Loving our little backyard beehive! These boys and girls are always super busy buzzing around. It’s amazingly humbling to sit for a minute and see the activity of these thousands of God’s creatures. The photo above was taken of our hive!
In one of my favorite videos, popular YouTube homesteader Wranglerstar mentions how the incredible work done by honeybees is not left up to chance. The marvelous feat of creating honey comb and honey is definitely the result of a higher power.
Harvesting honey won’t be far off! Honey cookies, honey drizzled in my yogurt or over toast… mmmmm! There are many healthy and delicious uses for honey. Not to mention beeswax candles.
I can see many honey related gifts this Christmas! 
Today has seriously been a Mon-day! Ugh.
Work has been frustrating and unproductive because my IT department insisted I needed a new computer. As expected, the transition to a new computer has not gone smoothly. Then, someone cleaned the fridge and Continue reading “Totally a Monday…and the Duck Song” »
We sang one of my most favorite hymns today. I can’t get it out of my head. ✨🎼
“Lord of all to thee we raise, this our hymn of grateful praise.”

This week has been a struggle to keep my head above water. A few times I was close to going under and giving up. I’ve hardly even been able to keep track of which day it was.
So, today I’m thankful for sunshine. It’s amazing what a little sun on your skin and warm temperatures Continue reading “Gratitude-June 9th” »
Found this beautiful creature in my driveway this morning.
I hate taking my car to be repaired. It’s a total pain in the you-know-where. I recently got a flat tire. When I took it to the shop to be fixed, it was beyond repair. They needed to order one as well as order all new pressure sensors because they were starting to break and fall apart. The sensor was the likely cause of this flat tire. So this meant a second trip to the repair shop. Continue reading “Loose Tire!!!” »
So I’ve been dying to get bees for a few years. Just like having backyard chickens, beekeeping feels so natural and calming. There is something so calming to my soul watching Gods creatures peacefully going about their business, part of a much greater plan in the circle of life. And the process of collecting honey looks like so much fun! Continue reading “Our First Backyard Beehive experience ” »
Today, I was pleasantly surprise when I walked into work and found my desk neat and clean! I completely forgotten I had cleaned it off Friday afternoon.You see, I’m not normally a neat and tidy person. Usually I’m running around like a nut, leaving piles of various things in my wake. Those places include my Jeep, the kitchen counter, couch arm, anywhere in my family room…(you get the point). I’m obviously not a neat freak but I do prefer things to be clean and organized. I just can’t manage it most of the time. Continue reading “Starting a work week off right!” »
The weather is beautiful today. And it’s about time! Bright and sunny with temperatures in the mid-60s. I just came back from a short walk around the office and enjoyed every second of the amazing sunshine!
We’re expecting a nor’easter tomorrow so I’m thankful for every ray of sun. It’s been a hectic and stressful roller coaster of a week. In the rush of life, I need to be a little more grounded and grateful.
Today I’m grateful for sunshine, a healthy grandma who is coming home from the hospital today, and my supportive family.
This weekend is Mother’s Day and I’m absolutely looking forward to the sweet card my little girl has made for me and hidden away so I don’t peek. We’re expecting our first honeybees and that’s thrilling! And of course homemade burgers on the grill.
Wishing all the mamas out there a beautiful Mother’s Day!
