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 managed to visit a few blogs. I'm hoping this cold passes through quickly. I hope you all have enjoyed your week.

    I hope you get better soon! I know being sick is no fun and your little one being sick is even harder and expecting while you are sick. Oh geez!!

    Totally understandable I know when I was pregnant I could hardly keep my eyes open!! It was a lot of work growing a human!

    Oh, I hope you feel better soon. It's never easy to be sick while caring for little ones but it's so much worse when you're pregnant and already exhausted from that. Take care.

      Jennifer, thank you. I really hope this passes quickly. -I really dislike this feeling. I don't like feeling weak, and unable to do the things I need to get done. I've been resting. :) Thank you for your kind words.

      Angela, aw thank you for your kind words. -I really do appreciate it. I have been resting, this is one of those times where I feel like I really need it. She's doing much better. This cold is at the end of its course. If only I could get rid of this stuffy nose-I'd be more than happy! :) Thank you for stopping by.

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...

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....
