We have some of Nate’s relatives from St. Louis visiting us this week. As we often do when they come to town we spend a little time being “tourists” in our own city a little bit and find some fun and unique things to do with them. We’ve done some brewery tours with them, mini […]
In two days it will be September. This weekend is Labor Day weekend. Ollie goes back to school next Tuesday. I know many people who will argue with me and say that summer is not over until the Autumnal Equinox late in September and from a meteorological standpoint, you are so right about that. I […]
First of all, I should be doing Tuesday Topics today, but I just could not come up with my three things. The topic this week is three casting mistakes in film. The only thing I could come up with is Shailene Woodley in anything (but especially Divergent). I am just not a fan of her […]
We had a fantastic Fair day on this past Friday! Ollie was a trooper, he made it eight hours! That is the longest we’ve ever had him there. The day was so fun though, the time passed by too fast. All week long they’d been predicting rain. We weren’t too excited about it, but this […]

I don’t remember the exact date, but but 11 years ago this week we completed the purchase of our house. We have been homeowners for 11 years. It blows my mind sometimes. It was all a matter of timing. The house had belonged to Nate’s great aunt. She became ill and was determined she could […]
This week’s topic for Tuesday topics is like a love language. Four favorite chocolate recipes. I had a hard time narrowing this down. It’s funny, as an adult I find I don’t always gravitate toward chocolate EVERYTHING anymore, but I still do love chocolate. And bad me, I have no pictures of any of the […]
Time for another book review! I just finished my book for book club and we got together yesterday to discuss it. The pick for this month was “The Art of Asking or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Let People Help” by Amanda Palmer. I actually chose the book for this month. I saw […]
