Spellbound

Books. They have a way of leaving me spellbound. The ability to lure me into other worlds, times and places will always have me dizzy with delight. Fiction. My preferred genre calls out to me many titles that I am easily overwhelmed by the sheer amount of titles on the shelf that I could choose… Continue reading Spellbound

Lancaster City is known for its abundance of dining options. From its coffee shops like Passenger to its brunch spots like On Orange and its cool and eclectic spaces like Zoetropolis, there is no shortage of spaces to grab a bite to eat while visiting one of the coolest towns in Pennsylvania.

Renew With A Reno

When I walked into my 122 year old home I knew right then and there that it was for me and my family. The previous owners had done a beautiful job renovating that home, though nothing was elaborate, it was well done. I did, however, imagine a dream master bedroom with an attached bath and… Continue reading Renew With A Reno

The Other Central Park

Everyone knows about ’THE’ Central Park, but not many know about another Central Park. Lancaster, PA is home to a large beautiful park that is dubbed ’Lancaster’s Central Park.’ And it is just that, a smaller version of NY’s Central Park-though not the reason it is called Lancaster Central Park. The 544 acres of park… Continue reading The Other Central Park

It is often a weekend project because making cookies can be a daunting task, but also one filled with laughter, Christmas music and clouds of flour dust in the air… Continue reading Christmas Movies with a Cookie

City Girl Finds Country Fun

I absolutely adore where I live. An intriguing historical city with a perfect blend of buildings and homes that pay homage to the birth of the city back in the mid-1700's and a more modern flare that one would find in NYC. It's a quaint spot where people know each other, yet you meet someone… Continue reading City Girl Finds Country Fun

Once Upon A Time….

I have always loved books. My parents probably used to wonder if I was alright because I preferred to stay inside and read rather than go outside to ride my bike with friends. I could read before I entered kindergarten and went through books like people went through toilet paper and hand sanitizer at the… Continue reading Once Upon A Time….

Autumn Greetings

As I walk my little yorkie down to the park I breath in the crisp autumn air. Some of the trees couldn't wait to show off their autumn splendor and have already burst into color while others are still as green as they were in the summer. A few trees seem to be testing out… Continue reading Autumn Greetings
