I was lucky enough to get Good Friday (and the following Saturday) off so I could have the opportunity to attend a baby shower for my “fashionable” sister and brother in law. Baby Chloe is set to make her arrival later this Spring and I can’t wait to meet my future niece. We arrived justContinue reading “Celebrating the Parents to Be!”

Remembering the Spartan Swimming Pool!
On Saturday, the Hempfield Aqua Club held their meet at the Spartan Swimming Pool on Hempfield Area High School campus. It was a bittersweet day for the aqua club.

Be Careful How You Start Your Day!
Saturday morning (well, afternoon), I woke up earlier than I wanted to. I was contemplating whether or not to go to the gym before the severe weather was set to arrive.

It’s time to sit back and count down to Christmas. I’ve officially wrapped up shopping for the holiday, finishing up yesterday afternoon. It wasn’t hard to wrap the last few presents this morning.

After the Storm
The snow on the ground is melting as the sun shines on this cold mid-December day. Tuesday was nice compared to the cold, snowy weekend we just had. Pittsburgh received seven inches of snow from Saturday’s storm. After the snow ended, we dealt with two days of bitter cold temperatures. It wasn’t even worth goingContinue reading “After the Storm”
