Elements Cafe 517 Station Avenue Haddon Heights, NJ (856)546-8840 On an quaint little street in an adorable old town sits the charming little cafe called Elements.

Eilis’ class had a field trip today into Philadelphia. The first stop on the trip was at the Mummers’ Museum, followed by a tour of Termini Brothers Bakery, then a visit to Betsy Ross’ house. I’ll tell you first about the Mummers’ Museum and Betsy’s house, and then I will ramble on and on seemingly…

This was one of our favorite places to go for a casual, cheap family meal on the weekends before my gastric bypass surgery. It probably was a big part of the reason I NEEDED gastric bypass surgery. Ming Kui Lau is in the same parking lot as our bank, and I have to admit, when…

Granuaile started going to daycare three days a week in January. This was supposed to be so I could catch up on things, but I took on some writing assignments that consumed my life and I didn’t actually get anything caught up.
