All things.


All things...

Enjoying  simple days.- More family walks and game nights. 
Reading- I often find myself looking through pregnancy magazines. Finding new healthy recipes or eyeing cool baby gadgets.
Cooking- We've enjoyed a few new recipes. Just recently we purchased a jar of Jerk seasoning from World Market. -Grilled jerk chicken, was delicious! Baked cinnamon roll donuts were also on the menu.
Craving-Blended fruit smoothies, mangoes, avocados, and spicy foods.
Capturing- I've been exploring and capturing moments with our camera. A display of flags filled the streets on Memorial Day.-It was a beautiful sight. Each flag gently waved in the breeze. I've also taken quite a few pictures of my growing belly. -It's changing and it's beautiful. 
Preparing- I've taken the time to gather a few baby supplies. Folding and setting items aside.
Feeling - Pretty darn good!  I've been exercising, drinking tons of water, and eating fruit. I feel pretty good for entering my 24th week of pregnancy. 
Wanting- More rainy days. -Windows open, fresh breezy air..ah it's lovely.
Expecting- The next few months to fly by.
Wearing- Maxi skirts and dresses. At this point in my pregnancy, they are beyond comfortable.

    Such a lovely collection of things happening right now. I'm with you on the loose skirts and dresses in summer pregnancies. Mine were both born in September and I know exactly what you mean. :)

DIY Tea Tin Planter for Sweet Mint

Today’s tiny DIY win: turning an empty lemon‑ginger tea tin into a planter for a sweet mint plant that needed some love. I cleaned the tin, added drainage, and nestled the mint inside. It instantly brightened up the space — the colors on the tin and the fresh green leaves look so sweet together. I love giving everyday items a second life, especially when they end up this cute. Quick Video Tutorial  I began this little project by cleaning out an empty metal tea container that I had saved. It still held a soft scent of lemon and ginger, and I loved the idea of giving it a second life. Once I washed and dried it, the container felt ready for a new purpose.   Next, I used a finishing nail and a hammer to create a few drainage holes in the bottom of the tin. Since metal containers don’t have natural drainage, this step helps keep the roots healthy and prevents the soil from becoming soggy. Having prepared the container, I carefully removed the sweet mint from its original pot. The ...

If you love finding new DIY ideas and learning from other bloggers, you’re in the perfect spot! Happy Friday! I hope you are all doing well. This week was a little rough. It started with my husband having a cough, sore throat, sneezing, and whole-body aches. Of course, that was passed on to the rest of us, but we have been so fortunate to just have a sore throat. This calls for plenty of hydration, vitamin C, and occasional medication. I hope you all had a nice week. Just yesterday, the weather reached 102 degrees! It definitely was hot out. Now, onto the party, we have some wonderful featured posts to share this week. Thank you to everyone who joined last week, and if you are new here, welcome! We're so gl...
