Dress Yourself
Question: How old were you when you learned to dress yourself? You probably don’t even remember, because you were so young! I know I had a “Dressy Bessy” doll to teach me how to button buttons, snap snaps, lace laces, zipper zippers…uh…you get the idea. Arms over the head, shirt on. Pants, one leg at…

Awards Season
Please forgive me for being tardy to the party – awards season always seems to slip by me – but I’m finally back into a good swing and I am taking charge and taking this on RIGHT NOW! Earlier this month were the Enchanted Blog Awards… Rules: ♥If you have received this blog award, kindly…

Oh We Go – Owego!
If I couldn’t live in New York City, I think I could be happy in Owego, New York. This plucky small town just recovered from a devastating flood less than six months ago that put most of the town and everything I visited underwater. The Susquehanna River, and future site of Gateway Park Owego will…

Snow Day!

Your excitement mounts, you see this soup being every soup you dreamed of and more. This could be my new favourite…

I Remember…
…when you made me a mix tape in high school. I thought it was a nice gesture, perhaps even a romantic one, until I listened to the Weird Al track. It was a parody of the Aqua song “Barbie Girl” all about an “Ugly Girl” who, unfortunately, sounded a lot like me. And from that…

Remember the Times
Ever wake up at 11am on a Saturday, you don’t have to work, it’s nice and cold outside, and just… go through old facebook photos of yourself? Maybe you should try to be a little more narcissistic, because it is AWESOME. Case in point: I found these old photos of me from YEARS back and…
