Quick Update

Separation Anxiety

The boys and I have all had our bouts with homesickness.  When those you love are in need, you want to be there; and when you can't, it really sucks.  I hope that knowing I can comprehend eases them in some small way.  I can feel the shift in the air though as our first gets are set to arrive.

First Arrivals

So excited!!! Dashon and Sadie will be here in just a bit.  We've worked hard to get the house "guest worthy", some things you just have to live with, or without, though.  Today, we woke to puddles of water coming out from under the fridge. We figured it out, the hose to the ice machine was dry-rotted and broken, Christian turned on the ice machine last night.  

Our other leak is in the boys bath, the toilet is leaking.  We got the necessary replacements at a local hardware store today in Gallow's Bay.

Good news is that the floor under the fridge is clean! (Thank you honey! Love you.)

The Week Ahead

Lots of plans! I hope to take everyone on a boat over to Buck Island, paddle boarding at Rainbow Beach or Limon Beach in Fredriksted, lots of porch time, breakfast at Blue Water Terrace (they have fabulous pancakes and a cute bar area!), drinks at Blue Water Terrace :), and then hit as many beaches at we can.

Pictures coming soon.....

A Little Paradise in VA: Yogaville

Image
 Namaste! I had a bout of writers block but am feeling much better now.  It started out as wanting to just have more experiences to share then there was a moment over summer where I felt as though my life went through a lull and there wasn't a whole lot of interesting things happening.  Netflix may be partly to blame.  I actually researched it a little and found that I'm not the only one who has watched the entirety of an 8 year running show over a couple of months. A couple weeks after my marathon of Grey's Anatomy,  I decided that a trip to Yogaville might be the cure all.  I was in need of some spiritual atmosphere, nature, vegan food, and exercise.  So along with my husband,  my two youngest boys and the two dogs we agreed an adventure was in order.   We rented a quaint 700 sq. ft. cabin and ventured out towards the quiet, yogic community nessled along the James River in Buckingham County, Virginia. On our way! I visited Yogaville a handful of times in the pas

Time to transition....

Celebration time, c'mon! This week has many reasons to celebrate; on Monday my honey and I celebrated our 13 year marriage, and my baby boy turned double digits today, we are settled in our new home, we have planted good seeds,  safe travels, and countless blessings.   I can't believe the transformations we have been through in the last 10, I can't believe the transformations I've been through in the last 3 months! There were a lot of good times with cherished family and friends, new and old.  St. Croix is very hospitable, the people on island are all connected if only that we chose St. Croix.  When you find the select few that you can experience this island in all of it's forms, accept each other's uniqueness and individuality, and have a good time...that's when you know you've had a good time! Water The dry season is making it's mark, the roads are dusty, there is a haze in the air somedays, mosquito's are hungry, rain is cherished.

7 Things I Learned From a Turkey Free Thanksgiving

Image
Today was the first time we chose to have a turkey free Thanksgiving.  By this I mean that there was no turkey prepared, I've personally been turkey free for years.  It was also the first Thanksgiving without our extended family who we missed dearly. We made the decision to be in St. Croix for the holiday this year to accommodate our youngest son who unequivocally wanted to be home for Halloween and Christmas.  However, to his dismay he only fully realized once we arrived that he would be missing Thanksgiving football with his pal Avery, of which he habitually reminds us. We were invited to have dinner with our friends who primarily eat vegetarian.  As we corresponded about the plans for the meal she asked if I was planning on cooking a turkey to which, much to her relief I responded "No!"   After dinner, I asked my husband and boys, "What did you learn from having a turkey free Thanksgiving?" Here are their answers: 1.  WE SAVED A TURKEY'S LIFE I
