So it's been a billion years since I've tended to this blog. Somehow, this amazing little island brings out the blogger in me. We've moved back to our homestead, the tiny gulf island we call home. This place is paradise. It encompasses every thing that I hold dear, nature, family (Nana, Papa, Aunties, Uncles and cousins!) and good wholesome fun. We moved into a lovely little house on my parents property, it's 800 square feet and just right for our little family of 4. We've been spending our time walking in forests, digging our toes into sandy beaches and barbecuing with our amazing family. All of the summer fun has begun; hammock naps, warm mornings at the farmers market, afternoons making sand castles and cloudy days in our back yard forest. Directly behind our little house is a trail that leads all over the island. It's everything a little gulf island forest should be, birch trees, cedar, ferns, and a gorgeous moss covered floor. Wondrous wildlife peeks out every once in a while, so far we've seen; racoons, frogs, slugs, owls, vultures, eagles, sea lions, crabs, starfish and deer! We are desperately trying to live in the moment and enjoy just being here and now.
