Who Am I...
My name is Linda and Florida the Sunshine State is my home. I have been a blogger for many years. Started off with Home Cooking. It was just for sharing recipes with family and friends, but then it grew and grew. The site was old and it was impossible to update the look. At that time it was decided that I did not have much choice but to start a new blog, Poinsettia Drive. Combining Home Cooking with a new blog let me dabble into other topics. The blog was successful hitting over a million views.
In the last year, my husband and I have been led in a new direction. Starting a new season in our life, which includes building a new home, a big move, and settling into a new lifestyle my heart was being tugged to renaming my blog.
How did Little Cypress Lodge get its name...
Little Cypress Lodge has a deep meaning to me. Before ground breaking on our new home we found a tiny Cypress tree growing right in the middle of where the driveway would be. We dug it up, took it home, and cared for it. It is growing beautifully and we plan on replanting back on the property when the timing is right.
On one of our trips to the new home, my husband and I were planning some landscaping ideas. I mentioned that I would love to create a walkway through a small flower garden, just like the one at my grandfather's lodge. Also somewhere in that conversation, I mentioned we should name our home. We rattled off a few different names. I gasped, my grandfather's fishing lodge was Cypress Lodge. It was a winner so the new homestead is named Little Cypress Lodge, and I took it one step further and said that's the new name for the blog.
What is Little Cypress Lodge about...
The blog has been slow going. I still want to incorporate the Home Cooking Blog recipes along with new recipes we come across.
Modern Farmhouse design and decor inspire me, so I will share that inspiration.
I get excited when I find new products or items, so why keep it to myself. I do share them on my blog. Please know for some items, I make a small commission and for others, I don't.
I also have some wonderful encourages in my life that have boosted my spirit and faith from time to time. I would like to pay that forward by posting encouraging words that may lift you up.
For all the other posts, if I come across something that inspires me at that moment I will share that as well. Who knows what this journey will bring us.
Thank you for visiting.
