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.

    Hope you and your little girl are feeling better! Being sick is no fun! :(
    If you're still not feeling well, please rest and take of yourself as much as you can!! Everything else can wait till you're up to it.

      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.

The first one shows one of our lovely hummingbirds relaxing on the swing near the feeder. I love watching them from our dining room window. In the second photo, we had another visitor at the feeder, and the sunlight shining through the window that evening was absolutely beautiful. I'd say this week was a nice one.

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.
