Welcome 2014!

It is hard to believe we have surpassed another year, but I do have to admit that I enjoy welcoming in a new one!  A new year symbolizes many things:  renewal, peace, a fresh start, etc.  I no longer make the typical “New Year’s resolutions.”  Instead, I think of ways to enrich my life.  This Read More

Happy Halloween (A Day After)

Happy Halloween (a day after)!!!  I hope your evening was full of treats and not so much tricks.  The Hunter household enjoyed a lovely family Halloween party hosted by none other than our daughter, Elizabeth.  I’m so impressed by her that I just have to share… The idea for her party all started with this Read More

One Year of Blogging and a Giveaway!

Today we are celebrating one year of blogging!  WOW!  Time flies and it’s been so fun!  Here are the top 5 things I’ve learned since this blogging journey began… 1.  I absolutely love to write!  During school, I would procrastinate when it came to writing which truly is not my nature.  I’m not sure if Read More

First Day of School

Connecticut: Part 4

We finally ventured onto the interstate and headed down towards Mystic.  There were absolutely NO billboards or advertisements along their highways.  It made for such a pleasant drive.  As we headed towards Mystic and the coast, we detoured over to New Haven to see Yale University.  Such a treat with its amazing history and architecture!

Connecticut: Part 3

We adored the quaint towns as we meandered across the state of CT!  We happened upon a wonderful family owned garden center that also housed the sweetest “farmer’s market.”  And antique shops popped up all over the state… Everything was so lush! The concrete was fun to see! I loved this bunny honoring our “Bunny” Read More

Connecticut: Part 2

Antique shopping was a true treat in Connecticut!  We honestly thought prices would be extremely high; however, we found this to be quite the opposite.  We were pleasantly surprised with the affordability and definitely took advantage.  Our first full day was meandering our way to Falls Village, and this day was truly delightful as Mother Read More
