A new year...

Happy New Year to all my lovely readers.

We celebrated at home. Simple, and peaceful, there's no place like home.
I'm happy to start a new year; with new possibilities, challenges, and goals. 

I didn't make any resolutions; I honestly just want to stay committed to my current goals. Maintaining good health, keeping my faith alive, staying positive, and having a happy home. 

Our home is a place where memories are made, laughter is heard, and a place where we feel completely free. This year; I want to finish a few projects we started. Organizing, researching new healthy recipes, and a few others. 

I want to thank you all for being a part of my blog and sharing in my happiness. Embracing life's little moments. I hope you all have a beautiful year.

    Thanks Stephanie! I'm hoping this new year brings joy and happiness. I am glad you all had such a wonderful celebration. If you have tips on organization I'm always looking for them, I sit on pinterest trying to find ways to keep my house in order. It is slowly getting there.

      Dina, Happy New Year! You're very welcome. Of course I could give you some tips on organization. For started, tackle one room at a time. Start with clearing, and throwing out things you no longer need. -Reuse bins, boxes,-etc. Often times; I will clear out a room or area, then I will wipe down, and dust the area. We recently did our kitchen pantry. Sometime back we purchased some airtight containers. We used them to store flour, sugar, etc. Also in our daughters room we use bins with labels for her toys, learning books, and much more! =) Let me know if that helps a little.

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...

You will learn how to repurpose these jars into stylish and useful organization tools for sewing or crafting supplies. Hello everyone! A while ago, I purchased some pin cushions from my local Dollar Tree and stored them away, completely forgetting about them.
