This past weekend, I was given the opportunity to attend Bloggy Con for the first time. I am not one of those outgoing people, so I knew it would be a challenge for me to talk to others and make friends. I even considered backing out at the last minute.

As soon as I got there, here came Angie from Dayton Mom-Spot to introduce herself. I was so thankful she did!…

Should grown women wear leggings? Hell no. 4. If you could change your name to any other name, would you? And what would it be? Wow. I don’t know. Something that people…

Okay… so here we are at the Rolling Ridge Ranch. This is THE best part of Amish Country. Definitely check into it if you go. You can visit their website here or check out my review from last year’s visit here. I have to tell you a little bit of the background story, so you appreciate the camel pictures in their entirety. We were the first group through the ranch gates. You ride in a horse-drawn wagon and are able to feed the animals during the ride. One of the first animals we encountered was the camel in the picture below.…

1. The Wednesday Hodgepodge this week falls on John Chapman’s birth date. He’s more famously known as Johnny Appleseed…what’s your favorite variety of apple? Definitely Granny Smiths. I don’t like raw apples though… they have to be cooked or made into applesauce. 2. When did you last say ‘ick’? Last night. LOL. Troy was sitting on my lap with his (fake) snake I bought him in Amish Country and was making it kiss me. 3. Do you think there’s a generation gap? Explain. Heck yes!
