Simple days...


Lately... 


I've been sipping on hot tea, with lemon and honey. I'm generally not picky when it comes down to tea, but I have been drinking decaf.  -This has been my evening pick-me-up drink. Hot, and simply soothing. 



It snowed for one day. Our pug is not a fan of the snow; so when it snows he makes his way out in a hurry and runs in as soon as possible. On this day we decided to have a play date with a friend and her son. It was nice. -The little ones had so much fun. And it's so nice sitting, enjoying the adult conversation. 




Morning time, I spend it preparing breakfast for my little picky eater. -Apples, waffles, and yogurt. She seems to enjoy dipping her apples into her yogurt. After breakfast, we work on a simple craft. -I take this quiet time for just my daughter, and me. -It's very peaceful. We have been going onto her Abcmouse.com. We have been learning about opposites and enjoying our time reading a few of our favorite books.




For dinner, I prepared a simple dish. -Lemon-roasted chicken with, tomatoes, herbs, and potatoes. For our side, I roasted some cauliflower, with olives. This meal was simple and delicious.


Nights- lately I've enjoyed my sleep more. I normally have a hard time falling asleep. Once we get our little one to sleep, the lights go out, and shortly after we are off to sleep.  

Next week I have both a dental, and doctor's appointment on the same day. I'm okay with my doctor's visit, and I'm actually looking forward to it. -I absolutely love my doctor. -He was the one who performed my surgery for my Endometriosis. As far as my dental visit, it's just a cleaning. Thank goodness. I flinch at the thought of visiting a dental office. -No I'm not kidding! So I'll make sure this weekend we take long park days, enjoy some time out in the sun, and I might even bake. I enjoy my time with my family.  I  hope you all have had a wonderful week.

**Hello new readers and a big thank you to those of you who take the time to visit and leave such kind words. I appreciate all of you.**

    Hi Stephanie,
    Those paw prints in the snow are so cute.
    When my kids were younger, I looked forward to play dates because it allowed me adult time too. Glad you had fun. I'm drooling over the cauliflower & olives. Is it easy to make?
    Have a great weekend!

      Jayne, aw thank you. I love his little paw prints too! Play dates are nice, and you are right adult time is great. The cauliflower and olives are very easy to make.-Add cauliflower, preheat over to 400, and drizzle some olive oil, and add olives. I add in some garlic salt. It's delicious!

      Thanks! I am definitely going to try it. Kids enjoy broccoli but haven't tried cauliflower so this will be a great introduction. Yummmm!

      Jayne, really? Oh my you are brave, Lol. This doctor visit will and should be an easy one. Okay I think there may have been a time I was frightened to go to the doctor's office. -So I think you're on to something. Lol. :)

    Simple days are the best kind, I think. Best of luck with the dentist. I have major, m-a-s-s-i-v-e anxieties about medical care - doctors, dentists, any of them - mostly stemming from my very traumatic pregnancies and births. Seriously, it's crippling. I understand your fears all too well. I am sure you will be fine. I know you will because I am always fine, even though I am scared before I go. :)

      Jennifer, thank you! Oh I know how your visits have gone lately, sorry! I did have to get some work done before, and those crowns are not fun. So I do feel for you. And about doctors, I truly understand where you are coming from. Thank you, I too think I will do fine. You have made me feel a lot better. :)

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....

Transform your glass garlic jars into multi-functional pin cushions with storage by following this creative and practical DIY tutorial. 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.
