My aunt used to ask us to take turns praying before our dinner. My four-year-old cousin prayed one day and thanked God for Harry Potter. We all laughed and thought it was adorable. Now, however, on Thanksgiving years and years later, I realize that I really am thankful for Harry Potter. Though I don’t believe I have … More harry potter for thanksgiving
It’s been a while. Too long. The blogging has (temporarily) commenced, but our travels, thankfully, have not. For personal reasons, it’s been a bit more difficult to get anywhere too far from our normal lives, but we’ve ventured as much as we could.

But, only to those of us whom are up for perusing an area that is not consistently picturesque. In other words, … More Brewerytown
In an attempt for one of us to get work done and the other to explore (with some quality time in between), we headed out for Northern Liberties. Just a subway ride away from West Philly (about 25 minutes), we arrived a bit after lunch time. So glad we took the trip out. The walk from the subway … More Northern Liberties
Birthdays in Philadelphia are fun because we (Matt and I) can justify doing anything we want without feeling guilty for spending too much time or money on one day. Last year, I thought that my plan for Matt’s birthday was the best plan ever because it consisted of Yards Brewing Company, and Edgar Allen Poe. … More birthday philadelphia
Philadelphia is a big place, especially from the perspective of two naive, newly-married twenty-two year olds who have no idea what they are doing in life. So when my husband and I decided to move to Philadelphia, we could have had an ending described as nothing short of catastrophic. However, as luck would have it, … More West Philadelphia
