With the little ones visiting my parents in Pittsburgh, my husband and I have been enjoying a little staycation here in Indy. I’m so glad we made it to the Indiana Medical History Museum because it was really interesting and even hubby said it was a good find. I couldn’t wait to start writing about it [...]

OK, so I told you all about the staycation hubby and I have planned while the kids are visiting my family. We’re going to hit the town and I’m really looking forward to the Indiana Artisan Marketplace. Hubby and I really enjoy wine tasting, so I thought hitting a winery would be perfect. When I [...]

My kids are going to spend a few days with my parents in Pittsburgh so that means hubby and have a lot of free time to fill…call it a staycation if you will. Of course, we have some chores around the house to get done and I plan on sleeping A LOT…but we’re also going [...]

OK, so I’ve given you a list of 6 healthier alternatives to white sugar and I have to say that raw honey and maple syrup are my favorites. We use both on a regular basis and I love that they are both available from Indiana farms. As a bonus to supporting local businesses, we also [...]

Editors Note: Indianapolis recently held a gluten free expo which I was not able to attend. Fortunately for us, my friend Pam Newlin was able to go in my place. She has guided me through my quest to heal my family through diet and I knew she’d be the best choice for this post. Pam [...]

I am a pretty frugal person, so it’s not often that I come across a money saving tip I haven’t heard before. But recently I’ve been buying a lot more fresh produce and I’ve been looking everywhere for ideas to save money. Then I came across this post from Keeper of the Home and I [...]

We have finally gotten a bit of a break from the scalding summer heat and this cooler weather is reminding me of our trip to the Indiana Dunes…and making me wish we were there now! It was such a great trip, that I can’t wait to go back again. Because we’re working diligently to live [...]

Last January, the Monster Truck Jam came to Indy and while I really, really, really wanted to take my oldest son, I just couldn’t justify the high price tag. Sure, we could have purchased the peanut heaven tickets for $20 a pop, but what fun is that? It would still be $60 for all three [...]

It’s been on my radar for a while and today we finally made it to the Indiana Transportation Museum. It’s a small outdoor facility, mostly consisting of a few engines, coaches and cabooses you can board for an up close look. So don’t expect an elaborate set up, but it’s absolutely perfect for the train lover in [...]
