I came across this quote the other day by John Muir, and it instantly resonated with me. Whenever I’m feeling anxious, or need to clear my head, I go outside. It’s a great way to hit the reset button during the day. Sometimes it’s just a 20 minute walk around my neighborhood park, sometimes longer, but the fresh air and sunshine seem to be an instant … Continue reading Spring Stroll
I love this time of year. Everyone comes out of hiding, and the longer days and evenings really help lift my spirit and and my family’s. It’s a welcome relief from our Winter routine of snuggling up with a Friday night movie, and going to indoor bounce houses (shoot me now). I’m ready to de-thaw from the weight of my Uggs and bring on Spring: … Continue reading The Weekend Guide
I loved the snow storm that came through St. Louis yesterday. It was a great excuse to hunker down, hang out and cozy up with the family and we did just that. But I have to admit, with Snow Day #2, I’m feeling a bit antsy now. Call it a case of Cabin Fever meets Spring Fever, but I’m ready for warmer weather, sunny days … Continue reading The Weekend Guide
Dear Saint Louis, Or should I call you Lou? (After all, we have known each other for quite a few years now). You’ve always managed to stay close to my heart, despite a few break ups here and there, which, let’s face it, were my fault. I thought the grass was greener somewhere else. Thanks for understanding and sticking by me. I really appreciate it. And … Continue reading Dear Lou
What to do in the Lou this weekend? Here’s a look at some places to go, eat, see and be seen. Wherever you are, have a wonderful weekend! xx Continue reading The Weekend Guide
How is it that January is already over? This past month has flown by, and although St. Louis has been teasing us with Spring-like temps, today it definitely feels like Winter, which means I think a bit of R & R is in order. I hope you have a wonderful weekend, wherever you may be. xx Continue reading The Weekend Guide
Is it me or did this week go by unbelievably sloooow? With the kids off school for the MLK holiday, I thought this week would have zipped by. Factor in the St. Louis weather…sunny one day, snowing the next. (Stop teasing us and just BE Winter, please!) My head is spinning and I’m ready to kick off my Uggs and relax. Here are a few … Continue reading The Weekend Guide
News broke last night that our beloved hometown baseball hero, Stan Musial, also known as ‘Stan the Man’, passed away at the age of 92. For Cardinal’s fans, and those who grew up following his career, this was bittersweet news. For me, it wasn’t because I personally knew the man, or even knew a lot about his career (I had to ask my husband, who was … Continue reading Mr. Musial
One of the biggest misnomers about living in St. Louis is that there is ‘nothing to do.’ I’m always surprised to hear this, and it begs the question, “Where are you looking?’ On any given day, there are actually many things to do, many cool, fun, fabulous, and even free things to do. But like any city with a bit of mystery, you have to … Continue reading The Weekend Guide
I just recently rediscovered the library, thanks in part to my kids learning how to read, and their voracious appetite and mutual love for the children’s series, The Magic Tree House, which has 49 books and counting. We usually take a short stroll down the street to our local library, but Central Library in downtown just re-opened a month ago, after undergoing a $70 million … Continue reading Central Library
