Midnight Snackage

By Ashia Murphy Petunia Petals
It's midnight and you're lying in bed, wide awake and feeling hungry. You debate whether or not to get up and make yourself a snack. On one hand, you're really not that hungry and you don't want to ruin your sleep schedule. On the other hand, you know that if you don't eat something soon, you're going to get hangry. You decide to give in to the munchies and quietly get out of bed, making your way to the kitchen. As you rummage through the pantry, you try to be quiet so you don't wake up your roommates. You're not sure what you're in the mood for, but you know you want something tasty. After a midnight snack. You make your way into the kitchen. You open the fridge, hoping to find something that will satisfy your craving without being too unhealthy. Unfortunately, all you see is a wilted salad and some leftovers that have been in the fridge for way too long. You close the fridge, disappointed. You debate whether or not to go back to bed or to try and f...

My Tow Truck Adventure Heading to Virginia

By Ashia Murphy Petunia Petals
Hi everyone!  I just recently returned from a road trip to go pick up my brand new tow truck from Virginia. It was a long journey but one of the most exciting yet! I wanted to share some of my experiences with all of you and hopefully help to provide some useful advice on planning a road trip.  One of the first things I did when preparing for this trip was to find the best route to Virginia. This can be an exciting experience, but also one that requires some planning ahead of time. After mapping out the route, I made sure my car was adequately fueled, that I had the right supplies, and that my tank was full of water.  Next, I packed all of my stuff. I made sure that I had my activities bag that I could easily pack. Then I made sure everything that I needed was in the car and everything I didn't was out. I also packed plenty of snacks and a few extra blankets to help keep me warm.  The drive through Virginia was beautiful. I stopped to take pictures of the mountains a...
