Living Life

I found this list on Livng, Learning & Loving Simply.  It’s always fun to see the things you’ve accomplished in your short time here on Earth.  It’s also fun to see the things you still have yet to accomplish.  The bold ones are the ones I’ve done so far.  There are quite a few things… Continue reading Living Life

Penn State – Welcome Back!

Last week the students came flooding back to State College.  Within 48 hours our town doubles in size, swelling with cars and pedestrians its streets are not designed for.  Plastic rolling storage carts, cheap beige rugs, cork boards and junk food are purchased.  Bright eyed frat boy wannabes whiz through Wal-Mart with their big-haired mamas… Continue reading Penn State – Welcome Back!

Happy Father’s Day

I’m not ashamed to be called a “Daddy’s Girl.”  As the first born and the only girl, it was inevitable I would be stuck with that title and it suits me just fine.  Many men father children but not all of them are “Dads.”  My father was not one of those men – he was… Continue reading Happy Father’s Day

You see I crave American food!  Last night I wanted a Cherry Coke Slushie, the kind you get at the movie… Continue reading Pregnancy Cravings in Spain

Happy Mother's Day

I can’t remember the last time I spend Mother’s Day with my mom.  Even though she is far from my geographically I love my mom more than anything.   For her 50th birthday I made a list of things I learned from my mother and I thought I would share them here so everyone can… Continue reading Happy Mother's Day

Secret Shames

Last week one of my very close friends tagged me to list 3 secret shames.  I have been working all week on exactly which ones I wasn’t afraid to post for everyone to see. 1) I collect junk!  No really, it’s junk!  I have a stash of empty yogurt cups, paper towel and toilet paper… Continue reading Secret Shames

We're in Spain!

Once again it’s been forever since I last updated this blog.  It’s hard having two blogs to take care of but I know the readers of my other blog are definitely not interested in craft projects and recipes. Joe and I are happily settling in Moron de la Frontera, Spain where we will reside for… Continue reading We're in Spain!
