I’m a true 80’s child who LOVES a good time. And every year, Robin’s BlogHop rocks! I’m so excited!! [Think: poo­dle skirt meets jelly shoes.] Please feel free to check out my Meet Jen page, oh and if you have some time to check out a cou­ple of my posts, I think you’ll dig these: A Name […]

Recently we were given incred­i­ble seats to a St. Louis Car­di­nal game. I’m not much of a base­ball fan, but when you’re in the 10th row, right behind home plate, even I know it’s worth going to. It was incred­i­bly hot, but it was so much fun with the boys. I was espe­cially excited to see […]
