An Afternoon Date

Since being here, there hasn't been a lot of opportunity for our usual mother/son dates.  Let's just say Logan and I have similar taste in "treats" and so when a friend offered up an afternoon at the Choco Museo - believe me, I signed us both up! We learned about coco pods, grinding the seeds … Continue reading An Afternoon Date

Homesick

October 6, 2016 / leavingmainstreet / 3 Comments

I hesitated to write this because I didn't want to be a debbie-downer, but life is not all roses and rainbows. Well it only took me a few weeks to miss home.  I'm going to keep it real on this blog, and try not to sugar coat every experience.  Some are wonderful, some are not … Continue reading Homesick
