"Field show!" was the name of the game this week as the little Indiana segment on PBS' state-wide program, The Weekly Special, joined me in Rensselaer, Indiana to talk small town. What a fun show! But there's always more where that came from, isn't there! Let's see...ice cream cake that resembles a certain popular brand but that you can make yourself, revisiting to great small town destinations in images, and a bit of browsing at a lovely antique shop in Peru.

Yes, there's WAS another little Indiana segment on PBS this week! This time, I featured Delphi, Indiana and as much of the fun as I could cram into one segment! But that's not all! I had a chance to do a little "research" at a generations old ice cream parlor, had a bit more at an organic cafe and corner grocery all rolled into one, and revisited an old favorite or two in images.

For starters, there was another little Indiana segment on PBS' state-wide program The Weekly Special. This time I checked out Huntingburg, Indiana! This past week also featured a gorgeous bed and breakfast, a neat drive in ice cream shop, plus a book review from an Indiana author. Of course, there's a recipe in there and a cookbook review (oh, fun!) plus an images recap of an artsy hub. Read More »

This week was so much fun! We enjoyed coffee and more at a gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan friendly coffee shop, visited a humongous candle company, revisited a few favorites in images, and still had time to throw in a tasty smoothie recipe, too.

For starters, little Indiana was back on PBS as part of The Weekly Special to highlight the fun in Cambridge City, Indiana (this is part of Indiana's Antique Alley don't'cha know!). There's also a great coffee shop in Nashville, a snazzy women's boutique in Salem, and so much more! I hope this week helps motivate you to travel to the small towns around you, too. Read More »

What a week! It's warming up (finally) and that means that those fantastic mom and pop ice cream shops are opening! Yay! We checked one out in a small town, as well as a very stylish clothing (and accessories and shoes) shop, plus revisited Indiana's tallest waterfall in images. There was still enough time to whip up our boys' new favorite lunch: cheese fondue and to browse through a wonderful cookbook that spans the Historic National Road. It's no surprise that a large section is devoted to Indiana! We Hoosiers know our way around the kitchen! Read More »

Spring will be here eventually, I'm sure. So? You have planning to do! We discovered a fantastic shabby chic haven in Scottsburg, enjoyed the gorgeous archways in Centerville, and stayed at an adorable guest cottage in Madison--and revisit an Indiana barbecue joint in images. Banana Cream Pie was on the menu and wow was that great! Comfort food must have been the theme this week because Brownies were part of it, too! Read More »

This week marked another little Indiana on PBS segment! This time, I explored Covington. We also checked out a gleaming venue in Rensselaer, browsed through a fashionable women's boutique, and revisited the Museum of Huntingburg in pictures.
