weekend love-family time is the best!

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Chalk, park days, paint, endless dancing, these are the joys of having a toddler. I couldn't be happier.
The weather has been lovely here in Colorado, and so we spent a lot of our time outdoors again this weekend.  Besides being outdoors, we did some reading, and crafting (Paint/beaded sun-catchers).
We also did some fun activities on my daughter's easel.
 
We enjoyed planting some new flowers, my daughter painted a clay pot for her very own seeds.
We added a few seeds in her pot, this way she can enjoy helping me when I go out to water my plants she can water hers as well. (Something she really enjoys doing) :) I  did some crafting while sitting out on the back porch. I worked on my mason jar lantern.

My husband made us some delicious chicken quesadilla's on the grill, and jalapeno poppers. He is taking two weeks of leave starting Monday, so that might explain his overly cheerful mood. Family time is always the best! We plan on taking our daughter to the Denver children's museum, and to the aquarium again during his leave.  I've been working on more of my card making so that I can have a few available for when I open my online shop. My husband has been very supportive through it all.
I hope you all have had a lovely weekend with your loved ones as well.
Thank you to all my lovely readers who come by and leave such kind, inspiring messages!

    Yes! Family time is the best but I do give you a lot of credit for all the joy you share because toddler time can be a challenge as well. You're a happy inspiration :)

    Jayne, thank you. I must say I agree, toddler time can also be very challenging. Right now we are going through a few tantrums, but seem to have them under control. :)

Succulent Centerpiece using Dollar Tree Items

Looking to add some greenery to your space?  Hello everyone! Today, we’re going to create a quick and simple succulent display using a round baking pan from Dollar Tree. I completed this craft a while ago, but forgot to share it with you. It's an easy project, and all the materials—except for the spray paint—were purchased at Dollar Tree. You can make this lovely decoration in just 10 minutes. Let’s get started on this succulent decoration together! Materials -One baking pan -Spray paint -Stones/rocks -Crushed glass -Artificial succulents -One glass candle holder Start by applying spray paint to the baking pan. I had a bronze color from a previous project, and it would be a great opportunity to use it again. When applying spray paint, make sure to cover the surrounding area and ensure that the space is well-ventilated.  Once you have painted the pan, allow the paint to dry. I used a heating tool to speed up the drying process, but if you prefer, you can let it air dry, which m...

Keeping Blogging Positive: The Do’s and Don’ts of Community Support

The Do’s and Don’ts in a Blogging Community If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the years of blogging, it’s that the community can be one of the best parts of the whole experience — when we’re actually supporting each other. Blogging isn’t just hitting publish and hoping someone reads it. It’s connecting, showing up for one another, and creating a space where everyone feels welcome to share their voice. But let’s be honest: not every corner of the blogging world feels that way. Sometimes people forget that behind every blog is a real person doing their best. So I wanted to put together a simple, down‑to‑earth list of do’s and don’ts — the things that genuinely help build a positive blogging community, and the things that… well, don’t. Nothing complicated, nothing dramatic. Just the kind of common‑sense, supportive habits that make blogging more enjoyable for all of us. The Do’s: How We Can Lift Each Other Up Do show support in ways that feel natural to you Support doesn’t have to b...

Lately: Things That Have Made My Heart Happy

Lately, I’ve been holding onto the small things—the gentle, unexpected moments that slip in between the busy ones and remind me how much beauty there is in simply being here, together. We’re almost stepping into April, and even though this month has brought its share of mishaps and little detours, it has also offered us so many soft, shining memories. The kind that settle in quietly and stay. These are the moments that have made my heart happy… Welcoming Spring With Fresh Flowers One morning at the market, I picked up a small bundle of spring flowers—nothing extravagant, just simple blooms in soft colors that felt like a whisper of the season ahead. Bringing them home and placing them on the table instantly brightened the whole space. It felt like inviting spring inside, letting a little bit of newness and hope settle into our everyday rhythm. Sunsets That Slow the World Down Evening after evening, the sky has been putting on a show—warm gold melting into rose, fading into deep violet....
