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 daughter sings and reads to the baby. She is always saying how she wants to give the baby a bath soon. -She's my cutie pie. 

Next week for my 15-week appointment I will have some blood work and a few weeks after we will have an ultrasound visit. With our daughter, we were seen on the Army post. They actually gave us our first ultrasound earlier in the pregnancy. -So far everything is moving right along. 


We're all pretty excited to start working on our garden. I'm ready for spring! Thank you all for your kind words on my last post. We are feeling much better and I really do appreciate you all being so kind.

  2. I'm so glad you're feeling better. I think the worst is behind you and you can really enjoy this pregnancy now. Not that you weren't, of course, but sickness makes it harder to have fun. I hope your upcoming appointment goes well. :)

  4. Glad you re feeling better. Colds while pregnant are always tough because you can't take anything. I was only nauseous with my first but never sick, sick with either so I can only imagine how tough that is. Excited to hear the gender of the little bean.

2 Easy Ways to Upcycle Glass Jars into DIY Candle Lanterns

I love taking something I already have around the house and giving it a little new life. These two jars started out plain and simple, but with a bit of gallery glass paint, a few butterfly stickers, and some gems, they turned into the sweetest little candle holders. They’re soft, colorful, and full of that handmade charm — the kind of gift that feels personal and thoughtful without being tied to any specific occasion. I used battery‑operated candles inside each jar, which gives them a warm, cozy glow while keeping things safe and easy. They’re perfect for gifting or adding a gentle touch of light to your own space. Video tutorial coming soon... Sometimes the smallest projects bring the softest kind of joy. In today’s quick video, I’m sharing how I decorated a few glass candle holders using paint, stickers, and little gem accents. It’s an easy, calming DIY that adds a warm glow to any corner of your home. I hope it inspires you to create something simple and beautiful for your own spac...
