    Happy New Year!! $50 Your Way Giveaway!

    WOW! It’s the first giveaway for 2024!!  Time is flying by. Idaho is still basically snow-free, which is weird. It hasn’t gotten below 20º here. WEIRD winter. Last December we were ready for snow-mageddon! Christmas was good. We did a family Facetime, it was loud and fun. At least I was able to watch everyone open gifts. It’s not as good as being there in person but it’s better than nothing at all. RIGHT!? RIGHT!! The Husband got a new Xbox (A group gift from everyone) and I haven’t seen him since. I got a sublimation printer for crafting. What does that mean? That means I can make fancy tumblers,…

    $50 YOUR Way Giveaway December 2023

    November just FLEW by! Or was it just me? I was so busy in November. GESH! I have a couple of posts coming up in the next few days that will explain JUST how busy! I’m a tired girl. Nothing real in the way of news from The Mountain. We had one day of snow that melted the very next day. We’ve been lucky. I have a feeling Mother Nature is saving up all her energy for a snow-mageddon. We are stocked up with food and plenty of wood, the propane tank is full. The Bull (Good ole John Deere) is ready and roaring to go. We are as ready…

    $50 YOUR Way Monthly Giveaway! November 2023

    Hello, little Peanuts. November is here. We are 62 days away from 2024?!?! WHAT!??! Yup, I’m full of great news today. Christmas is only 55 days away! Today we put the snow tires on my little orange Subaru. You can blame me if it snows tonight. I made a quick trip to California in October to watch my Granddaughter Alice perform Ursula in The Little Mermaid.  Since I still can’t believe the set of pipes on this kid, I’m sharing the video again. She’s ONLY 12!! Wasn’t it just yesterday I was teaching her to read Pajama Time?? One more set of pictures. I finally went and retrieved the SDCard…

    $50 Your Way Giveaway October 2023!!

    Hello, Little Peanuts!! Happy October!!  I am ONLY excited about October because of Halloween. I am NOT ready for snow. I was barely ready for the cold October wind and rain that North Idaho has gotten for the last few days. It’s cold enough to start our very first fire in the new wood-burning stove. Seriously, WHO builds a house on top of a mountain IN IDAHO (almost to the Canadian border) and doesn’t put in a fireplace or a wood-burning stove?!?!  We finally rectified that over the summer. This stove is AMAZING!! THEN!! Because y’all know me and my twisted sense of humor I bought the set of SKULLS!!!…
