Simple  days are here. I enjoy the morning sunlight. The taste of grapefruit-these days I'm finding it delicious. Caring for my indoor plants has been enjoyable. Hanging laundry out when the sun is out and enjoying the cool breeze coming through an open window. Our daughter playing peacefully. My husband reading a good book. -I'm sure these are simple days and I'm enjoying them very much. Preparing my garden, watering our lawn, and birds chirping.-Spring is here and I've waited long enough. The nights are still chilly, but it's okay. -With warmer days ahead I'm one happy camper! Simple  days.-Iced lemonade, fresh watermelon blended, and food on the grill. -I'm happy and I hope the same goes for you. I wear my lulla belly belt so our little one can listen to music. I put my feet up, relax and sometimes even fall asleep while playing music for this baby in my tummy. It may not hear just yet, but we're always hap...

A daughter is a day brightener and a heart warmer.  ~Author Unknown This weekend led up to our daughter's 3rd birthday. We spent our time finishing up plans and discussing how we would spend her special day. On Sunday we opened presents early. I spent time in the kitchen baking her birthday cake. - Strawberry cake with strawberry whipped topping. - It was a hit! We presented her cake a day early since our plan was to take her to the Denver aquarium on Monday. We sang happy birthday and she blew out her candles. It was simple and sweet. I may have cried a little. Just the thought of knowing my little girl is growing, it saddens me a little. I've been embracing each day, each moment I spend with her. She blew out her candles and we shouted hooray! I'll hold on to these moments for as long as I live. April 7, 2014,  -Happy birthday sweet baby girl! (Of course, she will always be my baby). Our families called, wished our daughter a happy birthday and we...

“I glanced out the window at the signs of spring. The sky was almost blue, the trees were almost budding, the sun was almost bright.”  ―  Millard Kaufman ,  Bowl of Cherries ( sweet strawberry banana ice cream recipe at bottom of post) So far April has brought us some sunshine and snow. The snow didn't stick around for too long. This afternoon it all melted away. We're thankful that it did. -I'm so ready for actual spring weather. I just want to dip my toes in some cold water and sit out enjoying the breezy afternoon weather. We absolutely love sitting out back on our porch. We enjoy grilling, reading, bubble blowing and just relaxing out there. -It's all just so lovely.  Today I enjoyed my time indoors with my daughter. We played with legos, snacked on peanuts, ate sweet watermelon, and watched one of her favorite books on DVD. -A Snowy Day. It was perfect for the kind of weather we were experiencing. She hasn't stopped reminding me a...

Lately- We started on a few plants indoors. Our daughter enjoys watering and caring for them. Lately- I've purchased fresh flowers.  I love how flowers freshen up a room. Lately- I've been taking more time to care for my skin. I Apply moisturizer during the day and at night.  Lately- I've tried out a few beauty tips. Taking a lemon and applying sugar to the surface.  I  gently rub it against my lips. It's wonderful and your lips will thank you. :) I've also been applying slices of fresh cucumbers over my eyes when I'm resting.- It's so refreshing. Lately- Our daughter has been enjoying her time dancing, singing and just being free. Twirling in her tutu while wearing snow boots.- She's my little sunshine. Lately- I went shopping and picked up a few new items. Earrings, nail polish, a sheer breezy top and a new bracelet.  I've also enjoyed taking time out and soaking my feet. I've been using Tea Tree Oil gen...

Happy, thankful....just living. A little bit of everything . Currently: -Looking through cookbooks. I've been eyeing our Ice cream & sorbet recipe book. -Relieved that most of my morning sickness has gone away. -Planning on planting seeds and filling empty pots with a few Spring flowers. -Attending events at our local library with the little one. -Opening windows on warmer days. -Experimenting with natural cleaners. -Enjoy hugs and kisses from our daughter. -Enjoying the time spent with my family. Each morning we wake to a beautiful new day. I've been feeling a bit sluggish, but I'm happy to say my growing baby bump has started to develop. Luckily, I can still see my toes. It's Spring and yes the past few days it has snowed. I was content and spent those cold days indoors. I'm just happy that this week seems to have plenty of sunshine and warmer temps. I'll celebrate by sitting out and soaking up some sun.-Maybe I'll even...

We spent some time playing market.-Fresh produce, milk, scoops of ice cream, pastries, flowers, and pottery. By the time our daughter is done with her shopping, she could probably use two carts instead of one. I enjoy the time that we play together. We're feeling better. This cold seems like a stubborn one. -I'm thankful that I am finally able to fall asleep without tossing and turning most of the night. I've been using our humidifier at night. - It has helped me with my breathing. Last weekend we couldn't resist the warm weather. We headed out to the park and surprisingly it was empty. We played for a little and headed home. I'm finally able to eat without the urge of vomiting, I'm so relieved. I've been enjoying tea (decaf) with milk. - Lately, I've enjoyed fruit and morning smoothies. I snack on carrots and I enjoy a nice turkey sandwich loaded with lettuce and tomatoes. I'm now in my 14th week of pregnancy. -Our daug...
