Happy Hump Day! I can’t believe it’s Wednesday already, but I’m so glad! Bring on the weekend! — If you’re a regular around here, you might already know that I made three special drinks over the weekend while I was camping. (If you’re new here, Hi & Welcome! Seriously try...

Over the weekend, I finally made some Sangria. I always thought that Sangria was difficult to make and very time consuming, but it’s not. It’s actually fairly easy and it tastes delicious. My mom even drank it, which is so rare! She said it tasted just like grape juice. I used one of my wines from my...

I am really tired from this past weekend. I probably could have spent all day sleeping if I didn’t have to work, but bills need paid and such is life. We spent the weekend at Ferryboat Campsites in Liverpool, PA. Which is runs right along side of the Susquehanna River. I took Friday off of work, so I had the...

I’ve been sick since Monday morning, so I’ve spend the last few days on the couch, wrapped up in a blanket, taking swigs of NyQuil and watching HGTV. But, I’m finally back at work today and since I haven’t done anything crafty lately and I’ve been anxiously awaiting the wine tour to...

My Aunt’s & Uncle’s own a business, so every year they have a picnic at a Reading Phillies game, since they sponsor them. This is the first year that Travis, my brother & myself went, and we had a blast. So much of a blast, that my brother had to learn to drive manual real fast, and drove us...

Hey All! I just wanted to drop in and let y’all know that I won’t be participating in the Pinterest Challenge this time. Life kind of got in the way, plus I don’t have a car at the moment so I can’t just go to Michael’s afterward and scan the aisles for an hour. But I’m anxious...

Wow, I’m tired. We spent the past weekend up in James Creek, Pennsylvania at Trough Creek State Park and Raystown Lake. I spent so many weekends here during my childhood, but this was my first weekend back since the summer of 2007. It was a little weird going back, the best way to describe it is what I told...

Having a day off of work in the middle of the week really throws you off. I kept thinking yesterday that it was Saturday, and I needed to take more pictures for the Weekend Wrap-Up, and then I’d have to tell myself that it was only Wednesday.
Anyway, for my USA readers, how was your 4th of July? Travis...

If you’ve been a reader of Mailbox Journey since just about the beginning, you might remember what our living room looked like when we first moved into our apartment in November. We had minimal furniture and it just looked cold. It definitely screamed basement apartment and a lack of windows.
For all of my...
