Life the last couple weeks....

Good Morning! Been a little MIA figuring out life and working on the house.

What we've been up to.....
well two weekends ago we had our "Fakesgiving". We do Thanksgiving early with my family because I used to work every Thanksgiving so we started a tradition of that. This frees up our Thanksgiving day so we can go to Ben's family's house and there is no rushing to fit in everyone and less stress and we get to enjoy the day. This year my sister is going away so my parents are coming with us to Ben's dad's house and everyone is really excited about it!

We got to go to the park a few days last week which was nice to get out of the house while we still could and run around when it wasn't freezing outside! It was 60 degrees on Monday then snowing on Tuesday. We had a trip to the dentist for Addy's 6 month check up and Cam's is this week. Ben and I also got to fit in a date night Friday which was a lot of fun and we got to have a nice Sunday dinner with family. This cold/cough that I was nice enough to share with my entire family has made its way through our house finally- hopefully it's done. So here are all our snapshots of the last couple weeks so far. I don't think we have any plans yet for the weekend, but I'm sure it includes working more on the driveway and house which I'm not upset about in the least bit. I would love to do some Christmas shopping, I feel like I'm really slacking. I have slowly been getting stuff together, but I would love not to be scrambling around last minute!

























My before and after of my hutch.......

I've been tearing wall paper off the walls with help from the kids of course. 

Date night with my super handsome guy!
and my sister in law caught this sweet pic of Miss Addy Mae on Sunday. <3

Shortest Month

It’s February!! - well the end anyways!!! The shortest month. Last week we woke up to heavy snow pounding down. This time of year is always deceitful, just when we think our part of the world is that much closer to spring-  the temps drop to chilling and a blizzard hits. Heavy snow that lasts until the sun shines bright each day and slowly melts away. At least there has been sunshine! Wonderful, wonderful sunshine that helps us survive through these dark months and guides us back into the light.  We've been doing a lot of house cleaning and greenhouse visits. Monday and Tuesday there was no school, so we hung out, were lazy, cooked good food. I started writing this as the kids skated around in circles at the ice rink. It was the last day open for the season. When things come to an end, they make room for new beginnings- like spring of course! But now, I’m finishing writing this a few days later. It was a short week, but it feels soooo long. We are ready for the weekend!  ...

Spring ahead

                                           While I’m out and down with a spell of something that I’m hoping isn’t bronchitis or lead to pneumonia- negative for the flu, COVID and RSV at least, I figured I’d come try and write a little. I’ve been so weak and tired and out of sorts. I’ve read two books this week and started my third.  As spring turns over to summer. The temperatures rise. The rain falls. The grass grows tall. The bugs crawl from their hiding places. The people emerge from their homes, ready to fling open the windows and take in the spring breeze to cleanse the winter blues and dust from their homes. The kids are shooed outside to soak up the fresh air and sunshine. The radio plays our favorite songs. There’s the unmistakable sound of the hose being turned on. Shoes are abandoned in a chaotic pile near the front door and long forgotten. Barefoot running throug...

I write.

What an absolutely beautiful life.  Sitting on our front porch with my head on your shoulder, you turn to me and say “look at this little life we’ve built.” 💕  It’s been almost 7 months since I last blogged, so many times I wrote and never finished. I'm always writing. Always writing whats in my heart or mind. I write to express myself, whether it be my wedding vows or about my son's football team winning the youth Super Bowl . I twist and turn the words until they make sense and are ready for me to share out into the world. I used to paint, scrapbook, write poetry and have a ton of other hobbies to pass the time, but for now I just write and take as many pictures as I can. I'm busy building life, homemaking, home schooling, working when I do, trying to be a good wife, daughter, sister, friend and raising my three children- and that to me is the most beautiful poetic thing I can think of.  Someday, there will be time to paint, to travel, but right now, I'm exactly wher...
