You guys, I’ve been almost at the bursting point with excitement for the last few weeks and now I’m finally able to share… I’ve been invited by the Cape Girardeau Visitor’s Bureau to participate in an Instagram Takeover! An Instagram Takeover is basically where I sign in to Instagram as @visitcape and post pictures from their account…
Old St. Vincent’s Catholic Church
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, some of my best adventures happen by chance… This past Saturday, The Hubs and I were out for a drive when we noticed a sign in front of Old St. Vincent’s Catholic Church that read “Open for Tours”. I’ve been dying to go inside pretty much…
Ten Things I Love About Fall {In the Cafe}
10. Hot apple cider 9. Autumn displays ~ Missouri and Pennsylvania have the most beautiful Fall weather, from the falling leaves to the deep blue skies, nothing is more indicative of the hand of God at work. 8. Heated seats ~ A warm bum. Need I say more? 7. Return to school ~ I enjoy…
The MV Mississippi: Largest Diesel Tugboat {In the Neighborhood}
The Hubs and I often have deep and meaningful conversations, especially on Saturday mornings when we’re trying to decide what we want to do besides eat breakfast… The Hubs: “What do you want to do?” Me: “I don’t know. What do you want to do?” The Hubs: “You can’t answer a question with a question.”…
Visit to St. Louis {About Me}

When you’re a parent, finding time for a date night can be hard. Sometimes it seems impossible. But, let me tell you, it’s so vitally important that you carve out time for each other. I know a lot of moms put their children first but your marriage should come first and then the kids. Trust me…
Saturday Wanderings {About Me}

The Alley {This or That Thursday}
This week’s theme for the 365 Project: 2013 Edition is “Tilt Shift”. I’m still fighting a lingering cough from my bout with the flu and bronchitis. For those of you keeping count, this is week 3 of “The Plague“. So going outside in 2o and 30 degree weather just wasn’t in the cards for me…

Annie Laurie’s Antiques {Getting to Know Missouri}
Recently, I attended a presentation called “The Psychology of Now… In Retail and Fashion” by Lynn R. Moore. During the presentation, Lynn talked about current trends in retail and how people have shifted their thought from “I must have new” to “How can I reuse and/or recycle?” She talked about how people are thrifting more,…
