New House Tour: The Creek

So, I don't consider myself a "woodsy" person, or even an "outdoors" type of person [terrible I know].  I just really HATE bugs.  I'm the girl who screams at spiders, feels like there's bugs all over her when she sees just one ant, and has 3 bottles of OFF in her cabinet. So yeah, not a fan of bugs.  That's why when our surveyor told us there was something we needed to see in the woods behind our house, I said "go for it Corey" and went inside.  On his treasure hunt, Corey found a creek running through our property just a little ways into the woods.  He told me I should go check it out, and of course I laughed and said "that's a funny joke."  A few days later, his family came to visit and they all wanted to see the creek.  I am SUCH a party pooper that I said have fun, gave them the OFF spray, and continued to unpack.  Well, yesterday Corey FINALLY convinced me to go see the creek, so I put on some long pants, cowboy boots, a head scarf, and drowned myself with bug spray.  We set off on our journey to discover the rest of the property not contained within our sort of manicured [and not TOO buggy] yard...

The "entryway"...
 He's pretty cute, huh? :)
 At this time I'd like to point out that Corey got some poison on his leg. [Maybe he should have worn pants like the other people on this hike.]
 It has rained so hard lately that we can hear the water gushing from our back deck.
 This is where I point out that I squealed like a baby almost the whole time.  Also, Corey DIDN'T wear bug spray.  We were walking through clouds of mosquitos, and SOMEONE now has a million mosquito bites to go with his poison rash.  I'd also like to point out that I have ZERO bug bites.  Not too bad for my first trip to the creek. 
Ew.

Now is the time to start planning your supply for the next school year, because Back to School Supplies season is almost here. Keeping track of a child's wallet is important, but it's easy to miss this item. Kids may learn about responsibility and budgeting while using it as a convenient accessory to hold lunch money, school IDs, and other little necessities. On top of that, kid wallets may provide a little flair to their everyday school attire with their trendy patterns and long-lasting materials.
