When I was a young lass, the Katy Trail wasn’t nearly as popular or highly regarded as it is now. As a matter of fact, it’s so “new” that in 2010, they just celebrated the 20th anniversary of the trail. The trail system is made up of the old railway byways, and now is used […]
The Old Brick House Deli: A Jefferson City Tradition
In the middle of this dreary day off work (yes, I still have that stinkin’ day job), I put aside the cleaning and laundry (it was so hard to do too, I tell ya) to go have lunch with my mom. On the days that I’m not out making the money, I’m at home with […]

Claysville Store: Claysville, MO
This past weekend, the Hubbs, Olivia, and I made good use of such a beautiful day and went biking along the Katy Trail. I had so many things that needed to be done around the house but who can do chores when we had a 70 degree, sunshiny day after the months of dreary, miserable, […]

Unknown Landmark: Missouri Route K outside of Hermann, MO
Roadtrips. That’s where this whole thing started. Gravel-roadin’ and hitting the roads. I can’t remember exactly when I started or exactly why I fell in love but over the years, I’ve enjoyed more gravel-roadin’ adventures than I can remember. Several years back, I was in a funk. I had just went through a break up […]

Float Trips & Camping ~MO River Style~
I’m not finished telling you about my Colorado vacation. I still have things to cover like skiing atop the most gorgeous mountain and of course, driving through the arm pit of the US. AKA: Kansas. Ugh. But today my Missouri friends, I am going to divulge some Missouri stuff. Float trips and camping. What’s […]

Pic Post: Carl R Noren Access for the Missouri River
The Carl Noren Access to the Missouri is located just on the north side of the Jefferson City bridge. The area has a short nature trail, boat ramp, and parking for those using the pedestrian bridge. The views are wonderful!

Finding Beauty Amongst the Dead ~ Missouri Waterways~
Let’s face it. Missouri isn’t very picturesque during the winter. I look outside and all I see is death. Death of the grass. Death of the trees. Death of all my beautiful flowers. Death. Death. Death. See? Death. Therefore, I went in search of the one thing that I can always count on to be beautiful […]

Biking the Katy: Katy Trail State Park
Becoming a Mommy hasn’t been an easy task for me. I envy the women who have a baby and enjoy every second of every day and are just natural born Mommies. I blame most of it on Olivia’s colic. The child screamed. Every day. Every minute of every day. For 3 solid months. It was […]

Amtrak through Missouri
Last year, shortly after I had Olivia, Robby surprised me with a train ride for the weekend to St Louis. I hadn’t been on the train since I was a kid and even then, I can’t even hardly remember that trip. The train definitely isn’t luxury at it’s finest but man, did it work out well! […]

Festival Friday 5-11-12
Terrible blogger? Lack of dedication? Lazy? I promise I’m not trying to be a single one of these things. I know I’ve disappointed all one and a half of my readers by not presenting many posts lately. I do apologize. Fact of the matter is, I’ve spent my last several days off soaking up Mommyhood. […]

The Famous Leaning Tower of Osage City
Being a new parent is hard. Hard for many reasons but one of those being the lifestyle adjustment you must make for the little one. Robby and I have found that to be one of our toughest battles. Parenthood means not being able to go and do what you please and when you please. Thankfully, […]

Arrow Rock
When I was little, I remember taking a daytrip to Arrow Rock with my mom and my sister. The Arrow Rock I remembered from so long ago was a cobblestone street lined with vintage shops and boutiques, people jaunting in and out with their bags, a whole day full of purusing. At the end of the […]

You’re not from Missouri if you don’t like Bass Pro
As a kid, I remember roaming the grounds of the Bass Pro Headquarters in Springfield as we were on our way to or from summer vacation. It became almost a tradition to hit Bass Pro. 5 year old little girl that I was, I remember being so full of anticipation to go to Bass Pro. […]

Prison Brews
Happy Monday (evening) all! It’s so strange for me to be sitting here, feet up, pjs on, wine in hand on a Monday evening. Usually this time on Monday, I’ve already been hard at it saving lives (or something like it) at work for 3 hours. Gotta admit, I like it. I could get used […]
