Have Bike Will Travel

by

I am so excited I can barely contain myself. I have not ridden a bike in 35 years. This summer, my son bought himself a bike and my husband had a bike given to him. The only person who didn't have a bike was me! Now, naturally, I had to test out the son's bike. He has a really high bike because he's almost 6' tall, but I'm 5'10" so I figured it would be okay for me as well. I was wrong! With … [Read more...] about Have Bike Will Travel

WWE Live Coming to Richmond Coliseum January 27

by

If there is one thing that I can count on like clockwork in our home, it's my husband being glued to his WWE shows on Monday and Tuesday every week. When he's not watching the live broadcasts, he's watching matches on the WWE Network app on our Amazon FireStick. So I figured, what better way for him to celebrate his birthday then to send him and his three sons off to the Richmond Coliseum for … [Read more...] about WWE Live Coming to Richmond Coliseum January 27

International Beer Day Festivities and Recipes #IntlBeerDay

by

I grew up just minutes from the oldest brewery company in America, D.G. Yuengling & Son, in Pottsville, Pennsylvania. I honestly cannot remember a single home that didn't have a Yuengling or two in the fridge or a keg on tap in the garage when I was growing up. So naturally, as a teenager, when we would have our undercover bush parties out in the corn fields on the hill, Yuengling was in … [Read more...] about International Beer Day Festivities and Recipes #IntlBeerDay

It's been said among the locals that we are fast becoming the "New York City of the South" here in Richmond, and it is a statement that rings true more so every … [Read more...] about Amazing Dining Options in Richmond for Valentine’s Day

This Week In Richmond

by

I am getting super excited at the moment. My sister and her family (who live in Pennsylvania) are coming to spend Thanksgiving with me and mine! Naturally, I can't allow my sister's first visit to Richmond to go by without hitting all the 'hot spots' so I've been making a list of all the things that I want to show her - and then once she gets here she can pick what she wants to see. Lord knows … [Read more...] about This Week In Richmond

Richmond Metro Zoo Field Trip

by

I have to tell you, I am a sucker for zoo field trips of any kind.  I am fascinated with being able to see animals from around the world that I would never have an opportunity to see in real life.  So when school started in September and I noticed a field trip scheduled for the entire 3rd grade to the Richmond Metro Zoo in November – I was chomping at the bit to sign up as a chaperone … [Read more...] about Richmond Metro Zoo Field Trip
