Recycle. Repurpose. Reuse.
There’s nothing in the world more rewarding than a day out exploring new places.
I like to Christmas shop early in the season. I wait for the Christmas decorations to go up but like to be finished with my shopping list before the post Thanksgiving frenzy begins. It’s not that I don’t shop in December. But I find shopping in December to be a lot more fun if I… Continue reading Weekend in Columbus: Let the Holidays Begin!
It's the first week of September. Kids are back in school. Store shelves are filled with Halloween decor and mums are beginning to bloom.But it's still in the 80's, the calendar says it's summer until September 22, and "gosh darn it! I'm not ready to let go of the season!" So how can we shake… Continue reading My Summer in September Bucket List
When it comes to travel, I'm not a fan of waiting until the time is right or the money is more plentiful. There is no wrong time to travel. And the money that you spend won't be missed any more than if you bought anything else. Travel while your kids are young. Travel before you have kids.

The next time, I would wait for the summer Extravanza that takes place in June. Good or bad though, the weather wouldn't be an issue… Continue reading Antiques Extravaganza: The Goodwill Hunt

Painted a deep shade of purple, it had a wrap around porch filled with cozy seating areas, primitive displays and… Continue reading Antiques Extravaganza: Thursday in Kutztown, PA
My daughter planned to pick me up at 6:10 a.m. At 5:35 I woke up with a start. I only had a half hour to shower, dress for funeral, feed the cats, give my husband last minute instructions, and get all of my final items stowed into my bags. I got up and started… Continue reading Antiques Extravaganza: Day #1 The Funeral
The night before a trip always puts my nerves in a twist. I’d been fretting the entire evening. I’ve gotten so that I don’t like traveling without my husband and I had pretty much convinced myself that I didn’t want to go. But this trip with my daughter was to visit the Spring… Continue reading Antiques Extravaganza: The Night Before
