The White Haven Community Library and Visitor Center, 99 Towanda Street, White Haven,  will be holding Open House festivities this Saturday, May 25th from 10 a.m.-5 p.m.

The new library will be housed in the historic former Lehigh Valley railroad engine house located at 99 Towanda Street in White Haven. This century old stone building has been rehabilitated and restored back to many of its original architectural features; however, a new mezzanine level and interior walls as well as modern structural systems has created a beautiful space for public use.

Festivities include a library tour, a book sale, live music, food, a bounce house and more!

Parking will be allowed at the nearby DCNR parking lot next to G& A Hardware on Main Street.

Special Events include:

10:30– Danielle Bernstein, children’s writer and teacher will be in the library for a meet-the author and book signing session, with a talk on origins of her book “The Magic in a Mermaid’s Tear” and a sea glass jewelry sale.

11:00–Discover Lehigh Gorge Walk, a one-mile easy walk with a DCNR naturalist. This event, partnered with the Keystone Active Zones Passport Program and the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, will highlight spring wildflowers and remnants of the area’s rich history.  Meet before 11:00 in the library parking lot.

1:00–Kathy Long, artist and storyteller, will be in the library to present an interactive program for children and adults on the origin of stories and on developing personal and family stories.

2:30–Suzy Kaminski, children’s writer, will be in the library for a meet-the author and book signing session on her book “Our Forever Home—Tales of the Cozy Red Barn.  She will also give a preview of her forthcoming new book.

Warmer Weather and Beachwear for Babies

Written by on · Leave a Comment

Stella Cove Swimsuit

As many of you noticed the weather has gotten warmer here in NEPA the last few days(finally!!) and the NEPA MOM family has been taking advantage of the warmer weather to try on our bathing suits from last year and take inventory of what we needed this year before our Lake and beach days are here.  Since the baby has grown so much over the past year however, she needed new swimsuits so I thrilled to be able to try out the Stella Cove Beachwear on her.

Stella Cove Beachwear sent me the adorable blue and white bathing suit she is wearing in the photos–doesn’t she look cute :)

What I really like about the Stella Cove Beachwear line however is that all suits are UV50+ so they protect her delicate baby skin from the sun.  They make suits from sizes 12 months to 16 years for both boys and girls, as well as a small line of women’s bikinis.  Many of their prints are exclusive designs, featuring guitars, grapefruits, beautiful soft and bold florals, as well as geometric prints.  I was checking out their patterns on their website and they are super cute!

Make sure to check out their swim line for kids today!

Disclosure: I was sent a bathing suit for my child for review purposes. All opinions are my own.

Get ready for Summer Vacation with new Cooper Tires #springsavings

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Cooper Tires for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Summer vacation is almost here and many of us will be hitting the road on vacations and day trips.  Moms often think about all the stuff we need to pack and what we need to bring on the trip but one often overlooked item in trip preparation is to make sure your car is ready for the road.  And that includes making sure your tires are up to the challenge!   

Lets be honest though, tires are pricey and they can add up quickly so a great deal is always welcome.  Look no further than the Spring Savings Event from Cooper Tire.
