I have been living a pretty charmed life these days. A trip to Ohio to see all of my Ohio family that I could see and now a trip to North Carolina to catch up with family and friends. It is what I love the most---being with family and friends and just living in the moment. One thing that I loved was being able to go to church on Sunday to the church that Chris and I and the boys attended for almost 9 years when we lived in North Carolina. It was at this church, Fair View UMC in Mount … [Read more...]

Earlier this year Chris and I were on a quest to visit a lot of different places in the Mason City area and beyond that we had not visited previously.

So we visited this cute little diner called Suzie Q Cafe which is located in downtown Mason City on 2nd Street, NW.

Nature Loving Teapot on Teapot Tuesday

This sweet teapot was a gem I picked up while I was in Faribault, MN celebrating Audrey's birthday (from Minnesota Prairie Roots). This one was at a lovely shop called The Nook and Cranny and it was one of a whole plethora that caught my eye but this one made its way home with me. If you are even in the area you definitely need to check this gem of a shop out because they are loaded with antiques and gifts galore that just may need to make a trip home in your car. You have a … [Read more...]
