Happy New Year to all! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. It's a new year and I'm wishing you all the best. May you all go on new adventures, make new friends, and continue to have many more blessings come your way.  I'm excited about this new year. This year I'd like to go on new adventures, be more in the moment, work on having more patience, and create a space that is full of beauty, and inspiration. I want to take more pictures of my kids as they grow with each passing day. I've realized that life passes us by so quickly and we must enjoy this current moment.  There is so much beauty around us and we must take the time to notice it, be still, and be in the moment. I'm leaving behind sad moments that truly left me feeling complete down, shaking off those negative vibes, and I'm filling my daily cup with positive, loving, caring vibes. -Honestly, we all should! So please feel free and come along with me on this journey.  What are your plans f...

It's amazing how fast time has flown by this year. The cold weather is settling in, and we must wrap up warmly as our children go out trick-or-treating tonight. Last week we attended a neighborhood trunk or treat, but my husband wasn't happy about the long queues, so we had to rush. Tonight, we're hoping to move quickly as our two trick-or-treaters make their rounds. I've had to keep the heat on all day due to the cold weather. What's the weather like where you are? We've finally almost completed the roof repair after the big hailstorm a few months ago, although it took longer than anticipated. My brother recently took the Ancestry DNA test, and we were surprised by the results. We have a wide range of ethnicities besides Asian, which is wonderful to discover. Thanksgiving is coming up, and I can't wait to share the wonderful experience of preparing the food with some wonderful helpers. This year, I'm particularly grateful for my wonderful family. We...

We just finished up with our summer reading. Trips to the library, cool prizes, and a lot of fun events. Daily Thunderstorms this week. -Some are good, and some have caused flooding and other major damages. About a month or so ago, we had a major hailstorm that caused damage around town and to our home.  My flowers have daily visitors. Between the bees and hummingbirds, my garden has been getting much-needed love. I'm finding so much enjoyment in moving my body daily. It's been a while since I started my workout routine, and it just feels so nice to move daily. It has definitely become a habit. I'm looking forward to Autumn. Warm drinks, falling leaves, and comfy light sweaters.- I truly love fall weather. My husband has been roasting our coffee beans, and I really look forward to a cup of coffee in the mornings.
