Full of joy.












Celebration// This weekend we celebrated my husband's birthday.-Simple and sweet.

Outdoor fun// We attended the PBS Fun Fest.- Performances, live music, food, booths, PBS characters and much more. It was fun for the whole family. :)

Enjoyed// An early Dinner at Salt Grass. I ordered a plate of baby back ribs.-I wasn't very hungry, but I'm glad my husband enjoyed his birthday dinner.
Later in the weekend we had two thunder storms. -Each storm produced hail and quite a bit of rain.

In the kitchen// I baked some delicious Coffee cupcakes topped with tiramisu and chocolate covered espresso coffee beans. My husband is a bit of a coffee lover.- I used decaf coffee for this recipe and it turned out great!
Covered coffee beans- purchased at World Market. Recipe for Coffee Cupcakes-Recipe.com

Home// After a long weekend, we enjoyed when our time was spent at home. Home is where I feel at peace. I enjoyed some time out in my garden. Replanting a few flowers and adding a new strawberry plant to my garden.

Together// This weekend was filled with so much joy. -Hugs, laughter and memories made. I can't wait for our little one in my tummy to join us. We are all  waiting patiently for her arrival. Together, we all enjoyed a weekend filled with love, joy and happiness.

    Looks like it was a very fun weekend for you and those cupcakes look wonderful! Yum! I wonder if they could be made with tea instead? Will coffee hurts my tummy now!

    The PBS festival is awesome!!!!! Wow I wish we had one here!

      Dina, it was tons of fun! You may actually have events there like this. Just do a search for your area and it may pop up! I'm sure you could replace the coffee with tea. We used decaf since I'm pregnant. I don't drink caffeinated drinks during pregnancy. :) I hope all is well with you friend.

    I always love your pictures. So professional looking. My husband is debating on applying to a job in Colorado. It always looks like such a gorgeous, neat place to live.

      Angela, thank you so much! Honestly I never thought I would love it here as much as I do. I was in Arizona before moving here and I must say this place has so much to do! I think you all would love it! -Especially if you all are outdoors kind of people. :)

Two good scents- Review & giveaway

 (Review and giveaway)- Two Good Scents  Sugar Scrubs These days I'm feeling very pregnant. So when the chance comes along to pamper myself, I'm definitely up for it. We can all use some pampering from time to time. :) I was contacted by Nancy over at http://www.twogoodscents.com/. She kindly offered to send me some of her products in exchange for a fair review of the items I get. No other compensation was provided for this review.  I received my products in a padded envelope stuffed with decorative tissue paper.  The containers were well-padded to protect the plastic containers.  After opening up the package, I took out the sealed jars, which had a professional look along with cute labels.  I opened each of them, one at a time.  My initial reactions were to the scents of the scrubs.  My personal favorite was the blossom scrub, which was reminiscent of a nice, clean, soft, flowery soap bar.  The others I received w...

 Are you l ooking for a quick and easy Thanksgiving DIY project? Learning to create upcycled cardboard place cards for your Thanksgiving table using simple materials. Great for a festive touch!

I used sections that are 3x8 inches in size. Next, fold each cardboard strip in half and flatten them out by pressing the folded sections together. Then, use a paint marker to write the names and add any designs you want on the cards. After that, use floral cutters to cut faux flowers that you want to use on the place cards. Attach the flo...
