I may have a little obsession with cute little cactus plants and candles.  If you're looking for cute little cactus plants, candles, and pretty candle holders check out the dollar aisle at your nearest Target store.  You may be lucky and find a few of these items. I recently took a trip and found these cute plastic cactus plants in clay pots, a wild berry magnolia candle, which by the way smells so nice, and this pretty pink candle holder or some may call it a lantern.  Aren't these adorable?!  I have them displayed on our kitchen windowsill.  They were actually $3 each.  Each plant comes in a different color clay pot. 1 Green pot 1 purple 1 tan I thought this was pretty and the pink is perfect for spring.  It was $3 and the magnolia candle I purchased fits perfectly inside it. Here is a list of stores that I love shopping at and finding cute decor and great deals. 1. T.J. Maxx. Oh ...

Take care of your health.

Saying goodbye is never easy.    So here I am.  I'm taking it day by day.  My emotions continue to run wild.  My heart still aches. There's this little voice telling me that it's okay to have all of these emotions. Emotions are good for all of us. I have my good days. But I also have my bad days. I  remind myself that, even if the tunnel is dark... there will be light at the end of that tunnel.  I took a much-needed break from blogging since the passing of my father. I needed time to be alone, to think, and have this time with my family. I appreciate those of you who have been so kind and supportive through this tough time.   We made our way to Texas on February 22, 2017. My brother and I planned the funeral to take place on Friday, February 24th.  On the day of the funeral, our father had his full honor ceremony with the Honor Guard. I had requested that the Patriot Guard Riders attend. I am so grateful ...

Lately, Things aren't quite back to normal around here, but with time we'll get there. I've taken a break from blogging since my emotions have been all over the place My Father recently passed away.  It's been a difficult time, but with prayer and faith, I've been able to pull through.  I'm still finding it hard and I do have my moments when I think about how I will never be able to just call my Father up. You know just those simple, day-to-day conversations.  I know that emotions are good and we all must let our emotions out.  My family and friends have been so supportive. I truly appreciate it.  Life is constantly changing. I never really prepared myself for something like this. Honestly, I don't think any of us do. Life happens so quickly and the people that we love can be taken in a blink of an eye. Let us all remember to enjoy this life.   A few ways to help you get through difficult times and simple life reminders. - Lov...
