Waiting for Gertrude

Every year our glorious Elf on a Shelf, Gertrude, comes for a visit.  Last year, she had major heart surgery (like Josh did), so she stayed at the North Pole to heal and get ready for this year.  We are prepping for her arrival this year by finding special little treats for her---like this Elf Dust!! We are so excited for her to arrive at our house.  Just a few months to go!

Country Life

Some of the best things about living in the country are hearing the same owl in your neighborhood every single day and finding a beautiful new praying mantis on your door.
