally owned store. So I was beyond thrilled when I discovered Pioneer Market Fruits & Vegetables just down the street from my house. The first time I went in, I was little hesitant (I always am when…
This or That Thursday {Getting to Know Missouri}
Two days ago, while out driving with Miss 18, I got a little lost and ended up in a town called Burfordville. Burfordville is a sleepy little historic town which boasts one of Missouri’s few remaining covered bridges as well as a mill that was built in 1800, damaged during the Civil War and later…
Bollinger Mill Historic Site {Getting to Know Missouri}
I’ve said it before, but I have the navigation skills of a monkey in a windstorm. I used to be able to drive myself across state lines without so much as a map, gps or cell phone without getting lost, now I spend 85% of my time listening to that infernal “Recalculating” over and over…
A Visit to the Art Gallery and Museum {Getting to Know Missouri}

This or That Thursday #NaBloPoMo

I’m Going to Show Me the Blog
Guess who has two thumbs, a blog, a Facebook page, followers on Twitter and is going to Show Me the Blog in St. Louis? This girl. Yep, that’s right. I’ve finally registered for my very first blog conference and I’m so excited. I’ve wanted to attend a conference since I started blogging, but for a variety…
Loose Threads and Random Thoughts
Do you like taking pictures? I’m not talking about just snapping pictures of your kids while they’re little so you can remember how sweet they used to be once they become teens? I mean, do you carry your camera everywhere you go? I do. I love snapping pictures and playing with the various editing tools.…
