I'm home now after what seemed like an eternally long time scrunched up in the backseat of my parents car with both of my kids yesterday. We made it though safe and sound, and my own bed felt OHHH so good last night!This morning we went out for bagels (which is a very common Saturday morning ritual for our family,) and then we went downtown to the market. Greenville … [Read more...]
Happy July!
I had great intentions to blog alot while at the beach this week. To type up some posts to even have a backlog for when I skip a day writing here and there. Obviously, you've probably noticed by now that those intentions paved the way to nowhere.On Monday, my inbox had several feeds from adorable blogs who'd done due diligence and written to wish me a "Happy 4th of … [Read more...]
Blogging from the Bush: Letters from a Sailor
I have a confession. I haven't posted the letter from my Navy Sailor brother yet because I've been hemming and hawing over if the total blunt truth straight from the mouth of a semi-salty sailor would put you all over the edge with me.I've sent the letter to a couple of friends to gauge their reactions and we all agree it's completely and harshly stereotypical of sailors, … [Read more...]
Keeping it Classy….
You know I've mentioned before that I'm the Care Coordinator for my neighborhood, right? Well, this past week one of my sweet neighbors had a death in the family, so it's my job to make sure they have some meals, a card, flowers, etc.This particular neighbor didn't really want lots of meals throughout this week because there are just 2 of them, so I came up with the idea … [Read more...]
One of Those Days…and a Recipe for Cobbler!
Today has been one of those days with my kiddos....well, with one of my kiddos. Which is why I haven't posted til this evening. I'm feeling pretty emotionally raggedy after the past couple of days with my 5 year old. I must confess that I have no idea how I ever could have thought that a strong willed mother and father could end up with a passive child. Clearly I didn't. I … [Read more...]
Potty Talk…Bathroom Inspiration
I don't know about you all, but sometimes there are certain rooms in my house that completely elude me when it comes to how to decorate them. Bathrooms are generally harder for me than other rooms..mostly because there are the same certain elements that you have to deal with and unless you're overhauling and re-doing tile and cabinetry, you're kinda working with what … [Read more...]
And The Gloves Came Off…..
Oh ya'll, today I had a moment.I bet you were wondering how long it'd be before the crazy person in me decided to jump out and surprise us all again. Aren't you glad you didn't have to wait too too long? Yeah...sorry to say I guess I'm a little predictable like that. But the crazy person made an appearance today for sure. This time instead of … [Read more...]
Food for Thought: Escha-what?!
Ok. So I wrote the post about the weather last night, but am making an addition now here with some interesting things I came across today.Eschatology...is basically the study of end times, and this morning when I was having some time with the Lord I most interestingly (but probably not coincidentally) ended up reading about eschatology. I started out with some reading … [Read more...]
Apocalypse Now?…
I don't know about the rest of you and what the weather is like where you live, but it's been crazy around South Carolina the past couple of months. And from what I can tell on the news, across the rest of the country it's been pretty crazy too. There have been record numbers of tornadoes, floods, winds, and storms pretty much everywhere. I have lived the … [Read more...]
For the LOVE….
of a dress....This dress.Cuernavaca MaxiI really want this Anthropologie dress. And this belt below to go with the dress.Channeled BeltI think in fact that I need it. I don't have the dinero for it right now, so I'm on the hunt for some work to get it! It would be perfect to wear to a wedding that I'm doing the flowers for towards the end of July. I'm on … [Read more...]
Friends for Life…
I'm home from Montana.And let me tell you what a welcome we got... we had to get our car jump-started in the Charlotte airport Sunday night at 11:45pm, got home at almost 2am to a broken upstairs A/C and 83 degrees in all the bedrooms, storms for days that had uprooted a 90ft pine in our backyard and debris everywhere. I spent the greater part of the day yesterday … [Read more...]
Polebridge Mercantile Giveaway Winner
Sorry I didn't post yesterday. We went to the east side of Glacier with some friends and had a fantastic and crazy day with 5 kids ages 5 and under. Yeah...it was an adventure. I'll write more about that later. I did want to announce the winner of the Polebridge Mercantile giveaway thanks to Random.org. Next time I do a giveaway, I have to figure out a … [Read more...]
Fire for Father’s Day…and more….
Since I'm out here in the Wild West doing things like hiking, trekking, wild animal sighting, building fires, and roasting marshmallows, I thought I'd share this super cute craft that I came across a couple of weeks ago from crafts.kaboose.com to do with my kids. It's a fun way to show a little love to the great outdoors in case you're maybe not one who really wants … [Read more...]
The Polebridge Mercantile…one of the coolest places EVER!
Today has been an absolutely incredible day! My aunt treated Tid Bit, the Hubs, and myself to a helicopter tour over Glacier National Park. It was another one of those kinds of experiences where words are insufficient. "Magnificent" is such an understatement. I could go on and on for days about it and still fall short in my description...get a load of … [Read more...]
Never Cry Wolf…
Unless... like my mom did this morning, you see one walking by the kitchen window.This is not the actual wolf we saw. We didn't have time to grab our camera and I wasn't about to walk outside to get a closer view. As it was, the wolf was literally 15 feet outside of the window over the kitchen sink. The wolf we saw was scrawny, shedding it's winter coat, and … [Read more...]
I think God lives in Montana
We made it here yesterday safe and sound. Uneventful plane rides, well behaved kids, and still a full part of the day to spend once we arrived. We got to Kalispell at 1:30 and spent the entire afternoon just enjoying the view and exploring around.View from the porch. That's the Flathead River below and Glacier Nat'l Park in the distance.Can I just tell … [Read more...]
