I hate winter. I always have. Probably always will. However, the older I get, the more tolerant of Old Man Winter I have become. I don’t mind the snow and ice as long as I can just snuggle down in my house and enjoy the view from inside. Even though it’s rare that this happens. But, […]
Like I said, I’m living in Misery.
Yesterday I briefly griped about Missouri weather. Today, I’M REALLY GONNA GRIPE ABOUT IT! Two days ago, TWO DAYS, it was 72ish degrees outside. A light little breeze. It was splendid. Now today, TWO DAYS later, I look out my window to find it SNOWING!!!! Let me recap…….. On Monday it was 70 something degrees. […]

The Good Ole Gulf: Gulf Shores, AL
I’m sitting here at my desk. It’s January. January= Dreary in Missouri. We had the most beautiful weather yesterday. It hit 70 something degrees, sun was shining, and of course I had to work. Poo. I should be grateful for my job and blah, blah, blah but seriously…. IT WAS 70 SOMETHING DEGREES IN JANUARY!!! […]

White Mule Winery
I realize I’ve already enlightened you to White Mule Winery. But…. I got to soak up a different side to the out-in-the-middle-of-nowhere family owned and operated winery. Located close to the heart of Missouri wine country in Owensville, this place is worth your travel. Especially on Friday nights. White and Red: both delicious. About a […]

My 1st Mother’s Day
As any of my readers know, I am a new Mommy. My husband and I were blessed with our first born, a daughter, whom we named Olivia. The first 3 months were awful, she had colic and did nothing but scream. And I mean scream. It wasn’t a cry, it was a scream! Like I […]

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 […]

I’m in love with… Travel!
My love affair with travel was seeded in me at a young age. I got to spend my 10th birthday in HAWAII!!!! simply because my sister’s husband was stationed there at the military base. Of course, we had the traditional “summer family vacations” every year from the time I can remember. I’ve been to Graceland, […]

I’m fascinated! Okay, okay, I’m jealous…
What do you want to be when you grow up? If children had a nickel for every time they were asked this question, there would be no reason to have an answer. As a child, I wanted to be a teacher. The next year a lawyer. In my teenage years, my answer would have been […]

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. […]

Change is a comin’!
Waking up to another sunshine-filled, beautiful Missouri afternoon sure does put my day to starting off on the right foot. Unfortunately, I will have to be back at work in a few short hours but I plan to soak up some vitamin D in the meantime. Well, I’ve got some exciting news (for me, anyway. […]

White Mule Winery
Imagine this. Farmland, cattle, green grass, open fields, no Walmart or Target. That’s where we ventured out to on Saturday. It was purely blissful. White Mule Winery sits about 20 minutes south of Hermann just off Highway 50 in Owensville (well, the address is Owensville but I don’t know that this place could really be […]

One more week down the hatch, Missouri! I hope you have something exciting on the books for the weekend, even though it looks like the spring weather made a turn for the very, very unspring-y, unpleasant, dreary, miserable, cold, nasty weather. It’s my fault actually. Here I was talking about how awesome our weather was […]

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 […]

Okay, okay, I know. I’m a horrible blogger. I’ve already missed one day this week (so much guilt) and here I am trying to post at 10 pm on a Friday night (I wasn’t always as lame as being home and in my pjs on a Friday night but apparently having children does such things […]
