    Giveaway October logo

    Giveaway Time! 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!!! The kind that goes into the stove?!!? These made me do the wicked happy laugh!! I LOVE HALLOWEEN!!! I mentioned that Halloween is my Happiest Time Of Year I decorate even though I have NEVER had a single trick-or-treater. We seldom get company ESPECIALLY during the season of…

    $50 Giveaway August

    Hello, Little Peanuts! I hope you had a most excellent July. I had the best July. An amazing family reunion for The Husbands 70th birthday. Look at this post if you would like to see the pictures and the full rundown of the week-long festivities. It was AN AMAZING vacation!! I miss them all so much! After the kids all left, Amazon had their Prime Days. Hummmm I may have (I SO did!) drowned my sorrows in ‘add to cart’ therapy. Oh MYGOOOOOOSH! All those $3.99, $8.99, and $56.99 added up to Wooooooo-Uh-Oh. So, I am going to TRY…. (Ohhhh if you could only hear the laugh track in my head!) not to buy anything on Amazon for the entire month of August. (I can’t even believe I could type that with a straight face!!) Y’all should be taking side bets for how long I last. I am THE WORST impulse buyer E-V-E-R!! Gesh, I hope I last at least through…

    July $50 Giveaway

    Happy July $50 Your Way Giveaway. My monthly updates are really cool actually. Our Stiltz Elevator is in and very, VERY helpful on laundry day and moving furniture! Yes! It is large enough for furniture or two people. Even our fur-baby BEAR would rather ride the elevator than walk up all these stairs. Yes, the real reason is that The Husband (he has MS) has great difficulty walking up the stairs. (You remember the stairs that are different sizes on all floors. GESH!!) Then we FINALLY (been on the list of must haves for 7 years) so we finally ordered our wood-burning stove. Okay, seriously WHO builds a house on a mountain IN IDAHO without a fireplace or wood-burning stove?? We ordered the stove and 2 days later it was installed. DANNNGGGG!! That’s AMAZING right!?? With the Husband’s Birthday today July 1st, the kids are driving up from Southern California to surprise him. I can’t wait!! Non-Camp 2023 starts in…

    $50 Giveaway June

    Hello Little Peanuts! It’s so great to see you again!! Ready for another GIVEAWAY! May’s Update May went by super quick, after the fire and all. The highlight being North Pacific Land Management has returned!! The masticator has been running like crazy! The mulcher is cleaning up the debris. Our little mountain top is looking really nice. Okay, so I wrote that the week of Memorial Day and they haven’t been back. Hummmmm should I be worried?!?! I am. VERY much so. Today, June 1st, the Stiltz elevator is going in. Talk about major upheaval in the craft room. But, as The Husband’s MS progresses an elevator is necessary. Trouble is I designed my craft room with cabinets, counters and my roll top desk to fit perfectly. Now the craft room is…. Well…. A disaster!! The Stiltz will go all 3 floors. I will update pictures as the installation continues.Main floor looks like this right now. Here’s an example of…

    May $50 Giveaway

    Hello, Little Peanuts! I can say that up here in Idaho it’s FINALLY Spring. GESH! Winter was rough this year. I felt like I was going a little bit stir-crazy here at the end. The Husband is seriously LUCKY that he survived. Towards the end here I started to feel a little bit…………………. The Husband is safe now because I can open the doors, I can open the windows. I can work in the yard. Ahhhhhhhhh SPRING!!If you follow me on Instagram you know that I spread 80 (yes, EIGHTY) bags of mulch in the front of the house. HOLY MOLY People…… my body is 100000% saying YOU ARE NOT 20 anymore. But, it was worth all the Tylenol because the front of the house looks amazing. The deer as they wander through the yard leave me flowers that have bloomed (ya know….by poopin’) So, NEW flowers have been popping up!! So pretty! Even sweet Bear is smiling. However, spring…

    April 2022 $50 Giveaway

    Hello Little Peanuts!! FIRST! There are a couple of cha, cha, changes coming this month. (Did anyone else start singing David Bowie style with that intro!?!?) I am taking away the option to tell me how you want your prize in the Giveaway Tools. OHHHHH Settle down!! It’s not that bad, if you will just hear me out. The last few winners never acknowledged their win. Which, okay I get that, everyone is busy. It’s only a blog giveaway. (Which does come out of my pocket. So really, a thank you would be nice. BUT again. I understand. (Ohhhhhh did someone wake up on the bitchy side of the bed?? MAYBE!!) HOWEVER, what if the reason they never acknowledge the win was because the PayPal address was wrong? What if that account was closed? Or I made a typo? So, now y’all get an email and then you can actually watch for your prize to be delivered to your inbox. …
