Wow... has it really been more than two months since my last post? I knew when my sister texted me, telling me to update my blog, that I was behind, but I didn't realize I was THAT behind!
Time to play catch up, right? So here's a look at some of the highlights of May.
We went to a strawberry festival in one of the little towns (really little towns) near us, Vanceboro. Georgia loved the rides and slides and bouncy houses.
Since Georgia was born three and a half years ago, we have been moving toward eating more and more organic food, raw food and less-processed food. There are many reasons for it. She was born right when my mother died of cancer (and who knows what causes it), my grandmother has cancer, I became more educated about the state of our food today while I was pregnant and on and on. I would say I'm happy with about two-thirds of what we eat. That other third are the occasional treats, meals out at restaurants and those instances of ordering a delivery pizza when I just don't have time for anything else. (yes, it happens)
So what better way to know your food is organic and know exactly where it's coming from than to grow it yourself? We started with planting organic seeds.
... for ICE CREAM! We now have an ice cream truck that comes through our neighborhood on some weekends. The first time we caught it was about three weeks ago, just as I was leaving to photograph someone else's kids. That means I missed Georgia's first ice cream truck experience. Luckily, her daddy was there to make sure she got to pick out a cold treat.
So when the ice cream truck came loudly jingling and jangling through our neighborhood this past weekend, you'd better believe I was there for it!!!
We're are at that time of the year when winter and spring seemed intertwined - mix in a few days of a chilly breeze, toss in a few days of sunshine, add in a few days of cloudy cool skies and follow it up with some flower buds and greening grass. Spring is almost here and lately, we've had some spring-like days in this ending winter season.
Warm sunny weather tends to do this to little three-year-old girls:
It seems such a common thing to do. We live in an area with these unique and beautiful and original places all around us - places other people travel to our area just to see - yet we never give them a thought or a moment or a visit. A little more than a year and a half ago, we moved to an amazing area of our country - there is so much history and natural beauty here - and it is my goal to actually travel in our backyard and not overlook the highlights all around us.
This weekend, we visited the small waterfront town of Swansboro - "the friendly city by the sea." It has been here quite awhile, founded in 1783.
We had a delightful lunch at a place on the water, where my husband thought it would be cute to take a picture of me taking a picture of Georgia while we waited for our food.
