Of course, we have so many favorites over the past year, we try to share them right here on the blog or on social media!
What has been going on behind the blog?
The end of the year hasn’t been easy for us –
- One of my daughter’s lost her father in law if you follow on Instagram you probably saw my post.
- One of my son’s good friends got hit head-on in the morning with someone trying to pass him. He is healing but, he lost his wife.
- I got my flu shot but, after a trip to the dentist (which always stresses me out) I caught a cough, and the cold lasted 3 weeks! SERIOUSLY the worst. I’m on the mend now. (I was wiping down everything in my home to keep everyone healthy) Thank goodness for Clorox Wipes and Lysol Wipes! They are all healthy.
The good stuff that has happened lately-
- My youngest, Sammie who you see on the blog got accepted into college with a (half + paid!) scholarship. You’ll be hearing more about this. I am happy and sad, as it is out of state!
- We opened our home, and our hearts again, we adopted two twin kittens. Our house is full of fluff, fun, and purrs. We named them Yin and Yang. The gavel struck no more pets now. But, that is ok as we will continue to visit and volunteer at the local animal shelter.
- I have started a new project. Revamping a dollhouse. (This was supposed to be done in December)
- I took down Christmas and added a few new decor accents. (shared this on Facebook)
- We are starting our spring cleaning early! Uh, and yay at the same time! lol
- Sam and I are making a college move-in checklist! I promise to share in case you have a teen you are sending off to college. It will be a free printable.
