Outdoorsy Moments ~ Fall Hiking Recap ~Tishomingo State Park

 Hey beautiful friends!! I like to keep record of my hiking adventures and memory making moments. Since, my computer is now fixed I am FINALLY able to "journal" it here. 

Hubby and I were finally able to make it to Tishomingo State Park in Mississippi. We have had this on our list for a while. It is a 4-hour drive one way, so we made a little overnight trip. 

Tishomingo State Park did NOT disappoint. Living in Mississippi we are super limited on HIKING spots and especially spots that look like this place. It made me feel like I was in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains in Alabama. 

Oh, it was the most perfect lovely hiking day! The weather, the beauty, and the foliage was exactly what I needed. There is nothing a good trail and nature can't solve. :)

I love hiking! It has been such a wonderful outlet!!!

Winter is here now!!!! So, there has been a little less hiking. But I am so ready to hit the trail again. Waterfall chasing is coming soon!

Are you an OUTDOORSY person??? What is your favorite way to spend time outdoors. 

Blessings,

It's Been a While.....

 

Hellllllooooo, beautiful people!!! It has been a while! I ended up purchasing a new computer only for it to be a lemon (a complete waste of money) and it ended up having a manufacturing defect. Then I had to send it off and then it wasn't fixed when it returned. It has been a pickle of a mess. BUT.... we are getting back into the swing. Holidays came with a blur and many topsy turvy moments of life in between but hopefully I can pop on and connect with you all more regularly. I HAVE MISSED YOU ALL!!!!!!!! I have SERIOUSLY missed visiting your blogs. 

I am sharing a couple of my favorite January quotes that I have saved this month that are speaking to me. I love me some quotes. Are you a quote lover???

I will be honest; it has been a very trying few months for our family. I cannot go into detail due to the privacy of my family, but I am slowly and I truly mean SLOWLY trying to mend and piece back this life of mine. I am thankful for the undergirding of strength I have from the Lord and a couple of friends. 

As I am doing that "mending" I have definitely found myself more at home which I am a homebody in general (except for a good hike or outdoor trip) and I am learning to practice the art of QUIET. YES.....to me it is an art!!! It takes practice, skill, and endurance. In the meantime, I am trying to get motivated to get our home in order and back to normal. 

What is your go to way to soak in quiet moments?

Computer Broke

 Good day beautiful friends! I have been missing in action here because when I got back on my trip my computer finally broke. It is hard to do a lot of what I want on my phone. I hope to be back soon and visiting your blogs as well! Until then….. Be Blessed!  

My View

 Hello beautiful friends. This is my view out my window this morning. The sun ☀️ was rising. Normally, I am more of a nature kind of sunrise lady but this was a pretty sight. 

Well, my breakfast was quite unique. I chose biscuits and gravy and an egg. It was delivered like this. It was good but different. I didn’t care for the chicken sausage. I didnt realize it was chicken sausage. But it was still good.

I am about to head to my conference. I wanted to pop in! I hope to catch up reading all of your posts soon! 

Blessings! 

Thrifting for FREE!

 

Hello beautiful ladies! Sorry, I have been a way a bit! This past weekend was filled with ministry obligations. Now, I’m in a hotel room currently heading to Indianapolis for a conference. I am so incredibly excited. 

Anyway…. I have been doing a little thrifting here and there lately! I went to a church giveaway day. This church had a “yard sale” set up but every single thing was free. I got several puzzles for the fall, a beautiful picnic basket that I have actually been searching for, a cookbook, a tote bag and several name brand sweaters and shirts! It was so incredibly fun and nice. 

It was so incredibly kind of this church to open up and bless the community. 

Do you thrift?! If so, what are some of your favorite things you thrift for?

With Love,

Chrissy T

Cookies!! 190!

Hello! My beautiful friends….. the oven has been baking away here at our cozy abode! We have a guest outreach tomorrow at church. Today, I baked 190 cookies, bagged them up, and made handwritten cards for each guest we have had this year that visited the church! 

I know this isn’t an interesting post! But  I have made a commitment to myself to post regularly and I haven’t had a lot of time to really post. There has been so much I had planned to post but life is happening!

Aren’t these bags the cutest?! And the little sticker?!?!

I will show the final result of the full package later. 

Earlier this week my mentor and I chose a few ladies to “mug” and it was so much fun! I loved seeing their smiles and spending time spreading joy with a good friend!

I mean aren’t these too cute?!?! We had so much fun putting these together! 

Anyway…I have a big weekend ahead! I am winding down and cozying up with a book! Have a wonderful weekend!

With Love,

Chrissy T
