Miniature Golf Moments
I was four years old when I emptied my bladder on a miniature golf course. Like most toddlers, I waited until the most inconvenient time to tell my dad that I had to go. Not unlike my usual timing of whispering to my mom that I had to go potty during the climax of mostContinueContinue reading “Miniature Golf Moments”
Beat the Heat with SP’s New Snowball Stand
For many Marylanders, snowballs are life. It makes sense, they originated in our state. More on that history later. It has been many years since a snowball stand existed in Severna Park. Thanks to B&A Snowball Station, the wait is over. Located behind The Big Bean at 4 Riggs Ave, the new icy watering holeContinueContinue reading “Beat the Heat with SP’s New Snowball Stand”
Ode to Kinder
Dear Kinder,After all these years and memories, it’s well overdue that I write you this love letter. While most refer to you as Kinder Farm Park, you will always and forever be just “Kinder” to those who know and love you best.I remember our early days together with me rolling down your hills, especially theContinueContinue reading “Ode to Kinder”
Haircut Mishaps
I was 4 years old when the first haircut mishap happened. My friend Emily came over to play. What began as a pretend haircut quickly turned into me actually cutting her hair and mine. The result? Jagged bangs for me and an uneven haircut for Emily. I wonder if Emily’s family truly moved away soonContinueContinue reading “Haircut Mishaps”

Halloween Costume Hoopla
It’s officially spooky season. Like many, I live for over-the-top Halloween costumes. As I rack my brain for what I’ll force (or possibly trick in the spirit of the season) my family into wearing to appease my childhood heart, I’m taking a moment to walk down memory lane. I’m revisiting some of my favorite HalloweenContinueContinue reading “Halloween Costume Hoopla“
Funny Toddlerisms
Confession: I’ll admit — for a brief moment — I thought I made up the word “toddlerism.” Apparently, the Urban Dictionary was already ahead of me, and I’ll share the appropriate parts. “A child between the ages of one to three … Pushing boundaries and throwing fits.” Yes, this is true. However, a key partContinueContinue reading “Funny Toddlerisms”
The 12-Second Game
I’m not one for reliving the glory days of big games. In fact, my eyes tend to gloss over when someone makes me listen to one of their own athletic stories. However, with March here and along with it Spring sports, I can’t help but remember the most bizarre game I’ve ever been a partContinueContinue reading “The 12-Second Game”
