A field trip to The Nature Center in Asheville

A field trip to The Nature Center in Asheville

Two years ago, our science co-op went to The Nature Center in Asheville. The kids had a blast! The Nature Center is one of just a few places to have a Red Wolf re-introduction programs in the country. They also have a Butterfly exhibit, Otter exhibit , a reptile house and so much more.

Throughout the school year and during the summer, The Nature Center also offers educational classes as well as summer camps.

The Nature Center is doing its best to teach everyone about the plants and animals located in the southern Appalachian region. I believe they are doing a fine job of it too. We will definitely be going back soon.








Weekly Weigh-In

It was rough, but I made it through another week. I didn’t keep track on my food, my water OR my exercise. I was just trying to get through the week. I was just really busy with the kids, their schooling and activities, as well as with homeschool group activities.

I was really surprised and happy that not only had I lost the weight I had gained the previous week, but I also lost 2 more lbs. Day by day, prayer by prayer I am getting to where I need to be.

I will be starting over this week with tracking my food, my water and my exercise. I will be taking it day by day. I know with all the love and support I have, I will make it. I will get to my goal weight.

I keep telling myself over and over, “I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me!”

You can too!

My Mother’s Day

My Mother’s Day

I have had a wonderful Mother’s Day. We woke up early and Michael, my oldest cooked breakfast and we went to church. We had a wonderful church service that was dedicated to all the mothers. We then came home and had a great lunch cooked by my best friend, my husband, Buddy. The kids then set the table and cleaned up once we were finished.

After resting for a few minutes, Michael got a call asking him to come into work. We took him into work and then headed to one of my favorite places, the Blue Ridge Parkway. We road from Balsam Mountain up to Waterrock Knob to Cherokee taking pictures along the way. Once we made it to Cherokee, we then took a right and road into the Great Smoky Mountain Park. We road up to Newfound Gap and headed back home. The views God blessed us with today were absolutely gorgeous!!!

Below are a just a few of the many pictures we took. To see the rest of the pictures you can go here.
Hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I do! 🙂
