Lunch at JK’s Forest Grove Grocery
A few weeks ago while visiting my grandparents in Winchester, Kentucky, we stopped at JK's Forest Grove Grocery for lunch. It's an unassuming name and location - but this place is a slice of Americana! Located on Old Boonesboro Road, JK's is a long time Winchester treasure. After 10 years of business downtown, they moved out to an… Continue reading Lunch at JK’s Forest Grove Grocery
Favorite Snacks!
Today's post isn't inspirational, instructional or even very informational. (How did you like that alliteration?!) It's just a fun post for your Wednesday. I sat down to film a vlog, and lo and behold Peggy MacMillan got in the frame! If you need a dose of cute kitty in your life, or if you're curious what my… Continue reading Favorite Snacks!

I'm joining Christy Jordan from Southern Plate in her "Vlog Every Day in June" challenge for food bloggers! Although I'm not purely a food blogger, I do talk about food an awful lot.

Graduation Gift {For the Preppy Graduate}
The end of the school year is upon us which means that graduation season is in full swing right now. You probably know at least a couple people that are graduating from either high school or college, which has sent you out to the stores in search of graduation presents. My sister-in-law is graduating from high school… Continue reading Graduation Gift {For the Preppy Graduate}
Kate Middleton And Having It All Together
My reaction to Kate Middleton's stunning appearance 10 hours after giving birth is a little different than most. While my social media feeds rolled with comments in absolute disdain of the idea that someone would look so lovely in her condition, I found motivation from the photos. I read blog posts that assured women it's okay… Continue reading Kate Middleton And Having It All Together
Observations In The Aftermath of #LillyForTarget
If you've been on social media or anywhere in blogland in the last several days, you've heard about the #LillyForTarget drama. I don't have anything against those who shopped the launch online or in store, although I hope you minded your manners while doing so. 🙂 Lilly Pulitzer isn't that appealing to me so the… Continue reading Observations In The Aftermath of #LillyForTarget

Writing a blog is much like keeping a journal. I love to go back and look at what I wrote this time last year - I especially love re-reading my High Five For Friday posts.

Blogging and Pen Pals
Blogging in 2015 is like having a pen pal in 1995. Back in the 90's, I subscribed to Focus on the Family's tween magazine called Brio. They offered to match you up with a pen pal who also read the magazine. My pen pal's name was Megan, a red-headed girl from Texas. We wrote letters… Continue reading Blogging and Pen Pals
Is Your Home A Safe Place?
I'm not talking about whether or not you have an ADT security system. I'm not asking if you have outlet plugs or baby gates at the top of your stairs. I'm not talking about the crime rate in your neighborhood. Is your home a place where your family is safe from the criticism, bullying, comparison… Continue reading Is Your Home A Safe Place?
