Sponsored Post that includes affiliate links You all know I am a huge fan of the Shop Local Shop Small movement!

This shopping center is located just off the Rt. 29 bypass, conveniently a short drive off […]
Hello friends – and those newcomers to my blog who may stumble upon this post. I have a very specific request for a very special and heart-wrenching reason.

This post contains affiliate links. Hey all! I hope everyone enjoyed their 4th of July holiday.

Well, the poll results were interesting! No one wants me to write about fashion on here (really?), and I got a majority of votes towards people who want me to write about “Life in general.” “Wedding plans” was a close second place. Thanks for those of you who voted! I hope to start recalibrating my […]
