Stepniowski Family

The last week of summer is among us, and we’ve just returned from our semi-annual trek to the Smoky Mountains.   Instead of making a pit-stop in Atlanta again, we decided to bust it straight through to Wears Valley, TN where we rented a cabin. We like Wears Valley because it avoids all of the […]

As we close out 2012, I’m not going to say it was all rainbows and unicorns or the best year ever.  But, it would be a far stretch to say that it was terrible.  We’re all happy and healthy, no doubt! Our house hit ten years old this year and has already started falling apart. […]

While I may get a little stressed as summer approaches and scheduling takes a turn, I always get sorrowful when it comes to an end.  I’m convinced this summer went by faster than any other, seriously. Earlier in the year, we decided not to take an extended trip.  Instead, Luke took some time off work […]

My resolutions are pretty simple this year. 1) Quit biting my nails (don’t judge). 2) Get everything submitted […]

On September 1st, 2001, Luke and I were married at Selby Botanical Gardens in Sarasota, FL.  We (I) wrote the ceremony content and had incorporated the Apache Song that I still enjoy reading today… Now you will feel no rain For each of you will be a shelter to the other Now you will feel […]

I just posted my China adventure details on ijenn for all those to see… All of the pics are in the majjix gallery though. 🙂 Of course, I can’t resist shameless promotion of Pro QC, who ultimately financed the excursion… more articles related to my trip can be found on their blog. Per a translated […]

This year’s trek to the Great Smoky Mountains was amazing, as always… a week of relaxing in a cabin overlooking the national park can hardly be beat! The Odyssey proved once again to be the ultimate comfort machine for our family as we took to the road and hit Atlanta for an overnight pit stop. […]
