Grand ole Opry

This has been a bucket list adventure since I was a little girl watching Hee Haw ⭐️We had the opportunity to go visit @opry and do a backstage tour.
.

Upon arriving,you are ushered into this beautiful room that is rich with history all over the walls.To see some of Country Musics Performers ,past and present is amazing.

You are then greeted by a virtual Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood as they walk you through the Opry’s history and how it all started.Seeing the past performances is priceless✨

It was also pretty cool to learn how they brought the wood circle from the Ryman with them when they moved.For performers, it is the highlight if their career to step onto the circle ✨The Opry has a limited amount of performers that get asked to become a member of the Opry . It is a lifetime achievement moment for those that are asked.

.
It was so amazing to see the look at the @opry through the years. It totally took me back to watching the show sitting with my Grandma & Grandpa and the sweet memories⭐️
.

If you are visiting @nashvilletn then you need to put this on your list⭐️
.

a few tips .. DO NOT BUY ONLINE we figured this out the hard way . We bought tickets online and the service fee was slot more then if you just buy on property. The only time it would benefit you to buy online is if you are on a strict timeframe and need to plan your visit .

Stacking Spiders

Stack the spider was a fun dice game we played for math.🕷
.


The little’s competed rolling the dice and seeing who could get the most spiders or bats on their straw before we ran out or the straw was full.
.
It was fun to see how competitive they were and how fast they stacked them…perfect game for fall🍁

Play-Doh Fall Fun Center


Play-doh is so much fun for my little to play with and easily provides an hour or so quiet time for me when .. win for both of us!
.
So I decided to take it up a notch and add some play-doh ( I also found sparkle play-doh ✨ ) and some fun things to mix in and create with like eyeballs, pipe cleaners, buttons, spiders, bats and jewels


.
It turned out so cute! My daughter had a friend over and they played with the kits making all kinds of creations. Ofcourse ,the sparkly jewels and glitter play-doh was their favorites ❤️And I caught the older kids stopping by to watch them and I think secretly wanting to play with it themselves 😁


Here are some of the resources to create your own ..The box to store it is different then the one we used but looks like it would still work and maybe even for travel.When you click on our links below,we receive a portion of your sale..thank you for supporting our blog💛

Gathered thoughts

Welcome November

November is usually a time when throughout the month on various platforms, you will see daily gratitude for the whole month 🍁
.
I always go into the month excited to share all the wonderful blessings each day . Somewhere into the month, life happens and I miss a day , then several , then I just try to finish the month so I can be done with the whole thing
.
What started out as a good thing, usually leaves me with feelings of not so grateful by the time it is done
.
This morning, as we prepare in a hotel in Tennessee,to go to a funeral we never dreamed we would be at this soon , the thoughts of gratefulness flood my mind
.
Our thankfulness today is the hope that God gave us through His Son , Jesus. Because of Jesus,
this isn’t goodbye, it’s “I’ll see you again” and for that we are so thankful 🍁
.
I’m not going to plan on posting daily , but I am hoping to post when there are these moments of gratitude that I don’t want to miss ,show up ❤️Not doing a checklist of completion , but some gathered moments of gratefulness 🍁
.
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, 26 and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?” (‭‭John‬ ‭11‬‬:‭25-26‬ ESV)
