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.

The Crazy Little Lovebirds Link Party 105

  Welcome to The Crazy Little Love Birds Link Party #105! This party offers a platform for sharing inspiring content, including recipes, family-friendly blog posts, crafts, home décor, and other uplifting ideas. Happy Friday! How is everyone doing? While I'm at it, how's the weather where you are? Our temperatures are starting to cool off; tomorrow, they say our high will be in the 60s.  We're still seeing a few hummingbirds at the feeder, and I recently made a ladybug house so that if any want a place to stay when the weather gets colder, they can move right in. I've never had one myself, but I did some research before building it. It's essentially a bug hotel. They have the cutest bee hotel at our local nature center, too. So it helped me with a few different ideas. I hope you are all doing well, and if I haven't told you lately, thank you so much for joining the party each week. I appreciate all of you! Now, onto the wonderful featured posts. Congratulations,...

Little Clay Bowls.

Little clay bowls  I created these simple textured clay bowls, and I'd love it if you created some too! Take some clay and mold them into a round bowl shape. I used air-dry clay for this project.  Allow it to dry completely overnight. Then take some paint and mix a few colors together and paint each bowl. I'm using these cute handmade clay bowls to store some of my jewelry in them.   Enjoy~ **Hello to all my readers, and welcome new readers. It's such a pleasure to have you come along on my journey.
