The blogger behind the blog.- A little about me.



Get to know me! With the help of one of my awesome friends, I've answered a few questions on blogging and life. Enjoy~

Q- Do you enjoy blogging? And why?
A-I truly enjoy sharing my journey with all of you.- My thoughts, photos, current happenings, and much more. It really brings peace within. I honestly don't blog for followers. (If you are a regular reader of my blog, you might have noticed that I've taken down my followers). I actually did that some time back. There are a lot of bloggers out there that compare followers and comments, etc. I'm definitely not one. (So please don't leave me a link saying if you follow my blog, I'll follow you back). Honestly, we should all read blogs because we enjoy them. Not because you want a follow back. All I want is for you to come along on my blogging journey and enjoy it! -Whether you follow me, or you're just a visitor.


Q-Tell us a little about the blogger...
A-I'm a simple person, who tends to love with all my heart. I make friends easily and I'm a great listener. - I'm often told this, so I've started to believe it.  I  blog and I also keep a few journals around my home. I absolutely love being hands-on! I enjoy crafts and simple DIY projects. I'm a mommy to two girls. Ages, four and one. We're always taking trips to the library and other social events. I've been married for 13 years, come January. - I feel so blessed. I love gardening and reading. I cherish simple moments. I love to laugh and I'm a bit of a coffee lover.

Q- When did you start blogging?
A-I started blogging in 2010. My husband was currently deployed. It was actually his last tour and so I needed to find something to help take my stress away. Since then, I have enjoyed blogging so much.

Q-What's one of your favorite quotes?
A-Feelings are just visitors. Let them come and go.- Mooji

Q-What advice do you have on living life each day?
A-Get up! Be thankful and give thanks. You're here.- Now go with the flow. Just live!- I think you'll do great.

Q-What blogs do you enjoy reading? Do you visit them often?
 A-I love variety! - Blogs on life, parenting, gardening, hobbies, and much more.  I try my best to visit all the blogs I enjoy reading.  And if you visit my blog and would like for me to check yours out, I'd love to! Just leave me a link and I'll be sure to visit.

Q-What's a favorite post from the past on your blog?
A-I'd have to say my post, It's a post to simply remind us of the simple things in life.

Q- Are you currently missing someone?
A-Yes, I am. My friend Rina. We lost her in January. It was very hard, and I'm finding that it is still hard. But I try and think of all the happy moments we shared. She truly was a loving soul.

Q- Any last advice you would like to share?
A-Start over! Today is a new day.- Make every single moment count!

I'd love to give a big thank you to all my readers. I really appreciate all of you. Thank you for coming along on my blogging journey. :)

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 ...

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...

Welcome to The Crazy Little Love Birds Link Party #89! This party provides a platform for sharing inspiring content such as recipes, family-friendly blog posts, crafts, home decor, and other uplifting  ideas. Hello everyone! I hope all is well. 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...
