McKee’s Soul Food
You know how some people just seem to get lucky and win things? Yeah, we are not those people. Until we won “Bunny Bingo” over Easter hosted by Marshall Mainstreet. Included in our basket were some gift certificates for lunch at McKee’s Soul Food on N. Wellington St. downtown Marshall, TX. We were greeted at […]
Free & Fun Kid’s Summer Activities
Summertime can be a really challenging time for parents. We don’t want our kids to succumb to screen time overload but we can’t entertain them every minute either. Camps are great but many are pricey and they often don’t accept kids under 5 or 6. While most of us would be content to shuttle our […]
Kitts Kornbread Sandwich & Pie Bar
A cornbread sandwich sounds good in theroy but doesn’t cornbread just crumble apart? This is the question I asked our waitress at Kitt’s. She informed us the cornbread holds up just fine and it’s a top secret family recipe. Intrigued, I ordered the Original and The Husband ordered The Texan. My choice was a simple […]
Core Yoga At The Firestation
I sat down with Megan Chacos of Core Yoga at The Fire Station to learn more about her studio. Originally from Oklahoma, Megan says she never wants to leave East Texas. Lucky for us Megan has made a big impact here in Marshall, TX by opening up Core Yoga in the original fire station building. […]
Juicy Berries From Panola Orchard
One of the things I miss about where we lived in California was the proximity of a pick your own farm, called Underwood Family Farms. Last year our daughter picked more strawberries than she could carry. I happened upon Panola Orchard & Gardens from a friend’s social media post. Her kids looked like they were […]
How Yoga Has Changed My Life
I have practiced yoga throughout my adult life. The only time period I was really devoted was when I was pregnant. I went multiple times per week and I truly believe it helped ease most aches and pains associated with carrying around a small human 24/7. That being said, I stopped going once small human […]
The Best Run Is In Color
I have a love hate relationship with running. I love that it’s a free form of exercise. I hate that you have to run. When I heard about the Maverick Mile Color Run I decided it was a good opportunity to dust off my running shoes. Since my entry fee would be benefitting the Marshall […]
Powerful Plants From River Hill Nursery
I have a jade plant and a spider plant that are over 25 years old. These resilient plants are super easy to propagate and I have shared them with many, many friends. When all you have to do is stick a pup in some soil or water and boom – you have a new plant […]
Why You Should Attract Hummingbirds
Coming from a City on the West Coast we didn’t encounter as much wildlife as we do here in East Texas. One thing we enjoyed all year was watching the hummingbirds battle over the feeder. It never got cold enough for them to migrate where we lived and it wasn’t long before we could tell […]
Caddo Lake Pond Dipping
I have grown up as a self-proclaimed “beach girl”. Lakes are OK as long as I can see the bottom. Ponds not so much. I get a little creeped out not knowing what’s down there. We went Pond Dipping with Ranger Kelsey at Caddo Lake State Park. Mystery solved, now we know exactly what is […]
