Once again it’s the evening of Thanksgiving Day. I’m sitting here thinking about all that I have to be thankful for and I couldn’t name it all if I tried or if time allowed. I’m blessed with more than I or anyone else deserves. I had a huge breakfast with my husband’s family this morning… Continue reading Give Thanks
Closet Clean-Out As the seasons change and the temperatures drop, it’s a good time to clean out the closets. For those of us who have little space it’s also a great time to get rid of unwanted, unused items. There are always people in need of items you think are useless.

I don’t know about any of you, but I’m ready for September. I’ve been waiting on it for a while. It brings some of my favorite things in life. Cooler temperatures are very welcome, especially with the heat and humidity we’ve had this year. The grandkids are back in school and I miss them,… Continue reading Hello September!

Looking back now and… Continue reading Minimalism or Simple Living
Have you ever heard the phrase “back in the day”? I laugh to myself every time I hear it. I don’t know why, but it’s funny to me. Years ago, it was something my grandparents used to say when they were speaking of something that happened when they were younger. Now, as I’m much older… Continue reading Rosa Lee Back in the Day
We’ve spent the past month being so busy with different activities that it has kept us from getting the grandkids on our normal routine. We were able to resume that routine yesterday and our oldest came to stay the night with us. “It’s always fun at Nana’s house”, that’s what Lillianna says. She’s almost 9… Continue reading Lillianna and the Honeysuckles
Have you ever wanted something but you felt like everyone else would think you were crazy if you went for it? You thought that you’d be unaccepted by your friends, or maybe even your family? Well, that’s how I felt when I dreamt of living a simple life. I’ve thought about it for years, but… Continue reading A Dream and A Notebook
Building a website has always seemed so far out of reach for me, but I knew I wanted to share my stories with others and hopefully be able to help someone along the way. This site may be a slow process as I am still learning the ins and outs of website building, but come… Continue reading Welcome!
