    I blinked and June is over. Here’s my Currently post for July! Hope you’re having a great Summer so far. I’m cooking… several shrimp recipes that I did back in Summer 2017 that I never shared. I need to make the recipes again and write everything down so I can share them with you. I’m photographing… my garden. We were on vacation last week and my sis-in-law took care of our cat and my garden while we were gone. It rained a lot, so when we got back my garden has exploded with tomatoes! Peppers are bigger. I’m sharing… a…

    It’s time for another Currently post! I’m feeling… drained, but trying my best not to let it get the best of me. I need be rejoicing in the fact that I’m still working from home and the flexibility that gives. I am excited that our new neighbors moved in this week. We haven’t met them yet, but I’m eager to meet them. I miss having neighbors that we can stand out in the yard and talk to. I hope these new people are nice like that. I’m wearing… nothing special! T-shirts and shorts. I’m buying… lots of random things, but…

    I had all the intentions of getting this post up yesterday, when every else did, but I got busy and actually never even looked at my To Do List. Do y’all ever do that? making I wrote an insta post last night about making cookies. Well really I’m not making them (from scratch), but I’m baking them from a tub. I would love to make some cookies from scratch, but honestly with preparing lunch and dinner almost every single day that’s enough! missing I miss being able to just go to Target, TJMaxx, Ross, or Hobby Lobby and stroll through…

    Happy New Year everyone! Honestly I wanted to come into this year with a great plan for this home away from home, but I haven’t. I don’t have a plan. I’m just going to keep holding on by a thread, because the next few months at work are huge and I’m absolutely slammed. I’m not going to bore you with all those details. However, I may do that later. 😉 So anyway, regardless of how much I’m able to post this year, I vow to not leave this place. I’ll post when I can and that’s my plan! So anyway,…

Anyway, I love linking up with Anne In Residence every month (even though I haven’t done it in a long while) with her Currently post. So here’s my October /arranging/ Rob and I are getting ready to go out of town for a few days. I’ve been arranging for my mother-in-law and brother-in-law to take turns coming over to make sure Alex gets where…

We are leaving the mountains of North Carolina today heading home for the night only to have to get back in the car and drive to Louisiana tomorrow. /visiting/ family in Baton Rouge tomorrow. We will get to see Rob’s older sister, who we haven’t seen in about 15 years. Her and her 3 boys (our nephews) will be there. I’m excited to get the cousins together and see the…

    Happy New Year y’all! I’m trying a couple different link ups in the new year. One of my favorite blogs is In Residence by Anne. She does a link up called Currently. I used to write a post similar to this and decided it would be a good one to try again. Starting a new habit of drinking 3 bottles of water throughout the day which adds up to about 50 oz. I am so bad about drinking water and I only do it if I’m making a conscience effort, so I’m using an app to help me remember to…
