Simple Days.













Simple days are here.
I enjoy the morning sunlight.
The taste of grapefruit-these days I'm finding it delicious. Caring for my indoor plants has been enjoyable.
Hanging laundry out when the sun is out and enjoying the
cool breeze coming through an open window.
Our daughter playing peacefully.
My husband reading a good book. -I'm sure these are simple days and I'm enjoying them very much.

Preparing my garden, watering our lawn, and birds chirping.-Spring is here and I've
waited long enough. The nights are still chilly, but it's okay. -With warmer days ahead I'm one happy camper!
Simple days.-Iced lemonade, fresh watermelon blended, and food on the grill. -I'm happy and I hope the same goes for you.

I wear my lulla belly belt so our little one can listen to music. I put my feet up, relax and sometimes even fall asleep while playing music for this baby in my tummy. It may not hear just yet, but we're always happy to include the baby.

I'm so thankful for these simple days.  I feel peaceful, relaxed, and renewed. I hope you all are having simple days. Enjoy your weekend friends.

Colorful Summer Flower: Recycled Paper Towel DIY

  Looking to bring a little sunshine into your space without visiting the craft store? This whimsical summer flower decoration makes great use of what you already have—think beads, pom poms, a humble paper towel tube, and a splash of acrylic paint. Bonus: it’s the perfect way to reuse an old frame and welcome summer in style! What You’ll Need: 1 paper towel tube (emptied, of course!) Acrylic paint (I chose a deeper pink) Craft pom poms (yellow makes a great center!) Assorted beads (medium for the stem, smaller for embellishing the petals) Foam letters (for your summer message) A reused frame (square or any shape of your choice) Scissors Hot glue gun Creating your summer flower decoration Cut the Tube and Shape the Petals :  Start by cutting the paper towel tube into four evenly-sized sections.

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...
