Living The Harris Life

I played around with my real camera this afternoon.  Sweet tea from Dunkin with a new library book on my Maw Maw's settee. It always sat on her screened in porch when I was little, I am so happy it was passed down to me.  Our flowers are blooming. And the newest member of our family Emma soaking up some sunshine.  Happy Wednesday Friends! Hope 

We have been enjoying ourselves during this extended summer. During Covid-19 school was done by packet/ online, dance by zoom and soccer was cancelled. Well thankfully we have finished the school year out. The kids had amazing teachers and we were so sad the year was cut short with them. Soccer and dance have started back up so the kiddos are excited to have their activities back in person.  During our time at home with no outside activities we had fun and accomplished lots. First we all found a show on Disney plus we all enjoyed, I remember it being on when I was a teenager. Now we are watching the original show that created the spin off series we finished.  Chris and I found a show we really enjoyed on Netflix, I can't wait for season 2 to come out. We also swam and played outside. We visited the bamboo park and also planted flowers ( that are still alive! ) I hope you all have a wonderful week! Hope 

Before our state shut down due to Covid-19 our precious Evie had her winter recital for dance. We so enjoyed watching our girl do what she loves. I love the confidence that dance gives our girl.

I recently became a full time stay at home mom. This is a major change for me and my family. I have worked in some form or fashion since I was 16. I cut back to part time after Evie was born. Since both children started school I worked everyday while they were at school. In March Covid-19 became an issue in Alabama and our schools closed for the remainder of the year. This left us without childcare. We had finically planned for summer childcare but not an extra 2 months of childcare. After Chris and I looked over the numbers and the pros and cons I choose to leave my job. This is a job I had been at for almost 15 years. I am treasuring the time at home with my children. We have definitely had to  make sure we budget well, but the joy of getting to be with my kiddos everyday outweighs any of that and we can make this work. I ...
