“Baking Day For A Church Potluck! Crossing Fingers It Turns Out!”

Hey Guys!  Wanted to start sharing my recent save. I’m playing rotationally in the beautiful Hylewood by @nilxis! This is my first rotation since finishing doing some of my own builds and I’m excited to share a mix of gameplay, story, and occasionally posed photos. 

Atwood Family Bio:

Hello from Hylewood’s oldest family line, William Atwood’s great grandfather helped discover and found this Island and they have been helping the Island grow ever since. William is in the political career trying to make his way up to mayor. His wife Sarah is the local teacher and they have two beautiful daughters Charlotte (left) and Jessica (right). 

One of the wealthiest families on the Island, William is a perfectionist who deeply cares about appearances. He makes sure his daughters are well behaved straight A+ students, while his wife helps brings out the family’s gentler nurturing side. William is perfectly happy with how life is going, but his wife Sarah thinks that maybe they have room in the family for one more.

Hey guys!

Sorry I dropped off the radar for the past month, I’ve had some crazy real life stuff going on, like my husband being diagnosed with MS. We are still reeling and just trying to adjust our life and help him to heal and recover.

Because of all that I’m taking a little break here. All conversions and stuff are on pause for a bit. I still have some things in my queue so I might post those if I have time, and pop in here and there when I can.

But truth be told I’m an Enneagram nine who likes to shut down and retreat to my ‘inner world’ aka sims when things get too hard but I am really trying to just show up and be present for my real life, even though it’s overwhelming and hard (and let’s be honest I broke down in tears because never did I ever think I’d be worrying about losing my partner and learning how to cope watching him suffer when I am only 26. That was not on my radar)

So anyway, I hope to return eventually because I have some more Saint Greer builds I was really excited to share and more going on in Hylewood. Not to mention a folder full of half finished conversions. But I need to (force myself to) take a step back and just embrace the season we’re in. Any prayers and love is appreciated.

Thanks guys.

~ F A L L ~  Last Pumpkin Spice Latte of the Season. Not ready for winter yet! Trying to finish a remodel on my second bedroom, soon to be office before the snow hits. I’ve decided I’m not much of a painter, but I’m trying my hand at novels. Let’s see how this goes… Also gotta love Willow my photobombing cat! I can’t ever take a photo without her coming up to see what’s going on! Haha, gotta love this sweet fluffy feline. 

I’ve been working so hard and finally I got promoted! I am now officially a teacher! Now I just have to get this mountain of laundry done. Hopefully with this promotion I’ll have more money to put into my house renovation (I’m living in an old Victorian that I inherited from my Nana). For now enjoy my Landry Reno, I just love the tile. I don’t love waiting around for the drier to finish though!

I’m happy to report another friend came all the way to Winchester to visit me! Matt! He was supposed to come to help me pick apples but instead, he just hid behind his little camera. Oh well. Glad for the company even if it was just me picking apples. My plan is to send him lots of pictures of apple pie later to get  back at him.

Hey guys, coming back from my hiatus to release some WIPS for you. I had a few things in my drafts and was able to finish a few up and wanted to get them out to you. Starting today with the biggest set OAK HOUSE by Pierisim with 25 new items and then the next two saturdays I have the Saint Greer town hall set to release and another small kids item. Hope you like them. <3 SimsDeoGloria

Gracie stuck the phone between her ear and shoulder. “Yep Mama, I got your recipe right here. What says fall potluck like pumpkin pie right?” Gracie began putting groceries away as she listened. “That’s my baby girl. Now your bound to make friends with a recipe this good.”

Gracie chuckled, “I’m sure your right. Mama you know Km hardly your little girl anymore right? I’m 24 with a college degree and a real teaching job. And my own house! Will I ever convince you I’m a grown up?”

“First lets get this straight, you will always be my little girl even when your babies have babies. Second, 24 years old is still a baby! You’ve got a lot more growing and learning to do so don’t get a big head now. Everything you got is a gift from the good Lord so remember that.” Gracie could just picture her mother’s forehead filling with concern and her grey eyes filled with faith.

Gracie grabbed the phone with her free hand and shut the fridge door with the other. “Yes Mama, I’ll remember that. I love you. I’ve gotta go and get this pie done!” Gracie said good byes and hung up the phone, enjoying the stained pages of her ‘recipe journal’ she’d been keeping since high school. She began mixing up the recipe but the further she mixed the more she got a sinking feeling she forgot something. Gracie knew if she called her mama back to ask for help she’d never hear the end of it.

Gracie added another half can of pumpkin and crossed her fingers it worked. As the pie came out of the oven it looked normal. “Well lets hope it still tastes just as good.” She mumbled to herself as she threw tin foil over the top and went to change.

“Look Mom! I told you I was making friends” Roxie and I met up for a girls night out. The goal was to find twinkle lights, live music and great dessert. We were so thrilled to find all three, plus get front seats right next to this pretty water fountain! I had such a great time and would love to hang out again! I’d say this girls night out was a success.

Thanks to Frankie @simplyimaginarypeople for this fun challenge and to @velvetpxl for sending me her lovely Roxie Winters!
