You may have seen Janetha’s survey circulating around the blogosphere. It’s very creative and I thought it would be a fun one to fill out, so here goes! A is for age: 24, but I will be turning 25 in May. Hard to believe it has been nearly three years since I graduated from college. […]
Tidbits and Treats
Spring Forward
Losing an hour is never fun when there already isn’t enough time in the day. But an extra hour of light during the evening was pretty fantastic, so I’m not complaining (too much). 🙂 We’ve had a busy weekend that included a wonderful trip to visit my Dzia Dzia (grandpa) in Milwaukee, along with two […]

The challenge for the day was “smile,” and this goofy picture immediately came to mind. […]

Slurping Turtle
I know you should never judge a book by its cover, and the same should be said for restaurants. That said, I’m guilty of both. So it came as no surprise that when the opportunity to try Slurping Turtle came my way, I couldn’t say no. The name, the logo…how could I resist? Slurping Turtle […]
