Recently, I wrapped up the last Harry Potter book, thus ending the series. I started last summer and it was only fair to start from the beginning. What I mean by that is I tried reading the books before. It was 2018 and I was looking for something to keep me occupied. I took advantageContinue reading “The Best of Hogwarts!”

Well, it’s official. We’ve begun the process of closing the pool. Despite the forecast calling for warmer temperatures next week, likely summer’s last stand, the writing was on the wall. Morning temperatures in the 40s and 50s mean the water is cold and won’t be warming up that quick. I spent more time in theContinue reading “Closing Down the Pool!”

Thursday night, I drove to Market District in Murrysville. It was a special trip and I was planning to use my gift cards from my birthday and the dinner to purchase some pumpkin spice and fall-themed treats. This night was just the beginning as my shopping spree went into Friday as I bought a fewContinue reading “Pumpkin Spice 🎃 🍂 Shopping Recap!”

When I look back at August, I saw some missed opportunities. But, I also had days where I made the most of everything too. Part of the reason for those missed opportunities was some busy stretches at work and having to go around vacation schedules; thus, leaving me tired. However, I was able to accomplishContinue reading “A Recap of August”

The month of August has come to an end, and now it’s time to look forward to Fall and the new month ahead. Football is back as well with Penn State playing West Virginia in Morgantown and Clemson and top ranked Georgia among the key early games. Thursday night is the kickoff of the 2024Continue reading “A Look Ahead to September 🍂”

This coming Thursday is my night off and I plan to go shopping for some awesome Fall food items and maybe some decor. First, I’ll stop at Giant Eagle or Market District (therefore I’ll be going to Murrysville or Monroeville) and use my gift cards. Maybe I’ll round out the trip by shopping for FallContinue reading “Pumpkin Spice Shopping Spree and Tour!”

It’s been fun for the last year but, after Friday I will be finished with the Harry Potter series. I’m proud of myself for accomplishing the difficult task of having read all seven books. I might say I even say I would have made Gramma Gaffron (R.I.P. 🪦) proud too. I believe she only madeContinue reading “Farewell Hogwarts!”

This first of two weekend blogs will take a look back at our Night Turn Appreciation meal and our meeting Wednesday night. I’ll talk about staying true to myself in my fashion journey. Also, Mr. Clougherty and I resumed the Dinner Series at Don Patron. Wednesday night we celebrated our store and our crew withContinue reading “Staying True to Myself!”

Despite the title, this blog is not a preview of the upcoming NFL season. I’m a lifestyle blogger and I want to call myself a fashion and food blogger as well. But more often, I’ll call myself the former. As I write today’s post the sun is setting (figuratively) on another summer vacation for kidsContinue reading “Countdown to Kickoff!”

The Summer of 2024 has gone by fast. Kids will be back in school soon, and some districts start this week. Look for my back to school shoutouts this week on the socials. Along with that comes a forecast for the first day of classes. I’ll see my niece off to school this week asContinue reading “It’s All for the Best!”
