When we purchased our 30 acre property, the four acres of field were covered in blackberry bracken and pine. So James has decided to call our property Blackberry Pine Farm, at […]

We Have Ducks

Growing up we moved a lot! The advantage of moving is that you get to meet a lot of people and see and experience many things. But there is something special about coming home and having a lot of memories inside and outside those walls. We moved to Buffaloway Road when I was in the […]

Good-Bye Buffaloway

Old Salem is one of the many wonderful places in North Carolina that transports you back in time. I love living in North Carolina! Growing up we lived in the mid-west, on the west coast, on the east coast, visited up north, and the deep south. No state in my opinion can hold a candle […]

A Jaunt to Old Salem

“But now I am six. And I’m clever as clever. And now I think I’ll stay six now forever and ever.” -A.A. Milne Oh, how these little darlings have grown up so quickly. We took them for a walk in their puppy stroller and let them run and play in an open overlook. It was […]

Now We Are Six (Weeks)

Chunky babies are the cutest, at least in our opinion. Misty’s babies went from not seeing and hearing to all of the sudden, they are awkwardly chasing each other around their stall and interacting with each other. It has been so sweet to watch! Their little temperaments are already beginning to show themselves. Miss Matilda […]

Gidget’s Autumn Litter 4th + 5th Week

Wow! So much change has taken place since the last journal entry. Aurora, Charlotte, and Boone have been loved on greatly! They have enjoyed the time Alayna has sat in their stall with them.

Gidget’s Autumn Litter 3rd Week Update

I have the great pleasure of introducing you to Mr Boone, Miss Charlotte, + Miss Aurora. I’ve lived in many states. I’ve grown up on the east coast, west coast, and mid-west. But out of all the states, North Carolina has been my favorite! The people are kind and the culture is strong. The beautiful […]

Halloween costumes have become a big deal in our household. Our daughter will start coming up with ideas and costumes she will consider wearing several months prior to Halloween. She will start designing sketches of how she would like her outfit and her hair and make-up to look. My husband and I do our best […]
