Life as a lumber: what we’ve been up to

June 26, 2022by LumberInMyMiniVanLeave a Comment

Basically, we have been doing a ton of farm stuff and lots of planting, watering and harvesting.

Our first plant sale is scheduled for next Saturday if you’re local to me. We have lots of herbs and everything is organic.

We’ve also been doing lots of home projects: we painted the front porch and spread some new mulch. We also got the bushes trimmed.

We have been having tons of fun at our church and spending time together.

And I can’t wait to show you some really cool blog posts this week! Have a fantastic Monday!

Life as a lumber: what we’ve been up to

Hello there! I have taken about two weeks off and with good reason: my school year ended and we had the girls’ dance recital.

The recital went well- both girls danced amazingly well and my oldest won an award and a scholarship.

We then followed our favorite band down to Wilmington where we had a wonderful day trip. We ate a delicious meal and shopped in a vintage store…and then attended one fabulous concert.

And this week, a certain young lady gets a little older.

But more about that later. Have a great week! We will post some super cool stuff this week.

We are cruising head first down the hill to my summer vacation. The girls, who are in a different school system and a different schedule, have been out almost four weeks. I’m ready to be out of school with them.

This kid has taken up running and plans to try out for cross country this fall. As a rising sixth grader, she is looking forward to school this fall.

This little lady is a rising first grader and she is super excited!!

We have dropped two episodes of our podcast and we have greatly enjoyed recording them. I am looking forward to publishing more episodes soon.

We are currently revamping our backyard and outdoor spaces. I cannot wait to show you what we are doing.

This brings me to some more news as well. Here is a hint. Drop your guesses in the comments below.

This week, we will feature the following:

A pallet sign craft

Office closet roundup

Gardening items we love

Have a great rest of your weekend! We will see you soon.

Life as a Lumber: What We’ve Been Up To

It’s been a minute since I last updated you on our lives.

These two sweet little stinkers finished their kindergarten and fifth grade years on Thursday. I am a bit jealous, since I don’t get out of school until June 8.

Also, their dance team racked up recently at their last regional dance competition. Em’s solo won fifth place, their large group number won fourth overall, their trio won third overall and their duet won fourth overall. Next stop, Nationals in Sevierville, TN!

My shoulder has healed appropriately and I have been cleared to return to weight lifting. I am focusing on lower weights and higher reps. So far, things are going well. Pray for me, though.

This week, we are focusing on another pallet project, some more Mental Health Awareness Month goodies and a few more fabulous Friday funzies for your enjoyment.

You can expect a new podcast soon as well! I hope you all are well and happy. We will see you again soon!

Hi, all! I hope you are doing well and are in good health. We are all well and have been very busy!

We have three sitting hens at the moment, and currently have three baby chicks. We are also rehoming a rooster at the current moment since we really don’t need two of them.

We recently went to visit my grandmother before she moves back to WV. We had a great visit, and these two little stinkers took a nap on Mamaw’s couch.

I have unfortunately injured my shoulder and will be unable to lift weights for four weeks. Thankfully, it was not a more serious injury and I didn’t have to have any surgery.
