Touring St. Louis – Olive Oil, Underground Railroad, & Baseball

— Katy Flint4 Comments

Traveling from North Iowa to St. Louis is easier than ever thanks to Air Choice One and the Mason City Airport!

Thanks to a Twitter Chat and the folks at Visit Clear Lake, I found myself with 2 complimentary plane tickets at one point in life!  Here in North Iowa we are are lucky to have a small, nice, regional airport situated between Clear Lake and Mason City.  We are also lucky to have Air Choice One offering service out of this airport to Chicago and St. Louis!

Share Your World 2015, Week 10

— Katy Flint2 Comments

Well, due to life last week, I missed a week of Share Your World, so I’m excited to be back at it…even if it is at the end of the week!  I hope you enjoy my answers this week…make sure you keep reading because there might be a funny story about me as a young child! 😉

When you lose electricity in a storm, do you light the candles or turn on the flashlight? How many of each do you own? Both!  I love candles and have lots of them much to T’s dismay (I have candles at home and at work, so I’m covered on all bases!), so those would probably be the choice for constant light, but I’m sure for specific things or looking “in” things like cupboards, etc. flashlights would be used!

You are given $5,000 and the chance to exchange it for one of two envelopes. One envelope contains $50,000 and one contains $500. Do you make the trade? Why or why not?  My gut reaction is to keep the $5,000 because no matter what was in the other envelope, I would always have $5,000 more than I had prior!

Eating in St. Louis – Sawmill BBQ & Big Daddy’s

— Katy Flint9 Comments

This past weekend, R and I took a trip (courtesy of Air Choice One and the Clear Lake Chamber of Commerce) to see my father and mother in law who live about 30 minutes from downtown St. Louis (in Illinois). While there we ate some amazing food.  We love exploring locally owned restaurants and St. Louis (and the area), did not disappoint!

Garlic Roasted Broccoli

— Katy Flint11 Comments

I can eat broccoli and roasted is where healthy eating is at!  I enjoy a large variety of vegetables in almost anyway shape or form.  I’m also constantly looking for new ways to enjoy them so I will eat them more!  While the majority of my posts revolving around #TastyTuesday are family meal centered, I like to throw a healthy recipe in every now and then! The other day I made this and it was so delicious that I knew I had to share it with you all!

Dear Amy…

— Katy Flint14 Comments

3 days ago I lost someone new to my life, but she had managed to weave her way into my life on a level that I hadn’t quite understood until now and now there”s a big hole in my days and my life.

Dear Amy, 

I can’t believe you’re gone.  In fact, it doesn’t feel real except that I miss your Tweets, your Instagrams, and your Facebook posts.  I miss the photos of Patches and Spenser and the view from your home.  I miss a new selfie or seeing what you’ve been up to.  I miss you “favoriting” a Tweet or Instagram that I post.  I miss you commenting on my blog posts.
