About the Purdys

TheEssentialLife.Us was started in 2017 to share our lives and our passions with the people we love. Homer and Alicia are active in leadership ministry at their local church in Albany, NY and have 5 kids, and one cat named Chester. The essentials to our lives are faith, family and freedom- all of which you’ll find on this blog. We’re glad you stopped by to see what’s new with the Purdys!

We have been waiting 10 YEARS for this picture!! The picture on the left is the day Homer and I saw each other in person for the first time (we met #online....!) and on our way home from our #anniversary weekend in New Hampshire, @homerpurdy3 surprised me and drove us to the EcoTarium in Worcester, Mass. so we could another picture in front of the The Bear. I love this so much!! 😍 ___________________________________ #happiness #anniversary #10yearslater #togetherness #bestfriends #roadtrip #godisgood #thankyoujesus #5kids #hamptonbeach #grizzlybear #planetarium #livewellness
The North Atlantic ocean under the cloudy, gray skies of October has a different kind of beauty. Quieter. Feels a little somber and is more tumultuous, cold and solitary today, but captivating nonetheless. Very captivating in all of its moods, calling to the heart and inspiring the imagination. Great time of reflection on the magnitude and beautiful creativity of God today. ___________________________________________ #beachhair #hamptonbeach #octoberwedding #anniversary #10yearslater #togetherness #windy #messyhair #mondaymorning
Walking on the #boardwalk last night we were stopped by a very tiny littlegirl, no older than 3 with a pretty dress, curly brown hair and bright blue eyes. Encouraged by her momma she shyly handed us a single rose. 🌹 We praised her and thanked her and told her what a nice little girl she was, and she smiled and hid behind her momma's legs and we walked away. We thought it was a sweet, random gesture- the unexpected kindness of strangers. A few minutes later we encountered a woman walking on the boardwalk also holding a single rose. We casually remarked about the little girl handing out roses, until the woman said, "Look at the tag." There, tangled among the ribbons, was a tag with a name, a birth date, and a date of death... Janice Dyer, "Grams".👵 How precious to remember her by such a sweet gesture! We later saw the little girl and her family further down the boardwalk and thanked them and praised the sweet little girl for being so kind and brave for her Grams. Janice Dyer's daughters 👭and her tiny granddaughter were remembering her with love, one year to the day after her death, by handing out her favorite flower to unsuspecting strangers on a balmy evening at the boardwalk at Hampton Beach.🏖 We were among those blessed by the gesture and what a great way to keep alive the memory of Janice Dyer, Grams. Now, we will never forget her either.🥀💔 ____________________________________ #blessed #touched #hamptonbeach #kindness #littlegirls #grandma #memories #rememberance #roses #beach #familybonding #kindnessofstrangers #godisgood ##livewellness #anniversary #motherinheaven #angels
If you dont think we are the kind of people who would have commemorative 10th anniversary😍 shirts made for our celebration vacation so we can match, you are WRONG. 😂 _____________________________________ #10thanniversary #anniversary #togetherness #bestfriends #godisgood #thankyoujesus #roadtrip #twinning #twins #twodorksinlove #madeforeachother #hamptonbeach
#roadtrip once again! Stopped on our way home at a local #farm and @homerpurdy3 bought me the most beautiful bouquet of #fall #flowers! Of course cider donuts were part of the deal too! 😍 what's in our diffuser? @doterra On Guard protective blend bc 'tis the season for germs, and sniffles! _______________________________________ #familybonding #fathersanddaughters #saturdays #livewellness #littlegirls #farms #upstateny #essentialoils #lifeisgood #godisgood #foodpics #donuts
#roadtrip ! Our family is heading down the road a bit to lead #worship and minister the Word at the church of our dear friends! #sundayfunday #churches #godisgood ____________________________________ Got us some #starbucks and diffusing #doterra #peppermint and wild orange for clean air, open airways, and clear minds and hearts. I'm wearing #aromatouch as my fragrance today to support healthy blood flow and peace in my body. For my mind? Fixing myself on the #wordofgod where all that I need is found!
First day of pre-school for our littlest little, our Happy Adelaide. And while little sis is at school, mom and Emmeline head to Starbucks to do schoolwork. The 2018-2019 school year is in full swing! For those wondering 👉 we gave our preschooler Doterra's On Guard Protective Blend to keep her immune system strong. Doterra makes these fantastic baskets that are affordable yet PRICELESS that she can take by mouth to get right into her little system and start protecting her from the first day! #HMU for details! ____________________________________ #homeschooling #homeschool #upstateny #momof5 #sisters #backtoschool #thursdaymotivation #godisgood #secondgrade #preschool #babygirls #5kids #wahm #sahmlife #doterra #livewellness #essentialoils #familylife
Today #BurgerKing has *absolutely* won my loyalty over #mcdonalds as a customer. We decided to go on a family drive and swing into McDonald's bc I've always enjoyed their fries the most. We went out of our way to get there specifically. As a brand new vegetarian (with an occasional fish allowance 🐟) i haven't really explored any #fastfood options (bc we rarely eat out anyway) so I asked them to make me a #cheeseburger, but instead of beef🐄, toss a #fish patty on it (I didnt want a filet-o-fish bc its nasty and I hate the sauce and my friend told me someone found a cancer lump in theirs once🤢 and so i wanted a cheeseburger, but with fish). They said NO. So we got out of line and left and the kids were crying. 🙄 Frustrated I called Burger King to see what #vegatarian options they had. AAAAANNNNDDDDD... they totally have a #morningstar veggie burger. 🍟🍔🌿☘🌱 HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS?! I am so happy. And its delish!! See ya, McDonald's- we are a Burger King family now! They're vegetarian friendly! Yaaaaaayyyyy! _____________________________________ #doterra #delicious #doinglife #familybonding #essentialoils #crunchymama #momof5 #homeschool #homeschooling #upstateny #saturdayafternoon #drivingalong
My dad *hates* to dance, but he did it for me during the father-daughter dance at tonight's wedding festivities! _____________________________________ #fatherdaughter #daddysgirl #essentialoils #dancing #familypic #togetherness #familytime #weddings #livewellness #godisgood #homeschooling #momof5 #saturdays #saturdaynight #weekendvibes
