Go Take a Hike
We’ve done a lot of hiking lately, something we don’t get to do too much of in our flat little town surrounding by cornfields. I have to say that it feeds our souls like nothing else. We have had a habit for years of stopping by libraries of whatever nearby towns we travel to in…
Sort of Wordless Wednesday
I love the idea of Wordless Wednesday but I’m too yappy to possibly go without speaking in a whole post and there are too many pictures I love from the past few days to narrow it to only one. So this is my (not really, kinda) Wordless Wednesday entry, but with extra pics. I’ve never…
10 Ways to Make Today Magical

Two trick or treaters, Three black cats, Four skeletons, Five Snicker bars, Six goblins gobbling, Seven pumpkins glowing,…
10 Ways to Make Today Magical
Happy Monday! Welcome to a whole new week to make some magical memories. Here’s a few ideas on how to do that… 1. Add water balloons to your child’s bath. No, you don’t throw them, but they’re fun to play with! 2. Eat dragons for snacks. 3. Carve mini jack-o-lanterns out of orange halves and…
Surviving Alex
Last week, we stopped in front of the town drugstore to peek at a sidewalk sale going on. I saw a delightfully whimsical watermelon serving dish with a leaf-handled spreading knife and checked the tag — on clearance for $4.99. I have no use for watermelon serving dishes but I loved the look of it….
