Life in North Carolina

This is how I'm spending my Friday evening. As the nights get cooler I'm more inclined to get out of the house. Enjoy!! I must say the lead singer was easy on the eyes! :) The name of the band is Ultimanotamusic and they are based out of Charlotte, North Carolina.

This is my first time visiting Hobby Lobby and I must say I'm impressed. I love the decor, so many items and styles to choose from. Also they play christian music so we were humming and singing along while browsing/shopping. I will definitely be back!

It's FALL Yall! Who's excited for pumpkin spice, apple crisp and cozy evenings? Come with me to check out the fall goodies at Trader Joes!

Strolling on a cool fall afternoon at the Veterans Park in Huntersville, North Carolina. To our Veterans: THANK YOU!

#bathandbodyworks #shopping #sales #northcarolina I haven't been to a mall in years so I decided to come here today since I know my strip mall store would probably be very crowded. I'm here to get some hand sanitizers that were on sale. Get ready for the big sale in Nov/December all you candle lovers! My favorite scents: Vanilla, Champagne Toast, Strawberry Pound Cake and now NEW to me Pink Velvet Cupcake.

#emptyshelves #foodshortage #fall #christmas #dollartree #northcarolina #lakenorman Come with me to the Dollar Tree to check out the Halloween/Fall and Christmas items. Do you think they also have empty shelves?

I thought the grocery stores had low inventory because of back to school but it seems to be more empty than a month ago. What is really going on? Also I am reviewing a product (NON SPONSORED) just because I want to share with you things that I like, and that are worth sharing!

Today we pause to reflect all the events of 9/11. I'm sure everyone can stop and remember where they were and what they were doing on that horrible day. Thank you to our service men and veterans for all you do for us!

Come along with me as I check out my local Harris Teeter grocery store. Are food shortages coming? Is it just that there are not a lot of workers?

Are there really food shortages or just a labor shortage? Are shelves really empty?? Let's go and find out.

Come along with me as I drive from Charlotte to Greensboro, NC.

Come along as I browse Marshalls and HomeGoods!

Follow me on a quiet Saturday: Coffee~Grocery Shopping~Laundry~Gardening~Cooking.

Drive around Uptown Charlotte with me - take in the views of this beautiful city.

Come with me to Costco. It's been about five years since I had a membership and this is my first time visiting Costco in North Carolina. Also, did Hurricane Ida make her way to North Carolina?

Come with me to Trader Joes to grab a few items then to the park to listen to some live music.

Are you seeing empty shelves in your part of the country? Is it because of Back to school? It it because there are no workers and drivers to deliver food to these stores? Are we headed for a food shortage? Can you survive another lockdown? Well I started thinking about these things and ran to my grocery store to start some food prepping.

Not everyone loves ricotta cheese so I make a lasagna for my son without the ricotta. This quick weeknight dinner is delicious.....ground turkey, mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, pasta sauce and lasagna noodles.

Come along with me as I go to get some freebies compliments of Walmart and Ibotta. Please use my referral code if you don't already have ibotta : ojdsrks. Make sure give me a like, check me out on youtube and instagram!

Come along with me to try out Dunkin Donuts kombucha. They have all kinds of drinks now, even bubble tea!!! Then I go to Dollar Tree but have no success in finding the items I'm looking for.

Happy 4th Yall! come along with me to grab lunch, make a ginger, lemon, pineapple juice, bake cupcakes for my nephews, clean up the kitchen and go to watch the firework show in my community.

How many of you prefer to grocery shop at night? Am I the only one? There's usually no traffic, the stores are emptier and you get to browse without anyone getting in the way. Come along with me to our local Food Lion on a Friday evening.

Take a look around my backyard garden then come along with me to Walmart for a mini haul.
