Prime Time – Recent Amazon Purchases – April ’21

Happy Tuesday! I meant to be with you here yesterday, but some unexpected issues popped up and I couldn’t get to it! I will share my garden plans (what I wanted to post about yesterday) with you tomorrow. But today is Prime Time Tuesday and I’m sharing some of our recent Amazon orders!

So much randomness in these orders! Many of the items were for Andrew and one thing my Mom ordered is an absolute must for a beach vacation for traveling via airplane.

I missed you all last week! Unfortunately, I was the final person to fall to the stomach flu and did not leave the couch ALL DAY. Thankful we are back to feeling great especially during one of the best weeks! Our weather has been a taste of summer and all I know is I’m going to be bummed to head back into 50-60 degree temps.

April Coffee Stand Decor

There is something about swapping out the decorations on my coffee stand every month! It is fun to switch it up – and I find so much joy in enjoying what each month has to offer! As I’ve mentioned MANY times before, I have a bin that has accumulated all my coffee stand decor and most of the items have come from the Dollar Tree, Bullseye’s Playground or Walmart. Sharing my bright and colorful April coffee stand with you on this beautiful Tuesday morning!

Recent Favorites & Easter Weekend Rewind – 04.05.21

Well, last week was a crazy one! The entire family got the stomach bug and I of course got it last! I did not leave the couch Thursday and spent Friday getting back into the swing of things! What a crazy week, but so so happy we are all feeling better!

Since I missed posting my Friday Favorites, I figured I would share some favorite things around here recently and a recap of our Easter weekend! Hope you all had an amazing weekend and a blessed Easter Sunday! God is good!

2021 Toddler Easter Basket Ideas

My goodness, what a week it has already been! We returned home from vacation this past weekend and I had every intention of getting my blog posts together for the week, but the tummy bug has been making its’ way through our house! Finally able to sit down this afternoon as Audrey was the final kiddo to be hit with the bug. The great thing is, it is very quick and both the boys were back on their feet within 12 hours. Praying it will skip over Andrew and I, but not sure that will happen – this bug is wicked contagious!

We’ve been hearing of family members, friends and coworkers who’ve been dealing with it so we know it’s making its round. The first thing we did before getting home Saturday was stock up our sick essentials – reposting that here because I think a lot of us will be needing it.

Anyway, happy to pop on here today and share some toddler basket ideas with you! Vacation last week has thrown me off, so I’m playing catch up and getting our lives back in order around here!

This week had me CRAVING Spring! I’m so excited for this big change in season. Daylight Savings Time is just around the corner (gimme all the sunshine, please!), we find ourselves outside a little more, early bloomers are pushing through the soil – just so many amazing things! This week gave me a little taste of all those things!

Look For Less – Spring Home Decor 2021

Spring is ALMOST here and I could not be more excited about it! We spent most of the day outside yesterday even though it was nearly 50 degrees, but the sun was out and we were all about it!

I love the colors of spring decor. It’s so refreshing especially after the cold and colorless months of January and February! Spring is just such an exciting time around here – more daylight, sunshine, warmer weather and

I know I’ve mentioned this in other posts, but I like to decorate around my staple decor pieces – adding seasonal touches here and there. As my decoration inventory grows year after year, I’m sure it may be a different story, but for now, this is how I decorate our house.

Friday Five – 02.19.21

My goodness, what a week it has been. Praying for Texas and everyone affected. I could not imagine what people are going through. So instead of sharing Friday FAVORITES just sharing five things today.

I will start out by saying that the start of the Lenten season was this week and I’m looking forward to strengthening my faith and challenging myself to walk more like Christ – which can be hard to do. Lent is a time to take on those crosses and work to better ourselves for the ultimate goal in this life – eternal life.

Thursday Thoughts: Tension Headaches & “Text Neck”

First off, sending SO many prayers to people in the South and all over the country without power or heat. We too went without heat the past couple days and it just puts so many things in perspective. We are so blessed to have a roof over our head and warmth in our home. Saying many prayers for everyone affected or dealing with issues.

For my Thursday Thoughts, I would like to talk about something I have found myself dealing with and everyday “actions” are definitely worsening things!
