Our adventures together

Oh, how lovely it is to spend time with the ones you love. :) Like many other's I'm sad to see the weekend come to an end so quickly. I am happy to say though that our weekend was absolutely wonderful.


Friday, my daughter and I enjoyed a play indoor picnic. She brought along her teddy bear, and elephant. We set out some play food, and enjoyed some tunes on the radio. We had carrots, apples, oh and of course cookies! :) We danced a little, and my daughter made sure I was eating by feeding me. (hehe) I love her! Of course after our play picnic, we enjoyed some real apples and some peanut butter., along with some pretzels.  
 
 
This weekend we enjoyed some time out in the sun. We went to an event at the park, and our daughter enjoyed some time playing soccer with the soccer buddies group. Of course while out we stopped off at Dutch Bros. Coffee (they are just so friendly) I picked up a green tea lemonade. It was perfect for quenching my thirst after being out in this warm weather.
 
 
While shopping at Lowes, a lady at the register handed our daughter some flowers. They had fallen off of  plants they had displayed in the front of the store. (It was pretty windy out) They were in the process of bringing all the plants inside. The drive home our daughter would not let go of her flowers. Once we arrived home, I put her flowers in my little chick pot, and set them on the windowsill in the kitchen.
 
 
Saturday, we took out a few board games. We played Chutes and Ladders. (Our daughter is not yet old enough for this game, so my husband and I played a round of it. :)
We just recently bought a Dr. Seuss game from Target (It was on their clearance rack)
The game is pretty fun, and very interactive. You pull out three cards-1,2,3, once you pull your cards you do what it says. Example-"Crawl under the thing-a-ma-stick with the cake on top of your head". Such a fun game, for both parents and little ones!
 
 
 
 
We did some more rock painting. My husband decided to paint his rock with a bad hair day (saying it was him) I of course painted another love rock. Our daughter usually combines colors and her rocks are always so pretty. I put them out on the back porch near our miniature water fountain.
 
Today we did our usual Sunday pancake breakfast, and later we plan on going on a family hike.
How was your weekend? I'd love to hear about it! I hope you all have had a wonderful weekend with your love ones.

    Hi Stephanie,
    Sounds like a fun weekend. That Dr. Seuss game sounds fun and I love painted rocks. We just came home from a too filling Sunday spaghetti lunch and then a day at the park chasing balloons as the air whizzed out of them. Looking forward to another blog week with you.

    I think we used to have that same Dr. Seuss game and it was fun! Your daughter sounds like such a cute little girl, always playing and creating. You must have a wonderful time with her.

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...
