Baby Girl is so little on our big ole bed!!We spent the weekend at the land.Oh Glory Glory!! Don't get me wrong - I love that the in-laws care enough for us (and our health) that they are willing to open their home to our chaotic bunch for going on a month now - we are…
Guess what…?!
Edited to say: in my wonderfully working "got it all together" mind, I thought this was published last week. Ahem. Oops. Yet, sadly, goes along with the rest of the post... Mommy brain fog... Lord help me... us...Sorry for my slackerdom the last few weeks. (And yes, that is totally a word! Spell check so…
Rethinking this whole “off grid” thing
I'm a wuss. I am not afraid to admit it. I'm a southern girl whose mind is never far from the beach. I prefer hot weather over cold any day (ok, until it hits the triple degrees LOL Then its just miserable!). Friday blew in our first real cold snap. At naptime the children were sweating in…
A busy day ends in glory
A busy day! Lots of needed projects accomplished. The Girls and Littles did a lot of picking up outside. Mr. Man did work on the windows, the front porch and a few other things. Bou tackled this project. I think it turned out pretty good! The idea was adapted from a Pin I saw that…
Come on in, I’ll give you the grand tour!
Welcome to our humble abode in progress! Hey, you work with what you've got right? And a screen door is what we had, so it was covered with foam board to at least close up the gaping hole.The left side - the kitchen, stairs and living area. Currently set up for bedtime, with 3 beds.The right…
Windows
Oh what a busy couple of days! We are certainly back to "camp blogging"! I blog on the phone, save it locally and then it is all updated next time there is internet. I keep my same routine... but it floods the blog a couple of times a week. Advanced apologies!After spending another night in…
First night back
The first night on our land we had nothing but a vision. A dream really as we didn't have much of an idea of what the house would look like. 5 months later, after 8 weeks away, we are back. Looking at the product of that dream. Since we got back to camp to late to…
Can you hear the Angels??
The Angels are singing "Alleluia - Alleluia - Alle-lu-ia"!! I hear them, so loud, so clear 😀 Remember that little strip at the front because I cut the sheets a tad short - and then how the last sheet I cut was 4 feet to short. Get this! After cutting "way to short" piece to fit the peak we…
The house survived
Pretty good IMO. As expected, the rain came in on the side that wasn't covered with membrane. The rain started Thursday afternoon. We went back Friday afternoon to check on things. It wasn't to bad except our makeshift door had blown off and the roof leaking had allowed a couple of inches of water to gather. Mr. Man had…
THIS close!
Good news and bad news. They are anticipating lower winds (45 mph) and slightly less rain, depending on where the rain bands hang around. Flooding they say, is by far the biggest issue. But maybe it wont be to bad on our little spot of Heaven - least thats what I'm clinging to! Either way,…
