I am an East Coast expatriate hiding out in the Midwest...

I am an urban gal living in the suburbs and occasionally hiding in the country

I am a yoga practitioner, fitness enthusiast, believer in the mind-body-spirit connection...

I am a mid-life "revert" to the Roman Catholic faith in which I was raised and which has become an enormous source of support, encouragement, inspiration, and joy in my life...

I am a mom, sister, daughter, and wife...

I am an explorer; adventurous and curious about the world and people around me...

I am educated in the formal sense but I gain insight through everyday living...

I created this blog at a time of great fear and apprehension in my life. I chose to sustain it because of the discoveries about myself and the world around me that it has revealed.



What you can expect to find here:
  • the documentation of a love-hate relationship with the greater Philadelphia area
  • reminiscing about the good-ole-days (the 80's!)
  • complaints about my various ailments and injuries, both real and imagined
  • pictures and stories of gardening, decorating, shopping, sewing
  • my love of irony
  • links to kooky news stories
  • way too much scatological musing for sane people

    7 Years Ago...

    ..I was recovering from giving birth to my daughter - yep, my lil' gal turned 7 today!

    We went out to dinner (she chose the restaurant, naturally) and inundated her with gifts from Justice, Hannah Anderson, Barnes & Noble, American Girl (Santa brought Felicity & Elisabeth; now we get to buy their accessories!) and some Game Boy cartridges.

    You'd think that having a birthday so close to Christmas would mean a pretty dry gift haul, but somehow my kid manages to clean up every year...

    Happy Birthday to the Birthday Girl. I think ages 7-10 are just the best. No pre-teen worries yet and old enough to be lots of and have lots of fun.....

    Happy Birthday to your Birthday Girl! Wow, almost a New Year baby!
    Just enough time to get her gift haul at the after Christmas sales?
