Why I Started Using CBD

I am often asked, “what’s the deal with CBD?  Why do you take it? And why did you decide to create a company during a global pandemic?”  My personal story is a one with twists, turns, and life coming at me with 100 MPH curveballs. I first learned about the benefits of CBD in 2016 … Continue reading Why I Started Using CBD

Adventures in Rincon, Puerto Rico

Ahhh, the year of COVID-19... the plague that stopped the world (minus these mask-toting globetrotters). We decide to roll the dice, grab tickets, and make our way to a more remote section of the island. Dreams of relaxation, beautiful beaches, and local delicacy danced in our heads on the enchanted Eve of Christmas. We were … Continue reading Adventures in Rincon, Puerto Rico

Ole South Thanksgiving in Charleston

Being southern is pretty awesome, but being southern on Thanksgiving is a slice of heaven! After a few rounds with the turkey, dressing, broccoli casserole and too many sides to list (and an early a.m. 10k for me and 13.1 for Rachel) we headed to Charleston for some desired down time! Driving on Thanksgiving night … Continue reading Ole South Thanksgiving in Charleston

The Twins are Off to College!

This was the text I will never forget receiving; My oldest daughters are officially college bound, to the University of Georgia! I am proud of their hard work but mostly proud to see them grow into responsible adults. They made the decision all on their own. UGA was their only choice, no back-up, that was … Continue reading The Twins are Off to College!

Waterfalls Hunters in Alabama

It was with heavy hearts we made the trek to Alabama for a celebration of life. My aunt Lucy passed, she was a special woman who loved the farm life and grew most of her own food (and made the best fried anything you would ever eat). Requiring a place to rest our heads for … Continue reading Waterfalls Hunters in Alabama

This summer we gathered the bulk of our kids, mom & pets out the door for St. Simons Island, GA. Who knew that Prince's "Purple Rain", a night of karaoke and huge … Continue reading 1st Blended Vacation

Exploring Mammoth Cave

Each Christmas our goal is to give one another an experience. If December 2019 was a contest, Rachel receives the championship along with the MVP. She gave me a picture, framed of all the U.S. National Parks, as we visit them, we scratch them off (for the record, I gave her a dating adventure book, … Continue reading Exploring Mammoth Cave

The Key to Happiness is Being Free

This weekend was spent away from traditional societal expectations. 2020 has been the year of quarantine and self-discovery of one’s existence deprived of repression in routine. A beach visit signifies vacation for many.  The angst of lugging objects through sand, the impractical view of life within a trivial, digital display and the fiction belief in … Continue reading The Key to Happiness is Being Free

First Backpacking Adventure

We decided to grab some gear, the basics, for some backpack camping. Putting together the list was quite exhausting and knowing we needed to haul everything in and out limited the need for satellite television.  Our equipment list with purchase links include; SUPPLY LIST We purchased the following from Amazon (VIEW LIST) Featherstone 2 person … Continue reading First Backpacking Adventure

Don’t Church it Up!

Growing up in a southern, Pentecostal church and nurtured primarily by my Granny, my Sunday experience was distinctive (to me anyway). I was telling the story of being mischievous and my Granny decided it was time to learn how to behave. The blend of the Pentecostal church, dancing and the spirit led to an entertaining … Continue reading Don’t Church it Up!
