Snowy Day

Hello All!! Yes, I'm back! I am so sorry to have left you all for so long, but the Holiday season had me running everywhere!! From extended hours at the photo studio, to traveling to see family, but I adore the holidays so I can't say I regret the sleepless nights and long work days lol.

So back to business ^_^..at the moment I am snowed in and loving it! I mean, how can you not love an excuse to stay in bed all day, watch movies, eat junk food and sleep? But, sometimes I like to change it up, so here a few things I found floating around the internet that are guaranteed to keep you entertained while you're waiting for the snow to go away.


1. SLEEP!! In this day in age when everything is overpriced, its easy to overwork yourself trying to keep up with expenses. Turn off the lights, put your phone on silent, and rest up!!

2. READ!! There's nothing like a good book. Turn off the TV and pick up those books you have tucked away for "when you get the time".

3. Take A Walk. I think snow is one of the most beautiful natural occurrences. Take a stroll around your neighborhood and enjoy nature.


4. Board Games! I love board games lol and let's be honest: if you're not going to play a board game on a day like this, then you're never going to!

5. Write A Letter. Yes, a good ole paper and envelope thing with the stamp on front. Imagine how surprised and pleased you'd be if you received a note from an old friend or loved one just because ^_^

6. Comfort Food. By now, you all know I love food!! lol, pull up a tasty little recipe and try it out. You've got all kinds of time on your hands and you have to eat eventually so you might as well kill to birds with one stone

7. DIY Project. With  prices the way they are crafty, do it yourself projects are super trendy and affordable. Try Pintrest or google a neat project that you can do with things around the house and you'll feel that not only were entertained but constructive on your mini vacation

Big shout out to my cuzzo Lee Cooks for her encouragement!

Diaper Deals!

      Quick little bit of info for mommies and mommies to be. As the arrival of our son approaches, my husband and I have been stocking up on all of the essentials and that, of course, includes diapers. After some solid recommendations, we decided to start out with Pampers and Makers Mark (Sams brand). We headed to Sams (after looking in Target) figuring that, since it's Sams, they should have the best deals. Once I looked at those $45.00 price tags I just couldn't do it. I wanted to make absolutely sure this was the best deal. TO GOOGLE! After a quick search I found that I could buy 216 pampers swaddlers (the economy pack not sold in stores) in size one for only $25.99 from Target.com. The same exact product was being sold for $43.58 at Sams (online). Not only was it less expensive at Target, you could also subscribe to have them automatically delivered every month and receive a 5% discount because of your subscription. Needless to say we high tailed it (maybe more li...

Crooked Forest

Image
So here is a destination I came across a little while ago that I definitely wouldn't mind going to see one day when I begin my world travels :) The Crooked Forest is a grove of oddly shaped pine trees located outside the village of Nowe Czarnowo, in western Poland. The forest contains about 400 pine trees that grow with a 90 degree bend at the base of their trunks. All of the trees are bent northward and surrounded by a larger forest of straight-growing pine trees. The crooked trees were planted around 1930 when the area was inside the German province of Pomerania. It is thought that the trees were formed with a human tool, but the method and motive for creating the grove is not currently known. It appears that the trees were allowed to grow for seven to ten years before being held down and warped by a device. The exact reason why the Germans would want to make crooked trees is unknown, but many people have speculated that they were going to be harvested for ...

Lights Out!

Heeyyyyyyyy ^_^ Finally back!! Whew! From being stuck out of town (Keysville, Va Lawwd have mercy) to coming home to no electricity, these last few days have truly been eventful, but I've thought of my readers everyday :) I am blessed to have my power back on here in Lynchburg Va, however, there are those who don't and if you know someone Please Please call or go and check on them especially if they're elderly or have any medical conditions. This heat isn't making things any better.  I gotta tell ya, I panicked at first lol. We, as a society, have become so dependent on electricity that its hard to function without it...A/C, fans, light, refrigerators, ect...and lets not forget CELLPHONES lol I know people who went to charge their phone before they went to get water and food *Puts hands on hips and shakes head*  However, through all this bad there has been alot of good!! Communities and residents have put aside differences to come together and help each other out. Reg...
