Friday Favorites (01.29.26)

Another Friday come and gone! I can’t even believe this is the last Friday in January! For some reason, I felt like the beginning of the month was flying by, but this past week or so was dragging! Could be the fact the kids were in school once this week – and for Audrey, she hasn’t been because she was home sick yesterday.

I’m most likely getting a message from school whether we are going in or having a virtual school day by the time I post this link up. It’s been FREEZING cold here. Twenty degrees is going to feel like a heat wave compared to what we’ve been experiencing.

Of course, I’m linking up with some of my favorite bloggers to share them!

What’s Up Wednesday [01.28.26]

It’s the last Wednesday of the month, and that means- MY FAVORITE POST! I’m linking up with some of my favorite bloggers Mix & Match Mama and Sheaffer Told Me To to share what has been happening around here!

It’s been an insane winter so far. The kiddos are really enjoying the lack of school recently and I feel the same. It really has been nice to be cozied up together. I think we ended up getting about 18″-20″ of snow.

Setting Intentions for the New Year as a SAHM

It’s a New Year, and what follows is a newly refreshed outlook on how we can improve ourselves and our home life throughout the year. Over the past year, I’ve personally had the chance to reflect on our family and home life. Sitting down in the silence and writing down all the areas in which I can improve as a SAHM and a flower farming business owner has been very enlightening.

It’s the last Wednesday of the month, and that means- MY FAVORITE POST! I’m linking up with some of my favorite bloggers Mix & Match Mama and Sheaffer Told Me To to share what has been happening around here!

What an absolute roller coaster ride it has been this spring and summer. Spring and the end of the school year is always packed with all the events. Summer rolled in, and just like that it’s been BUSY!

Let’s jump into it as there is a lot to catch up on…

It’s the last Wednesday of the month, and that means- MY FAVORITE POST! I’m linking up with some of my favorite bloggers Mix & Match Mama and Sheaffer Told Me To to share what has been happening around here!

My gosh – I feel like I’ve been saying this like crazy recently, but Spring is OFFICIALLY the busiest time of the year. I used to feel like Fall took the cake in this department, but Spring crushes me every single year. Even when I try my best to not do all the things so we can have down time, the activities find a way to all intersect in the worst way in the spring – not to mention the start of flower farming season that comes on FAST!

Like always, here’s a summary of what’s been happening around here!

We are SO ready for spring! We had a taste of some gorgeous weather this week (now there is snow back on the ground…yea this is spring in Cleveland.) it felt amazing to get outside and open up all the windows to let the fresh air in! I’m weirdly excited about daylight savings this weekend. I know some people hate it, but I love the fact we will start seeing a lot longer days filled with sunshine and light!

Of course, I’m linking up with some of my favorite bloggers to share them!

A Season of Sacrifice

It’s Ash Wednesday and every year on this day, I find myself diving deeper and deeper into the Lenten season ahead. I’m not sure if it’s age or the more you learn spiritually every passing year, but you realize how precious life is and how temporary our life here on Earth is. As a Catholic, Lent is a time to grow in faith and grow closer to God. We prepare and reflect on the great sacrifice Jesus made for us. We repent, turn away from sin and seek to change our own life to become more Christ-centered.

I’ve shared this many times before, but we have the Hallow app and use it religiously (no pun intended). I LOVE the daily reflections – which serve as mini “homilies” on the daily Gospel reading. The other day, Jeff Cavins (the individual who writes the daily reflections) talked about a Latin phrase – “Momento Mori” translated “remember you must die“. That phrase has really stuck with me the past couple days – today particularly. While morbid, it is a reminder of our Earthly lives fleeting nature. It is also an important reminder to think about our purpose here and help focus on our hope and desire for eternal life. How can we get to Heaven?

Happy Friday and happy last Friday of FEBRUARY! I cannot believe how fast the month flew by and am just so tickled March is here. We are one step closer to spring – I can smell it in the air and hear all the beautiful bird songs all around us! I told the kids on the way to school today – we are almost out of it. Out of winter and back to days of sunshine and outdoor play – we are so ready!

It’s the last Wednesday of the month, and that means- MY FAVORITE POST! I’m linking up with some of my favorite bloggers Mix & Match Mama and Sheaffer Told Me To to share what has been happening around here!

I was having some storage/hosting issues on my website, and would appreciate any advice on this topic! What platform do you love if you blog and does it give you enough storage (i.e. cloud, etc). Site hosting is getting expensive, so I want to make sure I’m making the right decision so I can continue blogging!

Dealing with Website hosting issues…

Hi! I haven’t been able to post as I’ve been having issues with my host and storage. I would LOVE to hear if there is a website or hosting service you fellow bloggers are using and LOVE?! I need more storage and am looking into platforms with more storage capacity at a REASONABLE price!

Will resume with regularly scheduled content as soon as it is fixed…..

Talk soon!
