Lately.

“Any moment called  now  is always full of possibles.”  ―  China Miéville ,  Kraken Lately. Rain visits us during the day. Nights are cooler and the sun shines perfectly.  We spend our time out on the porch.- Our daughter blowing bubbles and splashing away in her pool. My husband grills and I kick my feet up and enjoy these moments with my family.  Lately. Nature is absolutely beautiful. Rainbows appear after the rain and fields of flowers blow gently in the wind. Normally you can go on long drives and see nothing but sunflowers lining the side of the roads. -It's beautiful.  Lately. I'm nearing the end of this pregnancy.- 38 weeks next week.  I'm nesting, adjusting, and experiencing sleepless nights.  I've been experiencing contractions. Lots of contractions.  I usually sit them out, swaying my hips while sitting on my exercise ball. This is the time that our daughter prepares a special meal (play

Little colorful box monster. A craft for little hands

This hands-on craft is so much fun! At times it can get a little messy, but it's tons of fun. My daughter absolutely enjoyed this fun craft. We named it- Little colorful box monster. It's colorful and designed by my daughter.  For this craft you will need: -An empty box. -We used a tissue box.  -Craft/construction paper -Scissors -Paint -Glue stick  -and anything you would like to add to your little monster. stamps, stickers, beads-etc. Since we used a tissue box we can easily insert items into the monster's mouth. -Mail, battery-operated candles, candy, and more!  Get creative when designing your monster box. Cover your box with craft paper. We chose white paper. This made it easy for my daughter to paint and create her own look for it. We added some teeth and a few sparkly stick-on. I promise your kids will enjoy this craft! :) Thanks for stopping by!  Hello and welcome new readers!

Packing for my hospital stay.

Truth is, I overpacked for my first pregnancy! My stay was short and we packed like we were staying for quite some time. I'm more prepared this time around. Packing less for mommy and baby. These products are a few products I'll pack in my personal bag. Not all products are pictured below. These are just a few.  1. Clean and Clear- Morning burst facial scrub . I absolutely love how refreshing this scrub is. Its light citrus smell will for sure refresh you in the morning. I'm sure this will come in handy for my hospital stay. It's actually a tiny bottle I picked up from Target. 2. Nivea Smooth Sensation . This lotion is light weight and has a nice soft clean scent. My skin tends to dry out. I can use all the moisture I can get.   3. Softsoap body wash. This time I'm packing smaller bottles of each product. It helps to not take up so much room. 4. Body Oil. I currently use this right after my shower. Just a few drops and your skin is left feel

Warm Sunny days.

“Every summer there are a number of nights, not many, but a number, when everything is perfect. The light, the warmth, the smells, the mist, the birdsong – the moths. Who can sleep? Who wants to?”  ―  Fredrik Sjöberg ,  The Fly Trap: A Book about Summer, Islands and the Freedom of Limits Summer happenings Time in my garden. I've had so many visitors in my garden these past few days. The rain has brought moisture and new life. Bumblebees, baby birds, butterflies, caterpillars and hummingbirds.-They all stop by for a brief hello and go on their way.  Arranging flowers. - My daughter has been making her very own flower arrangements from the garden. We snip a few flowers together. She's always prepared, wearing her tiny little garden gloves. Soon after, she arranges her flowers.-Just the way she wants them. It's beautiful and I'm glad she enjoys her arrangement.  The weather is warm. - We still have days that the rain comes

Summer days at home.

It's been raining a lot! We actually had two days that the rain came falling down the entire day. It was dark and gloomy out. A few days before, we took a little trip out to Target. We picked up some puzzles and melty beads. -Their dollar aisle is amazing! We actually ended up throwing in a small simple kite.  At home, we have enjoyed putting together puzzles. Our daughter absolutely loves working on puzzles. Her face lights up and she's so proud when she puts her puzzles together all by herself. Of course, we're proud of her too.   I also came across some melty beads. Oh, what a fun little project to get your hands on. On a rainy evening, we worked on our melty beads. It took some time and with the leftover beads, our daughter will create one of her own. She was such a great helper. After we were all done, we took them and added some magnetic tape on the back and added them to the fridge.    Recently we bought a new cold brew coffee
