SNOW! | Keeping It Real

I'm Keeping It Real every Saturday with a snapshot from my week.

We woke up to about 4 inches of snow this morning. My kids are anxious to get outside to play and wear the snow boots that they got for Christmas.

Did it snow this week where you live? Let us know in the comments.

Have a great weekend!

PA Farm Show Fun | Keeping It Real

I'm Keeping It Real every Saturday with a few snapshots from my week.

Every January, Harrisburg, PA hosts the Pennsylvania Farm Show, the largest indoor agricultural expo in the country, and we only live 10 minutes from the event. According to its website, there are 6000 animals, 10,000 competitive exhibits, 290 commercial exhibits, 400,000 visitors, and really amazing milkshakes.

It is quite the event that showcases "the good work being done on the farm, in the field, in the home and in the classroom, bridging the gap between "farm gate and dinner plate." (www.farmshow.state.pa.us)

We go every year, since it is so close to our home. The entrance is free, but it can cost up to $10 to park. Fortunately, this year we found a free parking spot that was within walking distance to the show.

I love walking through the dairy and cattle exhibit, although my kids thought it was pretty stinky.

What are they thinking about??

The butter sculpture is a big attraction.

We watched the high school girls' rodeo, although we arrived a little late and ended up at the very top.

Fun times in PA.

Do you live in PA? Are you or did you go to the PA Farm Show?

Keeping It Real: My Home Office Mess

I write fairly anonymously (that might change soon), but it is limiting to one's blog. You might feel like you don't really know me and that is not my intent.

My new weekly series, Keeping It Real, will be brief. Keeping It Real will be a snapshot of something that happened during my week to give you a little insight into my life; it will be the good, the bad, and the ugly.

This week - the ugly: I present to you my home office!

I'm a piler:

I have battled with my home office before. We have a love/hate relationship. "Clean my desk" will be a priority on my to-do list next week.

What does your desk look like? Let us know in the comments.
