Sharing some photos from round two of our trip to the pumpkin farm!  We woke up to a light dusting of snow across my husband’s car in the driveway and at noon today it’s…

Something that you may not know about me is that I just got fitted for contacts for the first time this past spring.  I’ve always had 20/20 vision, but I noticed a change shortly…

All summer long it seemed like our family was spread out throughout the house avoiding touching anyone or anything — this may sound personal, but I swear it was just because of the lack…

Happy October!  The beginning of this month marks the rolling out of our Halloween decorations, scary movie marathons, and the start of fireplace season. Since this is my husband’s first October in Buffalo, I…
