Weekend love.


We enjoyed the sunny days before the wind, rain, and snow came for a visit. We're expected to have this weather until late Monday night.

Saturday, we attended a family event at our local library. Inspector Magic was there with his animal friends. Kids and parents cheered and laughed along the way. It was a fun event for us all.



During the show, I just had to capture this bonding moment between my daughter and my husband.  These days she's growing fast. We cherish every moment spent with her.



My husband and daughter worked on my Mother's Day breakfast. I must say it was an overload of deliciousness. :) Pancakes with blueberry/orange topping, grilled ham steaks, bacon, and a side of egg. I enjoyed what I could before I became full. I really enjoyed this day. Each day my family makes me feel so loved. I'm very thankful to have them in my life.


My side of mango. This pregnancy has had me indulging in fruit. I absolutely cannot get enough fruit! I'm sure baby girl in my tummy loves it as well. I've been enjoying her more and more lately. She's moving, kicking, and making it known she's in there. 


And of course this weekend we cooked up a new dish using a recipe from Orangette. Hambone, greens, and bean soup. Oh my, it was beyond delicious! 

Our weekend was wonderful. We spent our time together, enjoying, bonding, and loving one another. I honestly wish our days were longer. But with the time we are given, we enjoy every last bit of it. I hope you all have had a wonderful weekend with your loved ones.

Hello and welcome new readers! It's so nice to have you here. :)

    What a nice weekend you had. I was just wondering whether you were getting snow. I hope it melts quickly! It sounds like they treated you very well for Mother's Day. You deserve it. I hope you're feeling well and enjoying the pregnancy more and more these days. :)

      Dina, how did you ever guess it? Lol, yes my old camera broke and I mentioned it in my last post how we picked up a new camera. I'm in love with it. I agree the pictures are cleaner, and I love exploring with it. I'm glad you noticed! I hope you enjoyed your Mother's Day as well. :)

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 ...

Colorful Summer Flower: Recycled Paper Towel DIY

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. Each section will serve as a petal. You should be left with four rings. Next, flatten each ring, then gently reshape it to form soft ovals. These will mimic delicate flower...

If you celebrated Mother's Day, I hope it was lovely. How was your week?  Our week was busy.  We had doctor appointments, finals at school, and my husband has been working on a backyard project.  I've included a collage of our week.  My youngest used my phone camera to take pictures of our blooming clematis vines—one is purple, and the other is deep pink.  My husband received a guitar from his boss at work. He now has this one along with his bass guitar.  I've only seen one hummingbird at our feeders. They're so quick; there may be more.  I've been enjoying my time out on the back covered porch. I added a few new outdoor curtains to the space.  My youngest and my husband made me homemade apple bread on...
