Last Friday was a good day for my site: 1. The St. Charles Community website offered a nice lead-in to my post on Picasso’s Coffee House in St. Charles. 2. The Cuba Mural Project blog wrote an post about me, linking to my post on the Cuba, MO Race to the Rocker, a 4-mile road race culminating at [...] Happy Spring Training, St. Louis Cardinals Fans. This picture, taken at a Jack in the Box in Weldon Spring, Missouri, is [...]  Picasso's Coffee House, photo by MilliGFunk Work required me to travel to St. Charles yesterday, so I took advantage of the opportunity to have a quick cup of coffee in Historic Downtown St. Charles with my friend Elizabeth (@ekcutshall) and two of her three kiddos.

What do I know about O’Fallon? 1. Established in 1856 2. Located in St. Charles County, just west of St. Louis 3. Home of the Celebration of Lights 4. Home to O’Fallon [...] The latest St. Louis-area twitter meet-up took place on Tuesday night in O’Fallon, Missouri. A small group of hard core tweeps bundled up for the cool air and fought St. Louis rainy day traffic to walk through the Celebration of Lights. @meghoulihan gave us the VIP walk-through, complete with behind-the-scenes stories about the display. The total tweet-up head [...] McKinnis Home, photo by smalltowngirl On Sunday I took my mom on a small town blogging adventure to the Washington, Missouri Holiday House Tour. One of my favorite features of the homes we saw was the fireplace in The McKinnis House, which was decorated in letters that spelled “Believe”, along with lots of whimsical, wintery accents [...] McKinnis Family Tree, photo by smalltowngirl Today was a mother-daughter blogging adventure in the town of Washington, Missouri. Washington is on the Missouri River west of St. Louis, and while it’s not a tiny town, it’s downtown has a historic, small, river town feel about it. Decorated for Christmas, the town left a nice impression on [...] |
