  • blogmas day 12 – home for christmas.

    Happy (very) early Monday, y’all. Blogmas Day 12 was a bit delayed because this weekend we celebrated Christmas with our precious family and it was just wonderful. In the busyness of the past few months, we haven’t gotten to spend time together as we would like and it was a blessing to enjoy the day… Read more

  • blogmas day 10 – my greatest blessings.

    Christmas is close now – I am so excited – and we are getting ready for family celebrations as well as our Christmas at home. I love it all so much. One thing we had not done in a few years was take pictures all together for Christmas – so we went to our town’s… Read more

  • blogmas day 7 – seeing ellie.

    I love Ellie Holcomb – and Drew too – and my husband and I enjoy streaming their live shows for date night when we can but I haven’t gotten to see them in person live before now. Tonight was Ellie night. ❤ (I have been looking forward to it for some time.) Sara and I… Read more

  • blogmas day 6 – it’s beginning to look a lot like christmas.

    With the chaos of this semester, I am finishing my Christmas decorating much later than I would prefer to – I’m one of those people that would decorate in August if I could 😉 – but I am so excited that the Hippie Hut halls are now decked and it is so pretty and cozy. … Read more

I hope y’all had a fantastic Halloween. ❤ Here in the Hippie Hut, I’ll begin with the good news: our beautiful daughter’s 19th birthday. It was so much fun getting to celebrate our sweet Sara Bug at her Halloween themed party… Read more

  • oh, the flare bear.

    After being happy that I managed a busy Thursday – ironically to prep for the weekend – my body absolutely said enough. Friday, I just could not get going properly, with more naps than your average preschooler, dealing with achy – achy – joints, and my hands just not cooperating. I was really hoping –… Read more

  • yay for fall weekends.

    Before I dive into my rather large math assignment – and we all know how much I just love doing those 😉 – I wanted to share how thankful I am for a Friday and Saturday filled with the very best things. ❤ Friday night, Sara and I met our friend Ashley for the Alanis… Read more

  • scary times and giving thanks.

    I’ve shared over the years about our precious Henry’s health issues – and he has fought some hard hard battles. A few years ago, we found ourselves with him critically ill, first with newly discovered diabetes, and then, once that was under control, with autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA). With AIHA, the odds aren’t in a… Read more
