Trail Cam Friday April 9
Well, trail cam Friday is NOT cooperating this week. The most interesting shot was this one! Ahhh the elusive UPS truck. Of course, turkey’s always want their pictures taken. So at least there is that………… All is not lost when I have my camera with me on my hikes. Soooooo here are a few shots I snapped this week as I hiked. Remember the wind storm that we had in March? We lost 30 some trees. BIG 70′ plus trees. To give you an idea of the size of roots I took a picture of my hand with the root. Seriously, the holes that these pulled up trees are DEEP! Seriously, gonna take a lot of work to fill up. Then, I found a stump that was so unique. Then a tree growing between two very large boulders. Truly an amazing sight. It was a great hike. Of course if you follow me on Instagram you know my greatest find this week is a matched set (same buck) of sheds. Soooooooo happy! Here is next years shed in the making. I hope you are all well and not going too crazy staying home. Hopefully the next trail cam shots will…

How To Heal Your Child’s PTSD After A Family Car Accident
In 2019 in the USA, 4,423,000 people sustained injuries that required medical attention, according to a preliminary estimate from the National Safety Council, and children who are in a family car accident need help to recover fully, including mental health support. There is more to healing than seeing the doctor, getting medical treatments and following self-care instructions from doctors. Some kids who have been in car accidents develop PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder). They require emotional support from parents and caregivers and also need professional help to deal with their phobias, anxiety and fears. What Is PTSD, Anyway? Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD for short) is a mental health issue that may impact children or grown-ups. However, kids tend to experience it a little differently to how adults do. In kids and adults, this disorder develops for the same reasons. It may crop up when a person is terrified by an event where serious physical harm occurred or was a possibility. It might also develop due to the loss of a loved one, such as a family member who passed away due to a car accident. What Are The Symptoms? FVF Law Firm asserts that car accidents trigger confusion and stress, and kids are not immune from…

I’m At Home So I’m Gonna Decorate! #PhotoWALL #CouponCode
What do you do when your stuck at home? I thought I would clean. NOPE. Read? Nope. Decorate? YES!! I finally after 2 years have finished my gallery wall in the livingroom. I know that gallery walls aren’t for everyone, but much like my favorite symbol the !!!! I love a huge grouping of pictures. One if my favorite wall displays is in the livingroom. A picture of Alice top center surrounded by pictures I’ve taken from Yosemite to my own yard! Pictures from the trail cam, camera or even my phone. I had one spot that still needed something. I did have a framed watercolor picture in the spot but it just didn’t fit with the picture in my mind. I wanted soft muted color, but one that ‘fit’ the theme of the wall. I found a Watercolor Elk in the Forest picture on a site called PHOTOWALL I knew it would be perfect and I was so right! First, and one of the most exciting aspects is that I was able to specify the EXACT measurement that I wanted. The spot was 15.45″by 15.45″, weird size right? But I wanted it to center in the spot I had chosen.…

April 5th, Sunday Prayer Requests – Post Here For Your Weekly Dose Of Support
I was so out of sorts last week that I totally forgot to write a prayer requests. This sheltering in place is such a weird time in our lives, I believe I can safely say we are all in a weird place! What better time to have a weekly prayer request? My friend Sonya at Sonya’s Happenings and I would love to welcome you to our Sunday Prayer Requests. I almost hate to call these a prayer request because it doesn’t have to be a prayer just send good thoughts, virtual hugs, warm thoughts, words of encouragement or prayers. This is just another good way for us to connect in this time where we have to stay at home. I feel like this week needs a lot of prayers. This COVID-19 virus has gone way past scary. I think we need to send our prayers and good thoughts out to those that are sick. SO MANY prayers need to be sent out to the universe for the people that work in the medical profession and even stores! I am so thankful that I am able to shelter in place. So, if you are new here; Sunday Prayer List is a way…
