Our weekend. Snapshots


Christmas light show at one of the local churches...
They put on this light show every year. 
It's beautiful, and I'm sure setting these lights up is very time-consuming for them.




We also enjoyed the lights in the neighborhood...


So what happens when you forget you have eggs in the refrigerator, and you go out and buy a new carton of eggs? Well..you bake of course. 


Weekend baking- chocolate chip/banana muffins..


Gingerbread people pancakes. My husband made this one morning, and our daughter loved them. 


Lately...my husband has has enjoyed making our coffee using our french press. 

During our walks, we greet a few horses. Our daughter loves saying hello.
This day-the horse hid, and turned away when I tried taking their picture.


And finally....the snow is melting. We made our way to the playground. The sun was shining, and it was absolutely beautiful out.

DIY Tea Tin Planter for Sweet Mint

Today’s tiny DIY win: turning an empty lemon‑ginger tea tin into a planter for a sweet mint plant that needed some love. I cleaned the tin, added drainage, and nestled the mint inside. It instantly brightened up the space — the colors on the tin and the fresh green leaves look so sweet together. I love giving everyday items a second life, especially when they end up this cute. Quick Video Tutorial  I began this little project by cleaning out an empty metal tea container that I had saved. It still held a soft scent of lemon and ginger, and I loved the idea of giving it a second life. Once I washed and dried it, the container felt ready for a new purpose.   Next, I used a finishing nail and a hammer to create a few drainage holes in the bottom of the tin. Since metal containers don’t have natural drainage, this step helps keep the roots healthy and prevents the soil from becoming soggy. Having prepared the container, I carefully removed the sweet mint from its original pot. The ...
