Home Sweet Hurt

In a small town where it feels like home.

Serving faithfully in the little things.

Life of a small town southerner in training.

Home Sweet Hurt.

Hey y’all! In order to keep up with all of life’s happenings in the Hurt home, I’ve decided to start this blog for family, friends, and folks who stop by along the way! Jim and I moved from Virginia by way of Atlanta, Georgia to Laurel, Mississippi in the summer of 2016. We’ve welcomed the change and have come to embrace small town living with open arms. Other than documenting through my instagram, I haven’t properly recorded our adventures, but that’s about to change! We’re thankful for your interest in our lives, and excited to be sharing life’s adventures with you – the good, the bad, and the blah!

If I’ve learned one thing this pregnancy, it’s that I need help. It’s true. I literally need more help. Tasks that used to be molehills have grown into mountains. I can’t lift certain objects anymore due to their weight. My stamina for all yardwork and housework has decreased significantly. My feet are quickly disappearing beneath … More When Dependency Becomes a Doorway.
