Back in February I wrote a post called "Saying Goodbye to Griffith Rd: Pt. 1" in which I wrote about my grandparents selling their house/farm which was right next door to my childhood home with my parents. I'm sure there was some question as to why I titled that post "part 1"- well here it [...]
In lieu of our usual "Favorite Things Friday", I'm going to be actually sharing tips and tricks for one of our new found favorite family activities, CAMPING! As you may have gathered from my other social media outlets, we finally took the plunge and purchased a travel trailer! We bought it about a month or [...]
Happy Sunday, Y'all! I didn't write anything last week because it was a crazy busy week at work and I was also enjoying the festivities from the holiday week/weekend with some family and friends. We didn't have the boys for the 4th this year, but my sister came home so I was able to spend [...]
I would be lying if I said that I wasn't envious of all of the parents that get to stay home with their kids during the summer months. There is nothing worse than waking up on Tuesday morning with the sun shining and the birds chirping while I have to get myself ready to head [...]
I apologize for being absent the past few weeks. Not only have we been really busy, but we've had a funeral and various other family related matters that have needed our attention. As of Tuesday June 11, it has officially been one year since I started writing here on Picking Up The Pendrick's. WOW. One [...]
Hey guys! I know I don't usually post on Saturdays, but I am dying to share these family photos and these tips that go along with them so I'm doing a little "Surprise Post Saturday" if you will... If you really know me, you know that family pictures are on my list of top 5 [...]
Mornings, UGH. Just the THOUGHT of mornings sometimes causes my heart to palpitate. Morning routines are easy when it's just yourself that you need to get ready, however, once you throw kids into the mix- forget about it. Tranquil coffee sipping mornings where you watch the sunrise and take your time are long gone. Wait, [...]
Historically, Memorial Day has always been one of my favorites because it marks the beginning of summer and warmer weather. After looking at the 10 day forecast and seeing what was in store for the weekend, we were prepared for rain (and thunderstorms) all weekend. We were pleasantly surprised when the forecast was completely wrong, [...]
Can I get an Amen?! No? Okay. Well, I guess I'm hyping this post up a little bit because I'm super excited to share some of my current favorite things with you after the "FTF" posts were taking a sabbatical. A little back story to this- I was having a discussion with Brian the other [...]
If you've read any of my previous posts, you've probably picked up on the fact that we have a "blended family." Our daily lives consist of trying our very best to maneuver around the obstacles that come along with it. Just as it is with raising children, there is no manual that comes with the [...]
