Stepniowski Family

It is true that I toured private schools and ultimately ended up crossing my fingers when my School Choice lotto results came in.  I was so ecstatic that we had been approved for Hunter’s Green Elementary… it is, in fact, a Blue Ribbon School in a nice area.  Everything was going to be perfect!
We start [...]

Last spring, I came across a pretty cool publication that included a lot of different project ideas for kids.  A subscription was only $10, so I went ahead and gave it a try.  And, I even went as far as recommending it to a few friends.
The first issue took a while to get here, and it was [...]

OK, having gone through a number of cell phone providers through work and such, I realize that they all kind of suck when it comes down to it.  Either your reception sucks, the customer service sucks, etc.  But, I’ve reached a new level of disappointment in my latest interaction with AT&T Wireless.
In order to get [...]

After eight nights away from home, I can say that we were ready to wrap up the vacation and sleep in our own beds.  But, we had one last pit stop at Stone Mountain, GA to go.  It was a one night stop that was supposed to break up the trip back to Tampa.
We had [...]

The 3rd pit stop on our southeast road trip was Helen, GA.  It was a lot closer to Asheville, NC than I thought so we were there in no time at all.
For this leg of the tour, we opted to rent a cabin.  I found Blue Ridge Cabin Rentals online and booked their “Natural High” cabin.  We had [...]

From Savannah, we loaded up once again for the 2nd leg of our southeast road trip.  Our destination was Biltmore, in Asheville, NC.  The Vanderbilt estate is something I’ve always wanted to check out, and it was just far enough away from Savannah to avoid any issues with the kids in the car.  With the Nuvi [...]

The first stop on our southeast road tour was Savannah, GA.  I've always wanted to check it out, and it seemed like a perfect pit stop on what would be our nine day adventure. 
The drive up went fairly quickly, although the "are we there yet?" comments did start about two hours in.  Fortunately, Luke had purchased [...]

Tomorrow morning, the Stepniowski clan will hit the road in our pimpin’ new mini van.  Pit stops include:

Savannah, GA

We’re staying in the historic district and hope to do the nightly Ghost Hunters Tour.

Asheville, NC

We’re staying at Biltmore for a few days and hoping to explore Grandfather Mountain.  I’m also hoping Skye and Aidan will be [...]

This Friday, we had it somewhat easy.  I picked up Aidan from school, stopped by Dr. Mompi’s to get my B12 shot and then went to my parent’s house for Aidan’s big birthday sleepover weekend.  Since they’ll be out of town next week for his big Pump-it-Up party, they wanted to do something special beforehand.
I must say that [...]

After Skye was born, I decided I wanted to give a professional photographer a try instead of going to JCPenney’s like I’ve done in the past.  I really don’t have any complaints about JCPenney’s, but I just thought a “professional” could produce something more creative and memorable.  I wanted some photos of both of them that I would be proud to [...]
