Where to Next?

Hello, my lovely!

Time is flying over here in SoCal. We moved RV parks last week, we're further inland now, but now we have grass, a hot tub and pool to enjoy! And so many hummingbirds everywhere -- they are gorgeous little creatures, so we are loving it. We've been using our time to start researching on creating a homestead. After we find our property to move to, that is our goal. I will of course be sharing it all on the blog. But for now it's the research phase.

With Love, Melissa Blog Newsletter, Vol. 43 (6/18/24) The Long Drive Home & What We Found There! Hello, my lovely! So we are finally home! I took a couple month break from the blog since we packed a lot of sightseeing and moving research into that time. We drove from Florida back up to New York and stopped in Charleston, Myrtle Beach, and Raleigh along the way. We camped on the beach when we got home to wrap up our travels which was honestly the most perfect way to end our time in the RV,...
