Hello, February 💖

A gentle reminder that this month isn’t just about hearts and flowers—it’s about slowing down, choosing kindness, and finding warmth in the little moments. February teaches us that love comes in many forms: love for family, friends, dreams, work, and most importantly, ourselves.

Here’s to fresh starts, quiet wins, deeper connections, and days filled with gratitude. May this month be soft where you need healing, and bright where you need hope. ✨

Happy February—let’s make it meaningful 🩷

Some things to consider. Especially if you recall the ice storm in 09 and the blizzard in the 90's.
I don't know who compiled this list but there are lots of things I didn't think about. ETA: DO NOT PUT BLANKETS OUT FOR ANIMALS. USE STRAW. BLANKETS WILL FREEZE.
❄️❄️❄️

BEFORE THE STORM (24–48 HOURS AHEAD)
❄️1. Charge all phones, power banks, tablets, and rechargeable lanterns.
❄️2. Fill vehicle gas tanks in case stations lose power.
❄️3. Get cash in small bills in case card systems go down.
❄️4. Pick up prescriptions and essential medications early.
❄️5. Download movies, books, and maps for offline use.
❄️6. Identify one warm room in the house to “camp out” if power fails.
❄️7. Locate water shut-off valve and breaker box now, not later.
❄️8. Set fridge and freezer to colder settings to hold temperature longer.

❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️

WATER AND PIPE PROTECTION
❄️9. Drip faucets on exterior walls when temps drop below freezing.
❄️10. Open cabinet doors under sinks to allow warm air circulation.
❄️11. Disconnect garden hoses from outdoor spigots.
❄️12. Cover outdoor faucets with insulated caps or towels.
❄️13. Know how to shut off water quickly if a pipe bursts.
❄️14. Fill jugs, buckets, or bathtub with water for flushing and washing.

❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️

FOOD AND KITCHEN PREP
❄️15. Keep 3–5 days of no-cook food: peanut butter, tuna, bread, crackers, canned meat, fruit cups.
❄️16. Have manual can opener available.
❄️17. Buy shelf-stable milk or powdered milk if needed.
❄️18. Freeze a few water bottles to act as freezer “ice packs.”
❄️19. Keep a cooler ready to move fridge food outside if power is out and temps are below freezing.
❄️20. Avoid stocking large amounts of perishables right before the storm.

❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️

HEAT AND HOME SAFETY
❄️21. Gather extra blankets, sleeping bags, and warm layers.
❄️22. If using a fireplace, confirm chimney is clear and have dry wood.
❄️23. Never run generators or grills inside garages or homes.
❄️24. Test smoke and carbon-monoxide detectors.
❄️25. Have at least one flashlight per person plus spare batteries.
❄️26. Use battery lanterns instead of candles when possible.

❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️

VEHICLE AND TRAVEL
❄️27. Plan to avoid driving once freezing rain begins.
❄️28. Bridges, overpasses, and shaded roads freeze first.
❄️29. Keep in the car: blanket, water, snacks, phone charger, gloves.
❄️30. Replace old wiper blades and top off washer fluid.
❄️31. Park away from large tree limbs when possible.
❄️32. Assume flights and travel may be disrupted for days.

❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️

POWER OUTAGE PLAN
❄️33. Unplug sensitive electronics to avoid surge damage.
❄️34. Keep one battery radio or weather app for updates.
❄️35. Use surge protectors for TVs and computers.
❄️36. Know where warming centers may be in your parish.
❄️37. Have extension cords ready if using a generator outside.
❄️38. Keep refrigerator closed to preserve cold air.

❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️

PETS AND LIVESTOCK
❄️39. Bring pets indoors with extra food and water.
❄️40. Provide outdoor animals with unfrozen water sources.
❄️41. Add straw or blankets to outdoor shelters.
❄️42. Keep leashes and carriers accessible in case of evacuation.

❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️

MEDICAL AND SPECIAL NEEDS
❄️43. Keep a written list of medications and dosages.
❄️44. Store a small first-aid kit with thermometer and basic meds.
❄️45. Have backup batteries for medical devices.
❄️46. Identify a place with power you could relocate to if needed.

❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️

PROPERTY PROTECTION
❄️47. Move vehicles away from trees or power lines.
❄️48. Secure outdoor furniture and lightweight items.
❄️49. Avoid trimming trees during the storm—do it beforehand.
❄️50. Photograph property for insurance before conditions worsen.

❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️

DURING THE STORM
❄️51. Do not drive unless absolutely necessary.
❄️52. Assume downed lines are live and dangerous.
❄️53. Use only safe indoor heating methods.
❄️54. Check on neighbors, especially elderly, by phone if possible.
❄️55. Report outages to utility companies rather than 911 unless it’s an emergency.

❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️

AFTER THE STORM
❄️56. Walk carefully—ice may refreeze overnight.
❄️57. Check pipes for leaks as temperatures rise.
❄️58. Throw out refrigerated food if above 40°F for more than 4 hours.
❄️59. Avoid DIY electrical repairs around downed lines.
❄️60. Be patient—restoring power after ice can take several days.

❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️

KEY REALITY FOR SOUTHERN ICE EVENTS
❄️A quarter inch of ice can bring scattered outages.
❄️Half an inch can cripple travel and power for days.
❄️Ice is more dangerous than snow for the Deep South

We know we posted something like this yesterday, but with the storm getting closer, we wanted to put another reminder out to make sure everyone is prepared. A snow storm is headed our way this weekend, and now is the time to get ready. Taking a few minutes to prepare can help keep you and your family safe and comfortable.

🧤 Gather warm clothing, blankets, and extra coats
💡 Have flashlights, batteries, and candles ready in case of power outages
💧 Store extra drinking water
🥫 Stock up on non-perishable food and any medications you may need
🔥 Make sure space heaters and fireplaces are safe and working properly
🚗 Fill up your gas tank and keep an emergency kit in your vehicle
📱 Charge phones and portable chargers ahead of time
🏠 Check on elderly neighbors, family, and anyone who may need assistance

Travel may become dangerous, so limit driving if possible and stay updated with local weather alerts. Stay safe, stay warm, and be prepared!

January is Thyroid Awareness Month, a time dedicated to shining a spotlight on one of the body’s most important glands—the thyroid.

This small, butterfly-shaped gland located in your neck plays a big role in regulating your metabolism, energy levels, and overall health.

Our Santa "aka The Boss Man" said today was the day we could break out our finest attire and wear it to work. I think he might have regretted that decision once he got there. 🤣🤣
This is our favorite day as you can tell!!❤️

We had the pleasure of getting to listen to some Christmas carols from the Wayne County High School Cheerleaders this morning. We sure loved hearing them. ❤️

Happy Winter Solstice - the longest of nights, and shortest of days. The pause in the wheel as the sun stands still before the light begins to return....💙
