Bucks Happening Holiday Shopping Guide

One thing that I love about the holidays is finding the perfect gift for my loved ones, knowing I will see  huge smiles on their faces when they unwrap their big surprises.  In my opinion, giving is even more fun that getting!

While shopping during the holidays can be lots of fun, it can also turn into a frustrating experience when the perfect presents are hard to find.  Luckily, there are so many fabulously unique shops and talented craftsman in Bucks County to make the search more fun. In addition to fueling our communities, local shops offer the personal service and care to take the stress out of shopping.

This year, take a look at the Bucks Happening Holiday Gift Guide to find those extra-special gifts to make 2010 the best holiday yet! (more…)

Fall back into winter (and get an extra hour of sleep!)

Don't forget to change your clocks!

It’s that time of year again, to “fall back.” Officially you can change your clocks back one hour, this Sunday, November 7th. But what is all the history behind daylight savings time? Most of us (myself included) probably have no clue of its history and fun facts! Well, I decided it was about time to do some investigating.

Daylight savings time was actually not enacted until March 19, 1918 but proved to be “unpopular” due to people waking up earlier and going to bed earlier.
