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

    Oh, Holy Night

    We have little room in our house for either the display or storage of extensive Christmas decorations. However, my daughter is fascintated with Nativity scenes. I walked into the living room and discovered that she fashioned this with Fisher Price farm animals, Mega Blocks dollhouse pieces and Barbies - I think she was inspired by the Angel Barbie she received last year. Note that "Baby Jesus" is portrayed by a princess Kelly doll.

    I was both touched and amused by her creativity and sincerity:

    This is so precious. It's making me smile all over.

    Frankly, I think Jesus would be honored to have Princess Kelly represent him. And I bet he wished his stable was so brightly colored.

    Gloriousness. Kids are so brilliant :)

    That's beautiful! And you are right, it's the sincerity that does it.

    That is amazing. And it is touching that she did that herself. You've got a good one there, Brandy.
