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 and Miss 14 was still tucked safely inside my uterus. I know how much she likes it when I throw that word around. Now Miss 17 is preparing for her first year of college. Mr. 15 is thinking about getting his driver’s license and posing with adjusting the mirrors in my car. Miss 15 is…

Crazy Days of Summer: Water
JOIN ME FOR SHOE STYLE SATURDAY It’s a fun meme all about shoes. For more information, click here. Frances Slocum State Park A few weeks ago, the hubs suggested that we drive to the lake and take some pictures. This was one of the best ideas he’d had in a long time. The lake was incredibly beautiful and watching people fish was relaxing. Huntsville Dam This dam is about 300 feet from my house. Hard to believe something so beautiful can be so dangerous. A few years ago, it burst and we were evacuated from our homes at 2 something in the morning. Hard part? Remembering to take the necessities and…

Shopping in NEPA: KB’s Coffee House
I’ve lived in the Back Mountain for 13 years now and in that time I’ve started taking the beauty of this place for granted. This is a small community where everyone pretty much knows everyone and small town values are still upheld. I love that small town feel, especially when I’m looking for a place to just hang out and relax. I’m a coffee drinker. Big time. In fact, I used to drive a little over 10 miles just to get a cup of joe from one of those big name places but I wanted to find a place close to home, you know a place where everybody knows my name.…

Shopping in NEPA: the Bare Accessories
People are always asking me about my jewelry, they want to know where I bought it or who made it or if they can get something similar. I always tell them “Yes!” and then I proceed to tell them exactly where I purchased each piece, how much I paid for it and who they should talk to when they get to the store. I especially love doing this with small, locally owned businesses ~ when you buy local, you help your community. Anyway, about a month ago, Miss 16 and I were shopping for accessories for her prom dress when we stumbled across a lovely little store at the Shoppes…
