Welcome to the Neighborhood

WELCOME to the Neighborhood!

What a blessing it was for one of our new neighbors to stop by with a little welcome basket. I have moved a few times now and it seems the "friendly neighbor welcome" is something from the past or only seen in movies. It was a much needed break to talk for a few minutes and eat some cake (not shown in picture) they also brought.

Have you ever gotten a welcome from a new neighbor when you move?

Have you ever given a gift to a new neighbor?

I personally cant recall a time that I have gone to a new neighbor to introduce myself but I do remember inviting over a new neighbor for dinner and to this day we are great friends! I really want to work on making sure to take a few minutes to be kind, introduce myself and my family, and bless them with a meal or plant or anything really.

We actually had just met them a few weeks ago as they had just started coming to our church and then what do you know we move very close to them. HOW COOL! :) Always nice to know a new neighbor.

I am very excited to meet more of my new neighbors. :) I have seen several people walking by with their dogs, so many dogs in this neighborhood. It will be an exciting day when we get to add a dog into the mix. :) :)

Another neat thing to note about our neighborhood is they have block meetings at the local school every month. There was a flyer at our door inviting us to the next meeting on Monday. The flyer mentioned they have the following people give reports: Principle, Police Officer, President of the block group, and a random neighbor. It said they will discuss yard clean up, new protocols, safety, and a few other things. I have never seen a group like this in the past so I am very curious to see how it is run and what exactly is discussed.

Has anyone ever been to a community/block group like the one mentioned above?

We are also so thankful for our wonderful friends who blessed us this weekend. We had 5 friends help us load/unload the Uhaul, 2 friends help us scrub the apartment clean (it looked brand new), and 4 friends babysit the kids for us. I must fill out some thank you cards and get some chocolate or something. :)

Well, that is all for now, we still have a lot more unpacking to do. :)

Hope your weekend was wonderful!

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

Description: The first book in The Reading Game learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender. It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long. It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words. These are broken down into six sets of five words. The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game. Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory. Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not). Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Common Mistakes Made When Writing a Will

Writing a will should, by all means, be a simple thing. You want to make sure that your assets are being left to your loved ones and that your final wishes are being fulfilled. Usually, they are rather straightforward, but that doesn’t mean that they are entirely foolproof. Here, we’re going to look at some common issues that can lead to disputes or delays in carrying out your will. Image - CC0 License Not Having It Witnessed Correctly One of the most common mistakes when writing a will is not having it witnessed correctly. Wills generally require the signatures of at least two witnesses who are not beneficiaries or spouses of beneficiaries. If the will is not witnessed in accordance with legal requirements, it may be declared invalid, meaning your estate would be distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. It’s important to follow the witnessing procedures exactly as outlined in your jurisdiction to ensure the will is legally enforceable. Chan...
