Visiting Laurens, SC

A Day Trip to Abbeville, SC

Stuck at Home, Working on Projects, and Waiting On Baby

Life has been a little crazy over the last month or so. It’s been a busy season and this homebody has found herself having to go somewhere nearly every day of the week. Add to that, I got a nasty sinus infection after my mommy sabbatical and it…

Momma’s Sabbatical

I’m sitting here, wrapping up a pretty magical two night, three day “me” vacation. A few years ago, I would’ve been focused on the idea of three days of being “kid-free” and, man, I would’ve been giddy about that…
