and two of my kids are recovering from a viral throat infection which caused Boo’s temperature to soar over 104. He shivered so hard the bed shook with him. He was feeling better yesterday which really just means he had the energy to whine. He and his little sister. Sister #3 joined in for the [...]
Must-See Mississippi: Emerald Mound
January 24, 2012 by Leave a Comment
Yes, I know…it’s a hill with grass on top. That’s what I always kind of thought before…which really was the result of a bad memory of a very long day trip to Philadelphia as a child only to be severely disappointed when we arrived at Nanih Waiya just in time to take a look and [...]

If you’re interested in taking a step back in time, visit Fulmer’s General Store in Richton. There is a wonderful little store, complete with a restaurant.

I went on a field trip with my daughter to the Grand Village of the Natchez Indians, and let me tell you…it was wonderful!

The museum features various exhibits throughout the year, and the current exhibit was a hit with our kids…both of them! The Amazing Butterflies exhibit teaches kids (and adults!) so much about the life cycle of butterflies…and in [...]

I went with my daughter’s class to the MS Children’s Museum last week, and let me tell you: it was fun! From the floor of the entrance, which is illuminated with a rainbow of colored lights, to the ceiling, and everything in between (including benches that light up as you sit on them), the architecture [...]

When I was younger, my sister would participate in Vicksburg’s Run Through History every year. Well, last week, my family and I did a “Walk Through History,” which was much more my pace. We visited the Vicksburg Riverfront Murals, and they are beautiful! They tell the story of Vicksburg’s history one beautiful painting at a [...]
Must-See-Mississippi: Broma’s Deli in Brookhaven
February 22, 2011 by Leave a Comment
Stopped for lunch at Broma’s Deli in Brookhaven today. It’s a great place for fresh, tasty food with a hometown flavor…reminds me of McAllister’s back in the day when the only one was in the old station on University Avenue in Oxford. You know, before they started pre-packaging their brownies and stopped selling Kentucky Pie.(Don’t [...]

This looks like such a fun exhibit, and we can’t wait to go! My daughter loves butterflies…so much so we once had a butterfly birthday party…so I expect she’ll loves this, too! It sounds a bit like the Underground exhibit at the Audubon Insectarium, and we loved that! If you get the chance to see [...]
