Hi Everyone! I’m finally back. What a nightmare that was. The hurricane came last Sunday and we lost power at 6:30am that morning. We are on well water which means when we lose electricity we also lose water. I did fill my tub up with water Saturday night, and I’m glad I did. That lasted us 1 day. On Monday I went to buy bottled water. Talk about flushing water down the drain. Things got crazy when my husband and kids went into our woods looking for the stream that was there. They filled up tons of empty containers with stream water just so I could flush. Eight days later the eletricity finally came back on. What was the first thing we did? Flush toilets…then shower. CRAZY!
We were very lucky nothing serious happened. Things could have been so much worse. We have a CT girl whose town is on fire. Makes me worry about all of you. I hope you are all safe!
Let’s talk about some good news though! We have lots of new releases! (By the way did you see that Valarie Ostrom is back and exclusive? Make sure you check out her store. You have no idea how excited we are she is back!).
Remember too that you get this free grab bag by Unforgettable Moments when you spend $10!

WOW..EIGHT days without water? That had to be quite an experience! 🙁 I can’t imagine what that would have been like if you didn’t have a stream to get water to flush with. Were you able to save any of your food in the fridge?
Thank you so much for sharing day 8 with me!!
glad you and your family are safe though!
We lost all the food in the fridge and outside freezer. Luckily this was all covered by our insurance company. Let’s just say it was an awful awful week…lol
I live in East Texas and we have SO many fires right now. I have smelled smoke every day for a week and it’s making us all sick. I hope your CT girls family and home is safe. I live in the Tyler area. 5 fires within 40-50 miles! SCARY!
Glad you got your power back! It’s so annoying to not have it! ESPECIALLY if you have no water too! Don’t feel bad though, we ALL would flush the toilet first! lol
