I meant to post this earlier today, but got tricked into decorating for Christmas. And what I mean by tricked is that I told The Toddler that if he was a good boy while my mother watched him, I’d let him help me put the tree up. When he remembered this little...

Well, poop. Back to reality tomorrow. Back to getting up early and working and going to bed early and less pie. Can we talk about pie for a moment? My mother made pecan pie for Thanksgiving. I’d never had it before and let me tell you. Life changing. I only ate...

Having said yesterday that I would not hike in clogs, I promptly began the day by hiking in clogs. Take that, responsibility! We set out from Culp’s Hill at like, 9am. It was 42 degrees out, but that’s okay, because The Hubs and I got engaged on...

I’ll give you three guesses on where I’m currently blogging from and the first two don’t count. I know, I know, it seems like I can’t go two weeks without being in Gettysburg. And, coincidentally, it’s been about two weeks since I was...
