The very first stop of our 3000+ mile family road trip was the Flight 93 National Memorial in Southwest Pennsylvania. Things to know before you visit: There is a limited restroom facility (basically, a permanent outhouse) but no water or food. Bring your own water if you’ll need it during your visit. The Memorial…
Gingerbread Houses 2013 {Wordless Wednesday}
Our first snow day of the year was the perfect time to decorate the traditional gingerbread houses. The kids had so much fun putting their, um, personal touches to their houses… What have you been up to lately? Seven Clown Circus | Parenting By Dummies | Angry Julie Monday | Live and Love Outloud…
Mini Chocolate-Bottom Berry Cheesecake
I’m participating once again with From Val’s Kitchen and This Mama Loves in our weekly recipe linky, and since I was out of town last week, I figured it would be a perfect time to finally share this “forgotten” recipe, even though these old pictures are not quite up to par.

Beginning a Project 365 – Photostory Friday & Give Me Your Best Shot
It’s a new year, I just got a new Android Smartphone with a cool camera and fun photo apps, and I have been hearing a ton of buzz about Project 365. I tried completing a Project 365 a few years ago and only made it a couple months. But that was before smart phones. My…
