About Me

My photo
Hello! I'm a first time boston terrier owner and our little Meatball will be going on lots of fun adventures with this active family! I'm a teacher, wife, and mother of a smartie pants little girl. I love working out, taking pictures, reading, scrapbooking, crafting, trying out new restaurants and exploring the outdoors with my family. I'm in love with Meatball and love making memories with him. I hope to learn more about Boston terriers and interesting places to connect with other fun loving people.

Roses and Coffee

Meatball was out enjoying the sunny weather and walking about this weekend to celebrate Mother's Day! Hope everyone had a fabulous Mother's day weekend! 

Meatball knows his coffee…we visited Hi Hat coffee just off State Line road in Westwood Hills Kansas. This is the cutest little coffee house ever, really it's a little house! It was once a gas station and has some photos of its beginning inside. Limited indoor seating but great coffee and cheerful baristas. I had my first iced-coffee and it was delicious. My favorite drink is "the avalanche"; you can have it hot, but it was just as good over ice. Meatball enjoyed the sunshine on their adirondack chairs. 

After some coffee we headed to Loose Park to look at the rose gardens.



Meatball knows about coffee! 

Hanging with the baristas
Kansas City's Jacob Loose Park is a 75 acre historical and beautiful park with picnic areas, rose gardens, playground, and water spray park. It was once a golf course then turned into a park in 1926 to remember Jacob Loose who founded Sunshine Biscuits. The Rose Garden was founded by a woman named Laura Conyers Smith who began the rose society here in Kansas City. It's pretty famous and perfect place for taking photos, having weddings, proposals or just picnic fun. 

Roses not quite bloomed yet
