Happy Sunday, and welcome to Dirt Road Adventures: Easter Sunday! This is where we review all the exciting events behind the scenes, on the website, and the sources of inspiration I discovered online during the past week. This weekly recap ensures you don’t miss any of our adventures.
I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We are spending the weekend at our beach cottage and had a wonderful Thanksgiving fish fry and an oyster roast with our beach families.
If you were celebrating Thanksgiving, I hope you were able to spend your holiday with family and friends and that your weekend was filled with blessings.
We did a little shopping but didn’t bring home any significant treasures this trip.
Did you do much shopping for Black Friday and Small Shop Saturday?
Since I didn’t find many items while shopping in Wilmington, several packages will arrive next week. I’ll share some items with you in What’s In My Cart today.
