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. :)

Easy Floral Decoupage Idea for Faux Pumpkin Display

 Hi everyone! I'm excited to share a simple and easy floral pumpkin design you can create quickly. Today, we will make a faux floral pumpkin display using decoupage and a few additional designs. I'm reusing a foam pumpkin that I bought at Dollar Tree. If you’re ready, let’s begin creating an easy floral decoupage faux pumpkin display! Quick video tutorial **Materials needed:** - Acrylic paint - Paintbrush - Floral napkin - Faux pearls - Faux flowers - Craft knife - Scissors - Mod Podge Carefully remove the top of your pumpkin. I used my craft knife to go around the top section, creating a hole at the top. Using a paintbrush, apply acrylic paint to the pumpkin. I chose to paint mine black. Next, use scissors to cut out a few flowers from your napkin. Make sure to remove the second layer of the napkin before cutting out the designs.   Once you have your floral designs cut out, use a paintbrush to apply Mod Podge to the pumpkin. While the Mod Podge is wet, add the floral napkin c...

DIY Floral Wooden Jack‑O’‑Lanterns (Easy Fall Decor)

I’ve been having so much fun creating fall projects this year. These floral wooden jack‑o’‑lanterns  started as simple wooden pumpkins, but with a few pretty transfers and some soft paint colors, they turned into the sweetest little fall accents. I love how the florals give them a cozy, cottage‑style feel while still keeping that classic jack‑o’‑lantern charm. They’re quick to make, easy to customize, and such a cute way to add a warm autumn touch to your home. Watch the video tutorial Materials Wooden pumpkin cutouts Floral transfers Acrylic paint (your chosen colors) Gold acrylic paint Green acrylic paint Mini dowels Hot glue gun + glue sticks Small wooden stands Brown acrylic paint Paintbrushes   Add the floral transfers I started by placing my floral transfers onto each wooden pumpkin, just arranging them until they felt right. Once they were where I wanted them, I used a little rubbing tool to press them down and transfer the design onto the wood. Take your time with this...
