In West Philadelphia...

Scratch that, more like South Philadelphia and no I wasn't born or raised there, I just like Fresh Prince of Bel Air. I love Philly... so far. I haven't gotten to explore as much as I would like to since I just had a baby but I hope that changes this Spring. It would be great to live there if it wasn't an hour away from Paul's work & if we didn't have kids. It's weird being able to wander a city and see thriving small businesses, tattoo parlors & even the elderly. You don't get that in Detroit. All you get in Detroit is a small area of very large attractions and the hood aka lock your doors & run red lights. I love Detroit but not in the same way I love other big cities. I have fond memories of going downtown to baseball games at Tiger Stadium, fairs at Hart Plaza & concerts at the State theater. I also have stories of prostitutes getting picked up on motorized wheel chairs & memories of being harassed by a one legged woman on my 18th birthday. It's what I know best. So when we are able to comfortably explore a major city we take advantage of that.


If you are ever in South Philly I highly recommend trying Famous 4th Street Deli and don't forget to share because the portion size is out of control!

Introduction

Hello! This is my 2nd attempt at a blog and I hope it goes well. My name is Kara. I'm 24 years old. I'm a wife, a stay at home mother & a gypsy, hence the name of my blog. No, not the kind of gypsy that is braless (at least not all of the time), feeding her 2 month old baby mashed potatoes in a restaurant high chair (only my good friend Emily will get that reference). I'm a gypsy, a vagabond, a mover & a shaker. Since April 2009 my family has moved from Detroit, our hometown, to Chaska, Minnesota then to Pearland, Texas then to North East, Maryland. I'm sick of moving. No we aren't in the military. My husband works as a chemical engineer for a large company. He is enrolled in a program that is clearly designed for graduates that are single. The program has him test out different jobs for 6 months at a time for 2 years. We're on our last rotation! YAY! We will be moving one more time in February but only to our neighbor state Delaware which is 15 minutes away. Now I'll introduce my family.

Paul aka Husband aka Bear

Jordyn aka Our spirited child aka Jaybird


Adalyn aka Our sweet baby aka Pumpkin bear

And me.... well you will probably hear more about me later on since I am the one writing this thing. My picture is in my profile so no need to add another, don't want to scare away my readers. That's all for now.
