Life without power...

We always ask the question, what would it be like if we didn't have this or that. Well this weekend my family and I are experiencing days without power.

It wouldn't be so bad if we were experiencing true fall weather. Unfortunately, we had at least 6 inches of heavy snow that seems to have taken down trees almost on every block in this area. The temp is down as well. When we stopped in our house to grab a few things, our house was at a chilly 51 degrees. We even attended a birthday party where we all were wearing jackets to stay warm inside the house.

I'm trying not to complain too much as we are lucky that my parents had power all weekend so we didn't have to experience the cold unlike some unfortunate families. The local hotels are booked and apparently it could be this way until the end of the week. I just want to go home.

We know we can blame this on mother nature but our block has been having electric problems for some time now. We have lost power almost 10x in the last year. Sunny, no wind? Power outage. Rainy? Power outage. Hurricane? Power outage. Snow? Power outage. It is just insane. Technically, this is our 2nd outage of the week. Let's just say we are not pleased, I think we have every right at this point.

But I will end my complaints here. I do ask though that you keep my family and all those affected by this same outage in your thoughts!

XOXO

P.s. don't forget, the giveaway to be announced tomorrow as planned.
