At home.

Lately- We started on a few plants indoors. Our daughter enjoys watering and caring for them. Lately- I've purchased fresh flowers.  I love how flowers freshen up a room. Lately- I've been taking more time to care for my skin. I Apply moisturizer during the day and at night.  Lately- I've tried out a few beauty tips. Taking a lemon and applying sugar to the surface.  I  gently rub it against my lips. It's wonderful and your lips will thank you. :) I've also been applying slices of fresh cucumbers over my eyes when I'm resting.- It's so refreshing. Lately- Our daughter has been enjoying her time dancing, singing and just being free. Twirling in her tutu while wearing snow boots.- She's my little sunshine. Lately- I went shopping and picked up a few new items. Earrings, nail polish, a sheer breezy top and a new bracelet.  I've also enjoyed taking time out and soaking my feet. I've been using Tea Tree Oil gen

Happy and thankful.

Happy, thankful....just living. A little bit of everything . Currently: -Looking through cookbooks. I've been eyeing our Ice cream & sorbet recipe book. -Relieved that most of my morning sickness has gone away. -Planning on planting seeds and filling empty pots with a few Spring flowers. -Attending events at our local library with the little one. -Opening windows on warmer days. -Experimenting with natural cleaners. -Enjoy hugs and kisses from our daughter. -Enjoying the time spent with my family. Each morning we wake to a beautiful new day. I've been feeling a bit sluggish, but I'm happy to say my growing baby bump has started to develop. Luckily, I can still see my toes. It's Spring and yes the past few days it has snowed. I was content and spent those cold days indoors. I'm just happy that this week seems to have plenty of sunshine and warmer temps. I'll celebrate by sitting out and soaking up some sun.-Maybe I'll even

Feeling better.

We spent some time playing market.-Fresh produce, milk, scoops of ice cream, pastries, flowers, and pottery. By the time our daughter is done with her shopping, she could probably use two carts instead of one. I enjoy the time that we play together. We're feeling better. This cold seems like a stubborn one. -I'm thankful that I am finally able to fall asleep without tossing and turning most of the night. I've been using our humidifier at night. - It has helped me with my breathing. Last weekend we couldn't resist the warm weather. We headed out to the park and surprisingly it was empty. We played for a little and headed home. I'm finally able to eat without the urge of vomiting, I'm so relieved. I've been enjoying tea (decaf) with milk. - Lately, I've enjoyed fruit and morning smoothies. I snack on carrots and I enjoy a nice turkey sandwich loaded with lettuce and tomatoes. I'm now in my 14th week of pregnancy. -Our daug

Sick days.

Starting last Sunday... Our daughter came down with a cold. -Sneezing, coughing, stuffy nose, and a sore throat. -Of course, I managed to avoid getting sick all the way up until Tuesday. My body has definitely felt the impact of this cold. I've been feeling weak and I haven't had much energy. Between taking care of my daughter and caring for myself it's been a little hectic. I've been cooking soups. I have also made sure that we all stay well hydrated. My husband has been very helpful; he actually took a sick day to care for both my daughter and me. I was able to catch up on some sleep and feel somewhat refreshed. Our daughter wants a lot of cuddles and kisses. -Of course, she can have as many as she wants! I know one day she will grow out of this stage. So for now I cherish these moments that she wants to be close to both her father and me.  I've fallen behind on blogging. - I'm sure you all understand how it is to have sick days. I have man

Weekend. Smiles & Sunny days.

The weather here in Colorado is a bit wacky. -It snowed on Friday. -It was a mixture of rain/snow. I thought it was pretty, but honestly, I wanted to see more of the sun. Even though it was gloomy out on Friday, we did enjoy our time indoors.   The sun came out and it was absolutely beautiful.  -  Saturday came along and we enjoyed a simple morning. My husband made a delicious breakfast and we sat and enjoyed coffee while we talked about our plans for the day. Our daughter ran about. -Dancing, giggling, and chasing our pug around. It was a lovely morning. Saturday afternoon- We headed out to the Library. They had hedgehogs and Tenrecs . ( The  Tenrec  is a mammal of the family Tenrecidae, found on Madagascar and in parts of the African mainland .)  They discussed living environments, food, habits, and qualities of both the hedgehog and tenrecs. After, the kids were able to pet and see them up close. They even made a little hedgehog craft to take ho

When spring finally arrives.

With warmer temps around the corner, I can't help but feel happy and prepare things around here for spring. Each day our daughter has been keeping track of the weather. Today it's going to be around 60 degrees.  Diy Weather Chart Pinterest has so many great ideas for cleaning. I started on this lemon/vinegar garbage disposal cleaner. Just add lemon peels, it asked for water.-I added vinegar instead. (So that it will disinfect the blades.) The lemon leaves a clean citrus smell.  I've been reading through a few books. -Preparing our garden, planning for an outdoor kitchen, and looking over a few baby room designs. I started setting aside some spring hair clips for my daughter. Honestly, she takes them out of her hair when I'm not looking. Just going through her collection made me smile. I'm just so ready for the arrival of spring. I started going through a few purses. And this one is one of my favorites around springtime. It&#
