Happy Easter– also posted in Photos

I love being at my  parent’s house for Easter.  Yes, I am 24 and there is still an Easter basket waiting for me in the morning, eggs are hidden in the yard, and we even dyed eggs.  I don’t think I will ever get to old for that. If my mom isn’t too old to [...]

Handy Woman– also posted in Household Tips

I like to think of myself as not being a “helpless woman.”  Hardware stores aren’t a mystery to me, I own my own drill (and use it),  and can fix many things all by myself.  Growing up, my dad wasn’t afraid to ask me to help him out with tasks in the garage or around [...]

The best day of the year– also posted in News Articles

Groundhog’s day tends to be a big thing around our household.  I have no idea why.  My dad and I have even made Groundhog’s Day ornaments.  It is kind of an odd thing, but I like it. ….that is I did, until someone went and ruined my idea of the beautiful day.  No matter what [...]

It’s been a while.  My life has been ruled by family, food, airports, lesson plans, students, and substitute teaching.  This month has been so busy, and I don’t see it slowing down too much anytime soon. Let’s go back to a time that was nice and relaxing.  A time that should have been addressed way [...]

The best one ever.– also posted in Photos

I have the best mom ever. No questions. No matter how hard you try, you can’t find a better one. She has a tendency to send me seasonal boxes with cute little things to make the apartment feel festive and get us in the holiday spirit. For Halloween there were the peeps (used for jousting), [...]

It’s Autumn– also posted in Photos

It’s getting chilly outside.  I’m getting reminiscent of the last trip we took to Anderson Orchards to pick apples and pumpkins and taste all things fall. I want to see: Photo by Ben Loehrke on Flickr Kids playing in the hay… Photo by Ben Loehrke on Flickr Families spending time together picking apples… Photo by [...]

September 23rd, a day for field trips and Babies!– also posted in Photos

My very first niece, Makayla Penelope. I haven’t met her yet, but all I have heard is that she’s a sleeper, she has a full head of hair and, unlike most other newborn babies, she isn’t weird looking.  She definitely belongs in the family.  In my opinion she’s absolutely adorable and she is going to [...]
