Well lookie there! There is snow atop them there mountains!!! I didn’t even notice it yesterday. Then when I looked back at yesterday’s photo, I notice a little bit of snow. Now there is a lot more this evening. Before we know it, the ground will be covered in snow. One thing I love about winter in Seldovia, although I truly dislike snow, is that Seldovia is so whimsical. The frosted trees, snow covered roofs with chimneys smoking, and the winter harbor is worthy of being a scene in a movie.

The view outside my bedroom window. Seeing it every morning when I get out of bed and stretch, makes me think that although I am dealing with this overwhelming sadness and grieving, the nature outside my window is so beautiful that it puts a smile on my face and I think God for allowing me to wake up to see it. My view outside my window changes daily. It’s not always the same and I like that. Because it makes a little bit of the sadness go away. Eventually my sadness will depart, my season of grief will leave, my joy will return and I will smile again.

Hey Shug! Happy Wednesday. I haven’t posted because I really don’t have anything to post. I have basically just been going into town to my favorite coffee shop for my personal bible study time and just hanging out at the cabin. 2 days and a wake up and then the pups and I are on our way home, after their vet appointment. I am going to be pulling a 150sq ft tiny house to Kenai for a client as well. She will be driving her Van and pulling a cargo trailer. So it will be a caravan. So my plans for travel has changed a bit. I won’t be recording much of the trip because I will be focused on this tiny house. Rather than taking my slow time getting to the Kenai Peninsula, now I will be driving straight through to get to the Alaskan border. But I will take pictures here and there at the stops I always stop at when traveling the ALCAN. This should be fun lol. You all have a great rest of your week and I will talk to you soon. Love ❤️ BYE!

Happy May Day Shug! Funny story. So yesterday I talked about how I was going to start vloging the journey and it would start with me going to the storage unit and going through everything. Well I did a video clip going to the storage unit but once I got there, I left my phone in the truck, totally forgetting that I needed to record some of the storage clean out. So no video lol. BUT, I went through everything. Most of it is soap studio stuff. I left the storage until with one trash bag, a tote to take to the dump and a tote for the thrift store. Not bad. Now all is left to do is to finish up at the cabin. Mostly everything is packed up in 3 totes and I am living out of one of my fancy grocery bags lol. From the looks of this photo I just took, I got some more gray hair lol. It’s all good. I like it. But I am not feeling the extra neck rolls lol. It’s all good as well because as soon as I get back to Seldovia, I am hitting the gym and getting snatched! I miss my old weight. This is what happens when you don’t continue to stay in shape. I have no problem aging and getting gray but I do have a problem with getting out of shape. Anyway, 7 days and a wake up Shug!!

Hey Shug! Well here it is, The Shugga Shack! Isn’t it cute! Each move has always been a fresh start for me. I have moved so many times, mostly due to my time serving in the military. But since getting out, I’ve moved five times and now I am getting ready to make my sixth and final move. I have lived in all types of housing, from apartments, condo’s, townhouses, family style homes, mobile home, tiny home, portable shed to cabin and an RV. Each home I have tried to make them feel peaceful and special place to rest.

Within the entire home, my favorite part of the home is the kitchen. Just look at how adorable my kitchen is!! It’s like the builder was looking through my notes and knew exactly how I wanted my kitchen to look. I have always envisioned my kitchen to be a cozy, rustic little haven. For me, my kitchen is the heart of my homestead, a place to cook comfort food that I love and grew up on. When you look at the picture of my kitchen, I see made from scratch meals, bountiful harvest from the garden being washed and prepped for canning, kombucha being brewed, friends cooking together as we prep for our version of Netflix’s Magnolia’s “Pour It Out” nights and quiet moments of making coffee as I get ready for my morning bible study.

I am excited about my new kitchen and all the memories I will make there. I can’t wait to cook my first Sunday dinner and host small dinner parties for my special friends. What do you like most about your kitchen? What are some of the greatest memories you have made in your kitchen?

Hey Shug! We (me and my 3 four-legged children) are 8 days out before we begin our journey back to Seldovia, Alaska. A lot has been going on and honestly, lol, I will be glad when it is over. There weather here has been crazy with all the severe thunderstorms and either Tornado warnings or actual Tornado’s. And don’t even get me started on the ticks. They are satan’s little spawns!! I hate snow but one’s thing for sure, I rather deal with Alaska’s snow than the severe thunderstorms and Tornadoes this area gets.

Have I told you that I despise moving? When I got to Missouri last May, I never even unpacked lol. But today, I am heading to my friend’s storage unit where most of my stuff is stored and I am going through every single box and tote in there. I have been hanging on to stuff and it is time to let some of it go. It’s just sitting in a box and someone else could probably use it. Plus I am not trying to fill my home up with a lot of things that will not be used. Speaking of home, I can’t wait to show it to you. It’s another tiny house! It’s 416 sq ft, which is a little bit bigger than my 12 x 32 cabin here in Missouri. I have another post I will be posting here shortly about it. How many times have you moved in your lifetime and what do you like most about it?

Hey Shug! I think today I am going to start Vloging for Blueberry Hill Homestead. I am not going to change the name of the Facebook or Instagram page but the YouTube Channel will be called Blueberry Hill Homestead - Seldovia, Alaska. Head over and give us a follow for our crazy homestead adventures and my daily life living in Seldovia.

Hey Shug! So I am in the planning phase for Blueberry Hill Homestead. There’s going to be goats(meat & dairy), chickens (meat & eggs), Tamworth Pigs, raised bed gardens, farm tours and farm stays. This summer til next spring I will work on the land, fencing and structures for the animals. Ext summer, fingers crossed, bring the animals to Blueberry Hill and then Spring/Summer 2027 host first farm tour and farm stays.

I’m excited and can’t wait to get started.
