Seaside Chat II
The Journey. My three-week journey is coming close to an end. It is a bittersweet moment as I prepare to leave my parents. I will miss them, but at the same time, I miss my hubby and my two sons. I wanted to pop in for a quick chat. This post won't do justice to [...]
Visiting A Christmas Tree Farm
Visiting A Christmas Tree Farm. (Or how to choose the perfect Christmas tree). Ok, that second part might be a little far-fetched. Is there such a thing as a "perfect" tree?

Time Travel Tuesday – Over the Rainbow
Over the Rainbow. Last week we had a spectacular double rainbow. It was so spectacular that my husband called me from his commute to tell me to grab my camera and shortly after that, a friend texted me to grab my camera because the rainbow was just that awesome! Unfortunately, my first sighting of it [...]

Is That Snow? If you read yesterday's Blogiversary post, then you know that we got our first snow here in Southwest Virginia! It was beautiful. Now I'm ready for it to leave.
