I couldn't ask for more.  If you are reading this, I hope that you're enjoying this autumn season. May you continue to be blessed and happy. 

This peaceful moment... I just finished watering my garden.  I picked a few of these beautiful flowers and placed them in a mason jar filled with water. They are currently sitting on my kitchen counter near the sink.  I like to admire them while I'm washing dishes. :) What has been your peaceful moment this week? ****** Each Thursday I will be posting a peaceful moment.  I would love to know what your peaceful moment has been during the week or a peaceful memory from the past. :) 

This peaceful moment... took place in April 2015. My oldest daughter and I took a few flowers from the garden and created  nature suncatchers. This was such a fun project.

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...

Baked cinnamon roll donuts were also on the menu. Craving - Blended fruit smoothies, mangoes, avocados, and spicy foods. Capturing -  I've been exploring and capturing moments with our camera. A display of flags filled the streets on Memorial Day.-It was a beautiful sight. Each flag gently waved in the breeze. I've also taken quite a few pictures of my growing belly. -It's changing and it's beautiful.  Preparing -  I've taken the time to gather a few baby supplies. Folding and setting items aside. Feeling - Pretty darn good!  I've been exercising, drinking tons of water, and ...
