A Book About Home and A Home for Construction Vehicles

By

The link above is an affiliate link. After being on the road from July 20th through July 26th, it is wonderful to be home.

This wonderful book subtitled Once There Was A House, A House That Continue Reading

The Orange Sign, The Wedding, The GPS, and the Deer

By

JDaniel is so into John Deere right now. It could be because his Cousin Charlie’s room is decorated in John Deere pictures. While we were up visiting my sister Kate’s family in the country outside of Syracuse, NY we saw a lot of orange signs. The only one that really stood out to JDaniel was the John Deere signs. I know they are supposed to be a Continue Reading

Free Personalized Cards from Tiny Prints for Teachers

The teacher that stands out most is my mom. I was never in her class per se. I was able to watch how she taught her students and cared for each of them as individuals Continue Reading

Mice on Main Street And In My House

By

Here in Greenville, S.C. we have a great mouse hunt on Main Street. Bronze mice are scattered up and down the street. Some are easy to find and others are quite difficult. I took my nephews down to search for them. We had a print out of clues that I found on the Mouse on Main website. The mice are very popular and have even had a children’s book Continue Reading

We were exploring downtown Greenville and came across this red sculpture. It is titled Untitled. When JDaniel and I stopped to look at it, I asked him what he thought it was. He replied “Ys”. It really does look like two ys stacked together.This sculpture is sort of symbolic of conversations I have with JDaniel some days. They seem to be filled Continue Reading

Visiting Happy Cow Farm

JDaniel loved walking over the store at Happy Cow to get ice cream. The peach ice cream we got was wonderful. They liked checking out the cows. Each thought the cows were really smelly.
