We hosted our son’s graduation party at the community park last Sunday. It was so nice to catch up with family and though the day was long and hot, it turned out to be a big success! I still have a hard time believing this “kid” will be starting college in less than a month! […]

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of HUGGIES. All opinions are 100% mine. When we had our first child, we were young. Being raised as an only child, I had never really been around babies so becoming a mother was a whole new experience. Thank goodness for our family doctor, who […]

July 2, 2013 By 17 Comments
Wiggle worm would be just one of many words to describe our darling granddaughter! She is almost 7 1/2 months old now (can you believe it?) and trying to explore everything! Watch out if you have a camera, phone, tablet or anything else electronic in your hand — she WANTS it! Holding the camera just […]
{almost} Wordless Wednesday – Hillbilly Raised Bed #ww
June 12, 2013 By 3 Comments
I am still alive, promise! Summer is kicking my butt though and I haven’t really had time to blog. Today, I finally planted the veggie plants in the raised beds. It took me 3 1/2 hours to weed out last year’s junk and get my plants in the ground. Then I had to rig up […]

This is what is happening tonight. My first born is graduating from high school! *tears* I know I haven’t been around much on the blog or online. Graduation is really getting to me! It’s so hard to see him in this cap and gown and I can barely believe that my son is no longer […]

Our Journey to Homeownership – we’re getting there #GenworthUSA
May 8, 2013 By 11 Comments
Last year, Chris and I thought for sure it would be “THE” year that we finally bought a home of our own. We contacted a real estate agent that my brother-in-law recommended, since they had purchased their home the year prior. She in turn, connected us with an FHA lender to see if we would […]

May 8, 2013 By 25 Comments
Our son attended his Senior Prom last Friday with his fiancee. Please, excuse me while I go curl up in the corner with a tub of cool whip. Ah! Seriously, I cannot believe he will be graduating in just a few weeks. Today, he received his letter of acceptance to college. I cry. He will […]
{almost} Wordless Wednesday – Daffodils & Dirt Roads #ww
April 30, 2013 By 26 Comments
I can never be truly wordless but I will keep it short this week! Saturday was a gorgeous day and it looks like the rest of this week calls for more of the same blue skies and warmer temps. It’s so nice to be able to get outside, throw open the windows and take walks […]
