About Me

Rural, GA, United States
I'm an army wife, working mom of 2 kids.! My husband Tim is a Soldier In the army. I work for MWR for the Community Recreation Division as an admin assistant...I absolutely LOVE my job I couldn't have found anything better! My daughter, Kennedie, was born in January of 04 and our son, Cale, was born June of 09. Kennedie is VERY involved in dancing, she is in her 11th season (2019-2020) of being a competitive dancer. It's exhausting but we LOVE it. Cale is starting to REALLY get into sports. He is on a year round wrestling team, and he plays baseball in the spring! This blog started out as a recipe sharing venture but now it's going to turn into a more "granola" way to live. Cheap recipes more homemade recipes and re-purposing things. I'm a crafter at heart so I'm going to throw some of that in there too! On Valentines Day of 2017 we bought our first Travel Trailer. I'll be documenting our travels also on this blog!

Ohana Christmas Party

We celebrated Christmas with our Ohana last Saturday.  It was such a fun time!
 Since we have been an Ohana and everyone living in GA/AL (we all live right on the border - two families in GA and two in AL) I've made us ornaments.
 Training dummy became Santa and held all the secret Santa presents that we drew names for at Thanksgiving.
 Put the combat cubes together and made a table.
 I don't know why this is so blurry :( , we are missing one family that was at a wrestling tournament 2 hours away, trying to get back in time.  We brought two of their kids that stayed back with us.  As you can tell we take a theme seriously.
 My little family.
 We try to go youngest to oldest for the kids lining up for food, but this time some kids got in line and some didn't.  So it was first come first serve.  Aunties and Uncles jumped in where they could to help little ones get food.

 Time for Secret SANTA!
 Kids tearing into their presents!
 Cale got a steak and shake gift card and he was so excited!
 Kennedie got oreo's, external battery charger and a movie theater gift card!
 Kids playing bunco, or trying atleast!

 New leggings. They aren't my usual lularoe - but they were cute!
The adults playing bunco.  I truly love this group of people.  We are helping raise each others children, any one of these parents would run to help the minute we would need them.  Our kids have cousins that live in town and not far away and they get a sense of family and community even if we aren't related by blood.
