Love me a good road trip. Did 21hours to destin in October from Wisconsin. Love the boots and mullets❤❤❤
Welcome to Leeds!
Love Nana’s art work. The boys are very lucky to get private lessons.
Loved "Where the Red Fern Grows" – I'm 63 and read it in grade school. Also loved a book called "Where the Lillies Bloom" by Bill and Vera Cleaver (published in 1969) which was also made into a movie in 1974.
Great to have you back, but also grateful you were able to spend that time with your family. Nana’s art is so beautiful, it will be such a special time for her, Ezra and the other boys to learn from her. I have said this before…but thank you for being such a blessing in my life!❤
For fresh fennel, I’ve been cutting it into small match sticks. Then I add it in when I sauté cabbage with apples and bacon. I serve it with bratwurst. So good!
When you were in Leeds, you were about ten minutes from my house. Buckees and Basspro, great places to take the boys. So great to have this time with them. Memories are the best souvenir!
I did my senior paper in English on Where The Red Fern Grows! I loved that book so much and it was the first book I remember reading that brought me to tears. 🥹😊 I got an A+ but it was so easy writing about a book that moved me so much. I hope your boys enjoyed it! I was a senior in 1981 but it makes my heart happy to know this book is still being read…or listened to. 😉
We were young group home parents to teen boys who were just a little rough and wooly, and we loved them. THEY asked to watch …Red Fern… oh my goodness! What a tearjerker – those boys had heart. And I was sure I would hate Buckee's – until we stopped at one this summer. Hooked!!
They only gas station review I've ever done. Talk about the bathrooms..
Nana’s art work is amazing. You should sell some of it in your online shop.
You should also budget for getting a picture for each of your kids, and pictures for your house. It will mean so much to you later, when Nana goes home to the Lord.
I loved Where the Red Fern Grows when I was a kid too even tho it was devastating to read 😭. And sooo cute to see the boys checking out Bass Pro, it is kind of a wonderland for outdoor gear!
Glad to see you're back, trip looked fantastic (but also exhausting haha). Your Nana is an awesome painter, and I bet those personal lessons will be memories for many years for your boys. I remember reading Where the Red Fern Grows, for pleasure not for class, while in junior high and bawling my eyes out hahaha. Such a good book!
So glad Nana is doing well and going to share her knowledge and passion for art with the boys, especially Ezra. I love hearing you say Newfoundland. So carefully pronounced, lol. Interesting to see American standards and compare to Canadian equivalents. We do similar stores, just slightly smaller scale.
Love it!! Some of my best memories are driving with the kiddos to Tx and OH from Fl /GA
I somehow knew Bucees would make the cut. =D
Dry fennel for tea!
I sense a calmness about you since the downsizing and homeschooling decision. Less stress and more rest agrees with you!
Precious road trip memories 💞 So lovely to see Nana's art studio and incredible talent. Our little window on your family life is a gift 🙏✨
❤
your back!! hurray
I can't drive more than 4 hours a day and none of that should be at night.
We love going to Bass Pro
Love Ben’s shirt!
Bucees!
Love you, Jess! Thank you for sharing all that you do!
Buckees is on my bucket list! 700+ miles and you have been through how many states? I would still be in Alaska @ 700 miles! 😂😂
Where The Red Fern Grows is a good one, only saw the movie as a kid but what a story 😢
Yay, your kids get to escape the bubble and live real life with you and Miah!!!!
I am convinced that wisdom is imparted to our children through time spent with God-fearing adults. The more time we get with them, the more wisdom we can impart into their lives!
School just pumps random facts into their heads, but doesn't teach them how to apply them into the real world!!!
Hey Jess! I'd love you see what you're doing to compost this winter! With all this poor soil from the store, I'm thinking its time to start making my own compost and I'd love to learn what you're doing.
God bless and welcome to 2025. Cheers to a new growing season.
Blessings on your 2025 adventures!🌻🐛🌿💚🙏💕👵
I have a few friends on my facebook page that want to see everything as well. Because they will never be able to come out to the west. It's nice to share the area with them.
How could I send you a letter. I've been wanting to for some time
