Y’all, after a long, difficult-at-times summer, October is finally here. Though our house is sort of decorated for Halloween year round 😉 , we are getting all of our outdoor decorations out as well as my pumpkin collection and our skeletons that live around the house. . . It’s so exciting. ❤ At the same… Read more

Fall is here, y’all (well, officially tomorrow, but close enough we say 😉). It has been a busy few weeks here in the Hippie Hut with football Saturdays – divided between our house and Mom and Pop’s house, always the best ♥️ – a multitude of doctors appointments, the loss of a dear friend’s mother… Read more

Since my last post, it feels like there have been several weeks of doctors appointments and rest days and getting my strength back (at least to my baseline).

Happy St. Patrick’s Day 2026, y’all. Here in the Hippie Hut – up to yesterday – it has been really unseasonably warm.

Y’all, I’m so happy to share that – after several busy weeks and months – we have a manuscript completed for my book. I am so excited – and exhausted as well. 😂 Here in the Hippie Hut, we’ve had a storm system come through that took us from 80 degrees yesterday to literally snowing… Read more

First, let me say that this year’s birthday list series will now definitely be completed throughout my birthday weekend (and maybe next week?) as I am moving at snail’s pace again with a relapse of my secondary URI from my recent flu. (Y’all. This flu strain is insane.) That said, I am – again –… Read more

I have been a woman down since the holiday so I’m a bit late in sharing my usual Christmas in the Hippie Hut post but we did have a wonderful one. ♥️ Every year, Santa comes to our house on Christmas Eve so we had our usual finger foods while watching the NORAD Santa tracker… Read more

Today, Christmas Eve Eve, I am writing to you from my bed still, with Ollie snoring underneath about four blankies, as my body does its expected crash out from yesterday’s last minute push to gather everything for Christmas. (An aside: every single year I tell myself I’ll remember next year just *how crazy* those crowds… Read more
