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 tend to my garden.

We started going back to the library.-Reading, dancing, and doing plenty of exploring. It's Spring break and there are so many activities and events to keep kids of all ages busy.

I've started planning my trips to the farmer's market and I'm looking forward to art days on the street.
I'm planning our daughter's birthday. She's turning 3 in April. -She's excited about our trip to the Denver aquarium. The first time we ever went she was younger and I'm sure she doesn't remember much.

 I've been on Pinterest pinning cake recipes like a crazy woman. It looks like I'll be making her a strawberry cake, with fresh strawberries and whipped strawberry frosting. Every day she reminds us that her birthday is in April. Of course, we let her know we haven't forgotten. :)

I still indulge in fruit. -I just can't get enough of it. I've been participating in yoga and a few other daily exercises to boost my energy level. I carry water with me where ever I go.-And if not...I swear my husband could be the water police!  ;)

I've been enjoying my time with my family.-Giggles, hugs, games, cooking, and a whole lot more! It's nice to just be able to enjoy these simple moments in life. So I'm taking a deep breath, kicking my feet up, and saying hello to Spring.

I hope you all are enjoying your Spring break. :)

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...

Today, I have an easy and quick craft idea to share with you that book lovers will surely appreciate.
