Sarris Candies

Cold Days, Warm Hearts

Pittsburgh has been hit with a cold front lately, with high temperatures in the teens—the kind of cold that sends us bundling up but still finding fun wherever possible. Our days have been a mix of playing outside despite the chill and finding ways to get the kids’ wiggles out when it’s just too cold to be outdoors.

We’ve layered up for time outside and we’ve been getting creative indoors by turning the living room into a mini playground and heading to the candy store! (more…)

We Made That and Family Valentine’s Day Celebrations

Jimmy is a co-owner of his family’s steel fabrication business. He has been blessed to do work all over the Pittsburgh area: the zoo, parking garages, residential railings, elevators, gates, stairways, water slides, and more. Everywhere we drive he can be heard saying “We made that” as he points at a cable railing or steel column in a parking garage.

This week, we took the kids to Sarris Candies for a little treat night! We wandered around the candy store and sat down to enjoy our chocolate when Jimmy pointed at the railing in the store and said “We made that.”

How cool is that railing? I think it’s made to look like licorice?! Or a candy cane? I have a cool husband 😎 (more…)
