Welcome to my weekly update for March 27, 2022! I didn’t think I would read much this week since I was getting ready for my in-laws to visit but all that cleaning left me plenty of time to rip through audiobooks. Add in a couple of books that I was almost finished with last week, Continue Reading…

Welcome to my weekly update for March 20, 2022! We decided to spend last weekend in Columbia, SC. It’s the capital of the state, but–most appealing to me–it’s also next door to Congaree National Park. We’ve visited national parks in Alaska and Hawaii but we’ve never visited this park, located only about three hours away Continue Reading…

Welcome to my weekly update for March 13, 2022! My aunt and uncle visited us for three days last week and we had such a good time with them. We all love to travel so that’s fun to discuss. But most importantly, we’ve barely seen them since 2019? Maybe late 2018? We had them all Continue Reading…

Welcome to my weekly update for March 6, 2022! I just realized that I never shared the results of the Cybils Awards with you. I was a round one panelist for high school nonfiction. We narrowed the list down from 25 nominations to five finalists. On February 14, the winners in all categories were announced. Continue Reading…

Welcome to my weekly update for February 27, 2022! We finally had warm, sunny weather this week. It felt heavenly! On Sunday, we went to the Caw Caw Interpretive Center, a county park that has trails through several different ecosystems. It’s a wildlife refuge but in late winter, we didn’t see many animals. Apparently there’s Continue Reading…

Welcome to my weekly update for February 20, 2022! We went to the Charles Pinckney National Historic Site yesterday. Charles Pinckney was “a principal author and signer of the United States Constitution” according to the NPS website. He was very active in the Constitutional Convention and contributed roughly 28 clauses to the final document, some Continue Reading…

Welcome to my weekly update for February 13, 2022! Happy Super Bowl Sunday! Or, if I have any fellow fans of What We Do in the Shadows out there, Happy Superb Owl Sunday! I’m honestly just here for the food but my husband will be watching and vaguely rooting for the Bengals. I spent a Continue Reading…

Welcome to my weekly update for February 6, 2022! Today is my dad’s birthday so we were able to go home to Asheville to spend the day with him. Happy birthday, Daddy! A few weeks ago I found myself pretty close to Sullivan’s Island while running some errands. It was a beautiful weekday morning so Continue Reading…

Welcome to my weekly update for January 30, 2022! My mom loves reading all of your comments on my blog and she thanks you for the birthday wishes last week. She asked me to post this picture that summarizes how we deal with snow/ice in the south. Pay attention to the headline on the bottom. Continue Reading…

Welcome to my weekly update for January 23, 2022! This has been a low key week. Last weekend was cool and rainy here in Charleston. Back home in Asheville, they did get that 8+” of snow in the forecast so we’re glad we cancelled that trip. As I prep this post on Thursday night, we’re Continue Reading…
