Glimpses of My Life Instagram Recap

Today I am starting a new Friday post series. It is called Glimpses of My Life. I am going to share a little behind the scenes look into my every day. Today I am working with a little recap of what has been happening on my Instagram feed lately. I love sharing on Instagram because it is so visual. I am working on a few new projects for this year and I have been sharing some peeks over on my feed. If you are on Instagram you can find me @ASouthernLadysR and I would love for you to come and follow along behind the scenes.

A little update.

I just want to give you a little update on why I have been post few and far between.

 A couple of months ago my daughter started having bad headaches that would last for days. So we have been trying to find out what is causing them and how to get her better. We have been to the doctor and to the hospital twice with an admittance at the beginning of the week.

She has missed 3 weeks of school this because of it and they still have no cause for the headaches. I just wanted to share this and ask that you keep her in your prayers. The pictures that are in this post are a few of the displays at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Scottish Rite.  

My life as seen on Instagram

Looking back at July

Wow

I found this video on Pam Garrison's Site and I just had to share it here. It will make you think and I hope it will make you cry. How many moments are we missing because we are so distracted.

Another Georgia Winter Storm

Crazy Week

It has been a super crazy week for me and my family. On Tuesday the snow can in and then my dad had a stroke. I have been  his primary daytime caregiver since October and so I really started to notice that he was not acting right.  His "new normal" was not how he was. We had to call the EMS and they decided to admit him. 

So we have a snow storm in Georgia and my dad in the hospital. All day Wednesday were couldn't leave the house and so I couldn't get to the hospital. The girls had a great time with the snow and all and I just wanted to leave. Not a very fun snow day for me. 

Today they are out of school again so now that they roads are a little better I will be headed to the hospital and make sure that my dad is alright. (My mom has been staying with him). 

So please keep our family in your prayers. Thanks. 

Snow Day in Georgia

Baby it's cold outside

When I woke up yesterday morning this is what the temperature was.

Needless to say this GA girl is not prepared for this type of cold. It was so cold that they closed schools. (Our buses will not crank when it is this cold, + our kids don't have the right clothes to wait for the bus in -2 wind chill). 

Anastasia thought it was cool to find this big of a chunk of ice in the water bucket outside so she had to bring it in to show me.

This morning it is not much better, but the girls are back in school and they are happy. After almost 3 weeks out they were ready to see their friends, and get out of the house.

Weekend Recap

This was AM on Saturday morning heading to Anastasia's Cattle Show. 

The sun was just coming up when the cow had to be groomed. 

My Shae was being the ever supportive sister and just enjoying hanging out at the show. 

By this time I had already been up for four hours and the show hadn't even begun yet. 

Here she is waiting in line to go in for her first class of the day. 

There were beautiful leaves everywhere so I just had to snap a picture to share. 

Here she is after the last class. All ready to head home for a little nap. 

No nap for us we stopped at Bass Pro Shop on the way home. 

Then Sunday after church we were invited over to our friends house for the first of many Thanksgiving Dinners. We have always felt like family here so it was great.

Back to School Time

Yesterday was the girls first day of school at a new school. They are in 6th & 7th grades and this week is just 1/2 days so I am on the road a lot right now. Next week is full days so it won't be so bad.

I have gotten everything ready for lunches for next week and will be sharing some of the ideas that I had found around the web. I hope to be around here more next week.

15 years

Yesterday was my 15th wedding anniversary.

I look back at this picture and see how young I look in this picture.

Starting a New Plan

This month is a big month for our family. The girls will be starting back to school after 2 years of homeschooling, and I am working on a new business venture that I will be announcing soon. So this is going to be a very busy and very exciting time for me and my family.

Yesterday while we were out picking out school supplies for the girls I found this planner in one of my favorite colors. I was planning on just buying a small pocket planner but I really needed something more so this one ended up coming home with me.

I set down and and got to work planning my month and making sure that I had all my appointments down correctly and started to plan my blog post for the month. Because of how busy I know my month is going to be this will help me post on a consistent basis. I decided to use a 4 color pen to color code my entries.

• Green for the girls
• Blue for the blog
• Purple for work
• Pink for personal

I am a very visual person and I think will help me to find things quickly based on what I needing and keep me better organized.

As much as I love technology, a pen a paper is the best way for me to work out anything and planning things out on paper really works for me.

I found this on Instagram this morning and I really think it is perfect for my life at this stage right now, so I just had to share it..

A Family Day

Yesterday my husband, my girls and I spent the day at a local plantation.

We hiked the area and took in the sights.

Walked through the old homes and buildings on the property and just enjoyed being together.

this is an old store building that was brought on to the site and on the inside it still has all of the shelving that is original to the store.

I love history and learning about new places. This was a great way for us to spend the day together and be outside and enjoy the time spent with each other.
