  • blogmas day 6 – mary oliver monday.

    Today, for our Mary Oliver Monday, I decided to share “The Summer Day” – because it is so lovely and we cannot have a series of her poems without it. I have several topics I am looking forward to writing on this week – and, beginning next Monday, I’ll be posting some of my favorite… Read more

  • blogtober post 10 – henry.

    When I shared our terrible family news about our sweet Goblin last post, what I could not mention – it was just too much to bear at one time – was that our Henry had also fallen seriously ill and was in hospital at the same time. Suddenly, at the end of last week, Henry… Read more

  • blogtober post 8 – banned books friday #28. getting caught up.

    With so much going on recently, our banned books project has gotten off schedule – but we are getting caught up today with Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle – and y’all, this was a -10/10, do not recommend, rough go situation. Getting right to the point, I found the novel itself to be a terrible read, miserable… Read more

  • blogtober post 7 – fall flowers.

    As an enthusiastic plant lady, I would be remiss if I didn’t share my favorite fall plants here in the Hippie Hut. I really enjoy seasonal finds – and this year I’ve found some unique ones. I love mums and this rainbow arrangement from Home Depot is just beautiful for the end of our walk.… Read more

  • blogtober post 6 – a much needed adventure with my bestie.

    On Sunday, I was so so thankful to spend a wonderful day with my bestie of forever, my Ginny, meeting for a mini-adventure in Huntsville. We met at a lovely pizzeria that is actually on the ground floor of the Huntsville Museum of Art for lunch – and it was delicious. They had some fantastic… Read more

  • blogtober post 5 – our new adorable family member.

    As I stated in my earlier post, our family has experienced some exciting changes since the end of last week. Since Dax started having chemotherapy, it has been difficult for Juliet, his sister outside, when he has to be away from her for treatment. After careful consideration, we decided to adopt another baby for outside… Read more

  • blogtober post 4 – where I’ve been.

    I’m sorry things derailed with our Blogtober schedule – our household schedule went awry in the best possible way at the end of last week and we have been chasing ourselves ever since. We have an amazing new (furry) family member I can’t wait to share with y’all. ♥️♥️♥️ In the middle of that, on… Read more

  • blogtober day 3 (a bit late) – hurricane helene.

    Y’all, today, we need to change plans and talk about Hurricane Helene. Many of us are already aware but if anyone has missed the scale of what has happened – Hurricane Helene made landfall in Florida’s Big Bend last Thursday evening as a massive Category Four Hurricane and made its way through Georgia, South Carolina,… Read more

  • blogtober day 2 – a poetry day.

    Considering all that is happening to our neighbors in the states so tragically affected by Hurricane Helene, I decided to change our latest topic to discuss the things concerning them – and I am working on a lengthy post. However, today was a doctor day for our family – so I am not yet finished… Read more

  • happy first day of blogtober, everyone.

    Happy October 1st, y’all. ❤ This year again, we’ll be doing Blogtober – with daily posts – though if this body is uncooperative, they may be tiny somedays. Still, we will persist – because Fall is here and October is one of the best times of the year. ❤ First, tomorrow, before we begin our… Read more
