  If you’ve ever even just glanced at my blog, it’s no secret that one of my favorite hobbies to push is cross-country skiing, mainly because it’s so accessible, it’s relatively cheap (once you buy skis), and Pennsylvania is a great place to explore via ski (when it snows that is).

Bringing Back the Theme Party

Finally, it’s holiday time, one of my favorite times of the year, filled with gifts, music (I don’t know why so many people hate it, I’m pretty obsessed with Christmas music), bar crawls, peace on Earth and good will towards men.  However, one of my favorite parts of the holidays is the return of the house
