Happy Friday everyone! Another week down – how are we in the middle of January already?!
I think we are gearing up for a LOOOONNNNGGG weekend and hope I haven’t been hyping the kids up too much… we are expecting some cold temps Tuesday and Wednesday next week – and with MLK day on Monday, I’m thinking a 5 day weekend…
Of course, I’m linking up with some of my favorite bloggers to share them!
Good morning and Happy Thursday! My gosh, it’s been FREEZING cold here and very snowy (consistently), which hasn’t happened the past couple winters. The past couple winters have been very mild and had a lot less days of snow on the ground. I am really enjoying it though.
Today, I’m giving winter all the love in this post. Why I’ve come to love it and appreciate it more. Now, I’m not gonna lie, I start to get really annoyed by the end of February, but for now, let’s embrace the beauty winter has to offer!
So let’s jump into some winter love…

Happy Tuesday! It is BITTER cold here in northeast Ohio and the kids are going to be bummed to hear, there is school today! I think a “cold day” is on the horizon, but I can’t guarantee anything and probably shouldn’t get the kids hopes up!
Today, I’m bringing back Prime Time Tuesday where we take a look at some of our Amazon purchases this month.

Happy Monday, everyone! This past weekend FLEW – not only did I feel it, but the kids felt it this morning! I hope you all had a great weekend and are ready to tackle the week ahead!
Today, I wanted to share a recent “project?” I guess I would call it. As I mentioned, my goals for this year are to streamline and simplify. In our house, I made a list of the areas that are CONSTANTLY causing me problems. Want to know what one of the main problem points is?
Continue readingWe made it to Friday and hustled back into a routine after two weeks of rest, relaxation and pure sloth behavior. I have to say – I’ve loved it – it was much needed and a favorite FOR SURE! Sharing some favorites from the week below!
Of course, I’m linking up with some of my favorite bloggers to share them!
I hope everyone is having a great week so far – I personally can’t believe it’s Thursday! Almost the weekend – whoooa hooo!
Okay, so I’m catching everyone up with our 2024 as I abruptly stopped blogging in the spring last year. Today, I’m sharing part 2 of my year in review recap! You can check out part 1 if you missed it here.

Happy Wednesday, everyone! We are making it through the week and it is honestly going way easier than I expected. The kids have adjusted really well, but this morning will be the true test as Tommy has his first day back to school. He has truly loved sleeping in.
Today, I figured I would recap our 2024 as I legitimately left the blogging scene back in the spring. While it was nice not worrying about blogging, I did miss it a lot! Spring tulip season rocked me to my core and I’m sure that’s when blogging stopped! So let’s pick up where we left off and share some updates from March-July!

It’s the last Wednesday of the month, and that means 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! These are my favorite posts – I LOVE seeing what others have going on and love that I can look back at these someday!
March, where’d you go?! Oh my gosh, we are alive and well and thoroughly enjoying our days! March flew in and BLEW out! I miss blogging, but just don’t get to it like I used to. My busiest times are March, April & May. It’s planting season, seed starting, tulips, Girl Scout Cookie Manager, plant sale publicity for my local garden club, ad posting for said sale and subscriptions, Mother’s Day, end or school, etc….all the things start happening soon. I wish I could be better at blogging (one of my goals), but I just keep swinging and missing. In the past couple months, I’ve shifted my mindset on being present for family, the household and my “jobs”. Those things take precedent!
While I miss blogging and hope to do better down the line and put less stress on perfectionism, let’s jump back in by sharing my most favorite updates of the month!
Continue readingHey, hey, hey and Happy Friday! This week, I decided to share some winter “updates”. Last week I shared a February Garden Update and a post about my recent appreciation for winter.
With the extra day in February yesterday, I thought it would be fun to incorporate some of my favorite winter things!
If you’re from the North, you know January and February (sometimes March) can drag in terms of winter. It’s the time when everyone starts to complain and wish for warmer weather. While I cannot even wait for Spring (18 days) and for the sun to set after 7 pm (9), I wanted to share my appreciation for winter before it’s over and we move on!
Of course, I’m linking up with some of my favorite bloggers to share some Friday Favorites with you all!

As always here’s a recap of what’s been happening around here lately!

Good morning and Happy Thursday – how is it Thursday already?! Well, we were hit with the tummy bug again – Audrey and I actually had it at the same time (which was interesting and a first for us here), but we’ve made it through and feel a lot better. I am waiting for the boys to come down with it because it is just so contagious, once it hits your house, you know it hits EVERYONE!
Anyway, today I thought it would be nice to share a post about “winter love”. It has taken me until recent years to really appreciate this season in life and I think there are some things I want to carry over from this season into the next ones.
Continue readingHey, hey, hey and Happy Friday! The weather this week was JUST GLORIOUS! The sunshine does wonders for the mind and body! We enjoyed a lot of outside time this week, which made me so happy!
Of course, I’m linking up with some of my favorite bloggers to share some Friday Favorites with you all!
Good morning and happy Friday! Instead of a typical Friday Favorite post today (since we just did a whole life update for What’s Up Wednesday – you can check that out here!), I figured I would share a family favorite around here. I will share a couple Friday fav photos from the week after I share this breaded chicken with you, so be sure to scroll to the end!
When I say, this chicken recipe is the easiest and most versatile recipe, I mean it! Dinner done in 15 minutes or less…you’re going to want to save this one!

Good morning and what day is it anymore?! Wednesday? My gosh, the kids have been off of school so much, that I can’t even keep track.
My calendar yesterday said, take day in the life blog photos…well it turned out to be an ice day, so that’s what this day in the life is all about!

Good morning and Happy Tuesday! The kids are off of school yet again! We’ve had a whole string of snow and ice days, but I feel this will be the last of them for a while!
Today, I’m recapping our weekend! It was a “long weekend” as the kids were off Friday for a snow day!

Happy Friday everyone! The kids have ANOTHER snow day, so we are bunkering down and enjoying another day at home together! We went out to dinner last night in celebration of the snow day, so I’m behind this morning on the blogging front – and that’s OKAY! That’s the perfect segway into my goals in 2024 for my two favorite hobbies, flowers and blogging!
Last year, my flower business got even more real. Not that it wasn’t real before, but I had orders to fulfill, a group of people to get flowers delivered too, a farm that shared my flowers with the local community in their market daily, a group of growers that provide local florists with fresh blooms including mine AND a community event that ended up using my flowers as centerpieces and decorations in their “Italian Market” theme.
It was a crazy fun year and I continue to learn so much! All that craziness, though, led me to “drop the ball” on my other hobby – BLOGGING here!

Happy Thursday everyone! Continuing where we left off from Tuesday, today I’m sharing my goals for homemaking in 2024. After nearly 6 years of being a stay at home mom, I feel like I’m finally finding my groove. Could it be that the kids are a little older and it’s a little easier to get certain things done during the day, YES, but I’ve also figured out a routine that really works for me.

Good morning and Happy Tuesday! I hope you had a great weekend with your family! This week I plan on sharing some goals I have for myself and our family for 2024. Each day I’ll highlight a different goal in an area of my life/home and provide details behind it.
I’ve learned so much about myself since last year. I’ve also learned that time is precious and I want my energy to be put into things that value time and those I love. Will other goals and “aspirations” I have for myself suffer – definitely, but I know I’m way better off and in a better place when I know where my priorities are.
