Simple joyful moments.- Cherishing these moments.




“Your sacred time is now! Begin to live passionately.” ― Lailah Gifty Akita, Think Great: Be Great!

Every day there are moments that we all cherish. Those moments when you want to hit pause, and just be in that moment. May we all cherish those simple joyful moments in our lives.


My Simple joyful moments.


-Dancing with my children. - After a long week being able to take a few moments out each day to dance with our children. We absolutely cherish these moments. - We feel free and completely in the moment.

- Laughter. - There's something about the power of laughter. In our home, we laugh several times during the day. - It just feels so good! It helps just break up any tension, stress, or just those cranky moments we all have from time to time.

- Preparing dinner as a family. - We love to do this. We normally have some light music playing in the background and we'll head to the kitchen and prepare our meal. We laugh, talk, and share our thoughts for the day. 

-Reading. - We love books! Any time we get to sit and read to both girls is a time to bond, let go, and fully engage in a nice book.

- Outdoor adventures. -  We love being outdoors. We really enjoy family walks. It's a time we get to reflect on things, and bond as a family. 


- A simple hug. - It can really help in any situation. That moment you are hugged by your loved ones is a moment everything just feels so right.  When my girls wrap their tiny arms around me I feel at ease. 

 - A cup of coffee.- I cherish this moment. When my husband was in the Army he was constantly deploying. After being gone for an extended amount of time, he would arrive home and we would sit together and enjoy a cup of coffee every chance we got. - Eventually, our neighbors gave us the nickname, "The love birds". My husband said every time he was able to have a cup of coffee on his deployment it made him think of being home. - I cherish this simple joyful moment. 

 -Morning sunlight.- I absolutely love how the morning sunlight shines through my window. Barely peeking in.  I'm so thankful for a new day. - Hello morning sunlight.
What are some simple joyful moments in your life that you cherish?

    You know after last week was soooooo bad this week is so great in such a positive way. I've been really, really busy with my homeschool group. I mean so busy that I have only one day off this week between activities. It is great for my little man cause he is learning so much and having so much fun. I am really thankful for this group and glad that I get to spend time with him like this.

      Dina, I love this!
      You go mom! I'm so happy you are enjoying your homeschool group. -That really makes a difference. Sounds like your little man is enjoying it so much. - Aw, I agree this time we get to spend with our children really is wonderful.

      We have been enjoying our Botany unit study. Now that it is warmer, we will head outside and study plants a little more.
      You're doing awesome! So happy for you. :)

DIY Upcycled Peanut Jars

Transform your old peanut jars into stylish, functional containers with these creative and easy DIY upcycling ideas. Learn how to repurpose your peanut jars and give them a new life with practical and decorative uses.   Materials needed: Two  empty peanut containers Two sheets of crafting paper tape scissors Start  by removing the old label on your peanut containers  Next, you'll want to wrap your crafting paper around your container.  If you find that it does not completely cover the container, cut out a single strip to use later. I found it easier to wrap my containers with my craft paper and make the marks I needed before cutting them to size.  Tape your crafting paper into the container and then make necessary cuts to the paper using your scissors. Once this is done, take the last piece of crafting paper that you cut out earlier and place it over the spot that you were unable to cover. Take some clear tape and apply it to the contai...

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 ...
