Eat at "The Barn" in Crestwood MO

I went to the cutest little place to eat EVER!
The Barn located in Crestwood MO 
Open for Breakfast and Lunch, we had lunch and it did NOT disappoint. 
Service was so quick and friendly, she actually sat down next to use and had a brief convo with us and about the place. 
Me and my friend had a wonderful time.......

The view pulling in......

Look at this lovely view, so relaxing!

The garden.......

The small library on the property....

If you love history, check out the detail of the door knocker. 
WOW. 

The table was set quaint and clean. 

Menu, simple one side breakfast, one side lunch. 

Our view...pond and fountain in the back ground this was so adorable! 

Best. Ever. Bloody Mary. 
Nuff said..........

I ate my chicken salad sandwich served on fresh wheat (3 bread choices by the way) right up so I forgot to snap a photo. It was served with home made coleslaw that had apples in it. Everything is house made, and they have a nice selection of amazing desserts! 
I'm saving that for next trip. 

If you are in the Crestwood, Sappington, South County or West County area....this is perfect for a girls lunch or even a first date.

Best kept secret.....is OUT of the bag tell all your friends!

Guest Post: Health Benefits of Proper Fitness Exercising

Guest Post today............what a treat!
By Arya Mullen

Health Benefits Of Proper Fitness Exercising

Interested in feeling better, gaining more energy and perhaps a longer lifespan? All you have to do is start a strict schedule of physical activity. The benefits of regular physical activity are hard to ignore – from preventing cardiovascular affections to boosting the self confidence.

Improving Your Mood

Physical activities stimulate a wide plethora of nervous centers of your brain. As a direct consequence, you feel happier and more relaxed. At the same time, you will inevitably look better if you stick to your regular exercises. When you look better, you feel better. Give up on that belly and gain some muscles instead. Inevitably, your self confidence will skyrocket. As if all these were not enough, exercises are highly recommended to those who suffer from depression and anxiety.

Combating Chronic Affections

Exercising on a regular basis is likely to prevent or at least control arterial hypertension – a chronic affection that plenty of people suffer from. Worried about the high levels of cholesterol? Work on your body every once in a while and you will easily grow the levels of good cholesterol while lowering the levels of bad cholesterol. Plus, sports will prevent diabetes type two, osteoporosis and particular types of cancer. What can be more motivational than that?

Maintaining Your Weight under Control

When you exercise, you burn calories for energy. The more intense your workouts are, the more calories your body will burn. The good news is that you do not have to spend a lot of time, not to mention the overall effort. For instance, you can just go on the stairs instead of taking an elevator. Have a short walk during your lunch break, rather than exaggerating with a heavy meal. Watching a movie? Come up with some squats meanwhile. Starting to put on some weight? Get a treadmill and exercise at home.

Strengthening Your Heart and Lungs

With physical activity, you work on your tissues. You stimulate the body to deliver more oxygen to your tissues, but also to feed them with more nutrients. The conclusion is fairly simple – you work on the entire cardiovascular system.

Enjoying a Restful Sleep

A good sleep will help you focus, increase your productivity and boost your mood. Regular exercises will certainly help you sleep better and enjoy a restful sleep. If you suffer from insomnia or other sleep related problems, try to exercise in the afternoon. These issues will become history within days only.

Enhancing Your Sexual Life

Regular exercises will provide more energy and look better. These two elements have a positive impact over your sexual life. At the same time, the solid cardiovascular benefits will also increase the level of satisfaction in terms of sex. Men who exercise on a regular basis are less likely to face any erectile dysfunctions, while women will enjoy more intense sensations.

Having Fun


Finally, remember that physical activity does not have to be a challenge. Sign up for some dancing or mountaineering classes. Just think about something you like and go for it. Get a few friends and organize a football game. No matter what you do, stay active and you will not regret it.
