A Gift From Diego

Early Sunday morning winter storm Diego decided to stop by and stay all day long. It snowed and snowed and snowed! I didn't think it was ever going to stop. It was pretty coming down at times with the big huge flakes. By the time it was over we had 15 inches of snow at…

Happy Monday

Hi there! I missed you all last week. I was just way too busy! Hopefully things will be a tad calmer this week.  Thanksgiving was very nice. It was great to spend time with family. Not a lot of family made it to dinner this year. We still had a ton of food - turkey,…

Mason Jar Lid Christmas Ornaments

Happy Wednesday! We are under a winter storm warning until tomorrow here in Virginia. I can hardly believe it! Usually we don't start getting these warnings until January! We are supposed to be getting a little bit of snow but mostly ice. Yuck. I hope it melts fast! I don't have time for ice. I…

Weekend Happenings

Happy Monday! It was so cold this weekend! Saturday was in the 40's but with the wind blowing it felt like it was mid 30's. Saturday night the temperatures dropped down into the lower 20's. That is crazy for us here this time of year! It's normally in the 50's or lower 60's. I found…

Pumpkin Patch Weekend

This weekend I was able to put four check marks on my Autumn to-do list: road trip, corn maze, hayride, and pumpkin patch. I've already crossed off going to an apple festival. Six more to go! My family and I took a mini road trip to a farm. There were quite a few activities to…

Crazy Michael

  Hurricane Michael was supposed to hit Florida, go up a couple of states and then zoom back off into the ocean. However, Michael decided to stay a strong tropical storm and come right up over us here in Virginia. We are okay, but our small town could not handle all that rain and the…

Abandoned Mill

I hope you all had a great weekend! Saturday was a pretty busy day for me. My mom and I went to a church rummage sale. There was a lot of furniture there, but nothing that really caught my eye. At least not for the prices they had stuck on them. I did end up…

Hurricane Florence

  It seems that Florence is going to be an issue for us here in Virginia. My sister lives in Wilmington, North Carolina and there is a possibility that the hurricane could hit land there, then stall over us in Virginia. What a mess that will be for this coming weekend. Our local news station…

Homeschool Week 1

Our first week of Homeschool has been a huge success! I'm so glad I decided to take this path. Day one was a little bit crazy, which is normal for any school day. It started off with me burning the bacon. Thankfully I had more bacon.     We started our school day and halfway…
