While it may not technically be fall yet according to the calendar, once school starts and morning temps are in the 40's, to me, pumpkin season has officially begun. It was only a few years ago that I got on the pumpkin band wagon, and now I'm in love. And before anyone else shares this, … Continue reading A Tale of Two Pumpkin Spice Lattes

Shopping and Pho…A Weekend in Pictures
When we bought our house, I found out the hard way that we were seriously downgrading grocery stores. Our last Giant had a great (and expanding) organic section, and even a beer garden. Apparently this Giant got rid of their organic section a while ago and integrated the products throughout the rest of the store. … Continue reading Shopping and Pho…A Weekend in Pictures
Hard Water Blues
I remember talking about our well water in earth science class in 8th grade, and one of my friends told the class she thought that meant we had to go pump our water every day....good times. Anyway, I'd had well water my entire life until I left for college, and now that we've moved into … Continue reading Hard Water Blues
My First Vegan Festival…Bethlehem Vegfest
Last year I was browsing for vegetarian festivals and the day I was searching online was the day of the Bethlehem Vegfest. My lifelong (okay the past two years or so) food truck crush The Cinnamon Snail was going to be there and I was so sad I missed it. As soon as I found … Continue reading My First Vegan Festival…Bethlehem Vegfest
Flirting With Homeschooling
Now that summer is over (school-wise), I thought I'd finally post about my experimenting with homeschooling. First, I will start off by admitting my huge misconceptions about homeschooling growing up. As a kid, I knew some homeschooled kids and their parents always seemed weird. Plus it didn't seem like they had any friends (looking back, … Continue reading Flirting With Homeschooling
Things We Did Right Before and During Our Move
These past 2 weeks since moving have been so crazy and hectic! I felt like I'd been preparing for our move before we even put an offer down on the house, and we still weren't completely ready when the time actually came. Here are a few things we did right in preparation for our big … Continue reading Things We Did Right Before and During Our Move
Moving Stress
I apologize for my unscheduled 2 week hiatus. I never imagined moving into this house would be so much work. I mean, I guess I knew it would be a lot of work, but I thought I'd be able to handle it better. Ever since I left for college, up until August of 2009, I … Continue reading Moving Stress
Revamping the Sunroom
So as most of you probably know, we officially made a huge purchase last week. The house is incredibly beautiful and has a ton of extras most of the other houses in our price range didn't have...sun room, swing set, gazebo, security system, two two car garages, super hip intercom system, some land, etc... The … Continue reading Revamping the Sunroom
It's official…
I am a homeowner! I saw this house the first day it went back on the market and wanted to make an offer ASAP. We waited a few months and looked at some other places, but in the end our search ended here. It needs a lot of updating, and the spider population rivals NYC, … Continue reading It's official…
My Experience With The Chiropractor So Far
I've been going to the chiropractor for 4 weeks now, and have had 8 sessions (not including the initial consultation). So far every appointment has been the same: 10 minutes on the Spinalator, and then a quick adjustment. Thoughts I love the Spinalator machine. It's basically a table with a roller in the middle of … Continue reading My Experience With The Chiropractor So Far
