What You’ll Find Here
Flower Diaries: Our beginner gardening journey in zone 7b, western NC. I love flowers of all types, but especially peonies. This spring, we planted some roots, bought a couple of plants, and transplanted one big plant that was given to us. Our flower garden is definitely a work in progress and the learning curve is…well, in progress. Scott has blueberry bushes galore - summertime is our pickin’ season. I’ll share tips I learn about gardening, hopefully with more successes than trails, but…
Nurse Life, Round 2: I’ve been a LPN since 1996. After always wanting to go back to school and get my RN, life finally changed and now I have the support, love and encouragement to do it. School - specifically college - isn’t like it was way back last century. I’ll tell you all about it…and probably cry a little along the way, as well. Excited, scared, nervous, all the emotions, all while working full time and building a life and home with Scott.
Pages & Lattes: Books I’m reading and great coffee shops. I want to learn all kinds of make-at-home latte recipes and am on the search for the perfect latte and coffee maker. But I haven’t found “the” one…yet. I really need a bestie that works at Dunkin and/or Starbucks to share some trade secrets with me. Anyone? Oh, speaking of books, be sure and follow my small bookstagram account over on IG. Link at the bottom of the page. If you do, be sure and comment - let me know you’re there from here. :)
Mountains to Coast: I have always wanted to live near the coast. I love the ocean, the summer, the sunshine. Imagine how perfect life felt when I found a man who’s willing to help make that dream a reality. Scott wants to fish, so we’ve compromised. If he takes me to the beach, he can buy a boat. It’s a goal we are working on together, and “together” is the best place to be.
Family & Fur: Family adventures, stories and happenings. Day trips, family trips, and fun things we do. And - Rubble, the goofy, all-black-except-for-a-little-white-on-his-bottom-lip golden doodle that is the joy, chaos and nerve wracking toddler that keeps us on our toes. Pray for us. Keeping him out of the flowers is only part of the fun. Tune in for Rubble’s Report and learn how he came into our lives on March 16, 2026.
