Posted on May 19, 2026May 18, 2026 by Mandy

Hey y’all!  Yes, it’s been three months since I’ve posted here.  I can’t believe it.  Life has just moved very fast in the last three months, but I thought I would pop in with a May life update on what’s been going on around here. First, and most importantly, we have a junior college graduate!…

We Survived Winter Storm Fern

Posted on February 9, 2026February 8, 2026 by Mandy

Well, we survived Winter Storm Fern, but just barely, it feels like!  Haha!  If I told you I still had little ice patches in my backyard two weeks later, would you believe me?  Because we do!  If I never see ice again, it will be FAR too soon!  It’s been an ordeal, but to be…

Posted on January 22, 2026January 21, 2026 by Mandy

We are gearing up for winter weather in our home.  The forecast calls for a historic winter weather event beginning Friday night and continuing into Sunday.

I’m Still Alive

Posted on January 15, 2026January 14, 2026 by Mandy

I’m still alive!  I certainly didn’t mean to take a three-month-long blogging break, but I did.  I don’t even really have a good excuse.  Life just got busy, and then the holidays rolled around, and I stayed busy! We are finally getting back to our normal schedule this week. After I went in to make…

Happy October!

Posted on October 1, 2025 by Mandy

Wow!  Happy October, y’all!  I can’t believe we are already in the tenth month of this year.  Time flies!  I want to be fully in the fall/Halloween spirit, but it is still so hot here, and the weather is making it hard to get in the mood.  I’m still wearing shorts and flip flops!  Haha! …

Little Pockets of Happiness

Posted on September 23, 2025 by Mandy

Recently, I’ve been trying to find little pockets of happiness in each day.  Something small and inexpensive that can bring big joy.  I’ve tried to be really intentional lately about doing this because I think it can help bring some balance and harmony back to your life when things are tough. I want to thank…

Life Has Been Life-in’

Posted on September 21, 2025 by Mandy

Life has certainly been life-in’ around here.  Every time I think I’m going to return to blogging regularly, life gets in the way, and blogging has to be put on the back burner. My aunt passed away very suddenly last week.  It left us all in shock, understandably, and I’ve spent a few days traveling…
