Simpsonville Mud Run!

Dear Friends,

We have had such an exciting day!!  Today My sis (Bess)  and I, along with some friends, participated in the Simpsonville Mud Mania! Also known as a....... Mud Run!!! We had sooooo much fun!


Our team was called the Hobbits (can you guess why? lol) Left to Right is: Sarah Kelly, Chloe Patterson, Me and My sis Bess. 

Getting ready to start! My family (including my brother Camilo) was so sweet as to 
come out in the rain, & early in the morning to cheer us on.

And off we go!! 

Our run had 24 obstacles and the course was about 3.5 miles. The obstacles included: climbing up dirt mounds, crawling in trenches full of dirty water, swimming though deeper trenches, crawling under an army jeep, crawling under logs, walking over logs, climbing steep mud hills, scaling an 10. ft. wall, and a large waterfall-- just to name a few. It took us about an 1 and a half to compete because we walked most of it. LOL

Having so much fun! 


Running fast to reach the beautiful finish line! 

I hope you enjoyed it!

Your Friend,
Haviland~

    Hi Haviland! Your blog is lovely! I saw on your blog that you are from the Simpsonville area! I was wondering if you would mind passing along any information that you might know about churches in the area. We are looking for a conservative Christian church in the area that has a focus on family, without so many programs that are offered in today's churches. If you have any suggestions, I'd be very grateful to hear them!
    God bless!

      Hi Kelsey!
      Well, sadly there aren't many churches like that in this area. We have just started (well, about a year ago) attending a church in Simpsonville.
      We would love to have you join us for Worship.​​ We currently meet at:
      1209 North East Main ST
      Unit A
      Simpsonville, SC 29681

Apple Crisp Delight

  I have recently taken a sabbatical from working full-time and found joy and peace in being a full-time housekeeper for a short time. The desire to keep a consistent routine, budget, and menu is incredible. I have always struggled to plan meals and to be creative in the kitchen. Pinterest has been a great tool in helping me with great recipes.  I have been trying to prepare one dessert a week. This past week, I found the best Apple Crisp recipe and I just had to share!  APPLE CRISP

Life Update and Bread Making

It certainly has been a hot minute since I have been able to sit down and type a post to share with everyone. Life seems to be flying by so quickly that I can hardly keep up! We are coming to the end of our 3-year term in Virginia, and I couldn't be more ready to move! We hope to have our PCS timeline soon, but until we have more information, I have been putting more effort into my homemaking habits.      Since I began working more, I haven't been able to do as much as I would like in regard to making our apartment a home. Although I keep my home in tip-top shape, I feel like I haven't had much time to do anything special.  It is now 2024, and I want to put more effort into my home and family. I have put together a few resources from other homemakers to build my own personal homemakers' binder. It helps me to be able to write things down and keep things organized.      I used the "Digital Yearbook of Days" from MarmeeDear ...

A Little Common Sense from Mrs. Dunwoody

"All of us carry in our hearts and minds the image of our ideal home, realized or not. It is a place where we feel we belong, a rightness, at-homeness, a knitting together of self and world...as Dear Mother used to say, "Home is the place where you can restore your mind, body, and soul." We often take our home for granted. But when we steep ourselves in our home, a deep sense of place begins to emerge...Our homes will only be generous and nurturing as the effort we invest in them.  All family members will carry the atmosphere we create in our homes for the rest of their lives." A RECIPE FOR A HAPPY HOME Half a cup of friendship, and a cup of thoughtfulness, creamed together with a pinch of powered tenderness, very lightly beaten in a bowl of loyalty with a cup of faith, one of hope, and one of charity. Be sure to add a spoonful of gaiety that sings, also the ability to laugh at the little things. Moisten with sudden tears of heartfelt sympathy, bake in good-natured ...
