It’s been a minute since we last posted on a regular schedule. We have had quite a year dealing with Covid ramifications so we took a break from regular posting to lighten the load a bit.
And that break was just what we needed. We were able to take blogging off the plate and spend some much needed energy on one another.
Oldest daughter is busy with school but is having a good year, despite the strangeness of starting the school year online. She’s growing up so fast and she is beautiful. Little daughter is adorable and keeps us on our toes.She is full of sweetness and sass.
We also have recently decorated for fall.
My kiddos helped me and we had a blast.
The Lumber fam kitties are doing well, too.
Gray says this the UPS man sure was nice to give him this box to sit on. Daisy thinks her daddy’s uniform shirt is a perfect blanket .
Covid still has our lives basically shut down. No dance, no school and no church. So in the meantime, we try to fill our time having fun together, learning together and doing things around the house.
Recently we completed two small outdoor projects, which we will share with you soon.
But until then, have a blessed weekend! See you soon.
I apologize for the lack of posts lately but things have been a bit crazy busy around here. We are still self quarantined but things have picked up a bit with us. We are knee deep in house projects and we’ve only just finished school.
This little bumblebee is enjoying a thistle flower drink.
The girls and I have been taking walks each day and we see so many things on our walks that make us smile.
Our neighbor’s cows always stop to watch us walk. They are skittish and won’t come to the fence though. Our lillies are in bloom and they’re beautiful. Our garden is doing well too and we are overrun with squash. The girls are doing great and growing fast. My hair got crazy long but it’s all good. I’m cutting it this week. We learned to make cake in a mug and it is delicious! Recipe soon!!
Thanks for sticking with us! We will be back on regular schedule this week.
Hello, all. I hope everyone is well and staying safe. We are doing well, but due to our struggles with At-Home Learning, our posting schedule has been a little lighter than usual. Bear with us- we are slowly but surely returning to normal.
We’ve passed the time (since we can’t go anywhere) with projects, gardening, and a lot of family fun time (and a little bit of silliness too).
We have been working on making our backyard a space we can all enjoy and love. Recently, I redid a porch swing my grandfather built for me as a teenager. I’ve never had anywhere to hang it so it’s been in my mother’s basement for over a decade. I’m so excited about it!
The two little lumbers are missing their school friends, their church friends and their dance friends. We are doing online learning and a preschool homeschool curriculum, as well as online dance classes with their dance studio. We also watch a lot of online church services. We have just tried to make life as normal and as fun as possible right now to alleviate the uncertain and the anxiety we are currently dealing with. I hope when everything returns to normal they will look back on this time and remember the fun things we did and not the scary things we have experienced.
We have also uploaded some new content to our YouTube channel. It’s pretty silly but a lot of fun. You should really check it out.
We have so many cool things to share with you all next week. Keep in mind we are closed this weekend and will not post, due to the Memorial Day holiday. Have a wonderful weekend and we will see you Wednesday.
Hello, all! We are gearing up for a tremendously busy but tremendously great spring season. I cannot wait to share the wonder we have in store for you all, but I first wanted to catch up a bit. If you follow me on Instagram, some of this will not be new to you. And if you don’t follow me on Insta, you definitely should!
Someone has been bad and needs to go to the Principal’s office!!
Ok, not really! But we did surprise these two with a trip to West Jefferson, Valle Crucis and Boone two weekends ago. They loved it and so did we. We even stopped by my grandma’s house and got to visit with my grandma, aunt and uncle, and cousins on our way home.
We finally got some snow!!
Not long after we came home from the mountains, it started snowing! It didn’t snow a lot but we were out of school two days and the kids enjoyed playing in it.
Cutie sisters
These two stinkers actually got along for a few days and I have pictures to prove it!!
Rehearsal
This one is gearing up for her next competition and has been practicing like crazy! Wish her well because those nerves are really starting to set in.
Selfie queen
This one commandeered my phone and took hundreds of selfies- I made a collage of her best ones…and laughed at how much her “selfie game” has improved.
It’s clean!!
And we have started cleaning out our playroom, since we are about to repurpose this room. Spoiler alert: it’s going to be used for something else, and no, it’s not a nursery for a new baby. Just in case anyone gets confused.
Join us this week for our spring home tour, some beautiful spring quotes and a round up of my favorite spring decor at local retailers. Have a wonderful week!
