Hello 2019!

2019

Welcome, 2019! Glad you have arrived and I look forward to all the unfolding and unwrapping that will happen in the next 365 days. There will be surprises of this I am certain. Some will bring joy and some may not, but the Lord knows how all of it will fall into place. My hope is that I will walk in grace and with grace in the upcoming days, weeks, and months. As I've been thinking about plans and/or goals for the New Year, I decided to take a step back and reflect on where I've been and ... Continue Reading...

Bye, Bye 2018

2018(1)

Well, here it is, friends! The end of 2018 has arrived. When January rolled around about 364 days ago I envisioned a much different post than this one. I had lots of big plans for my blog {and I do again} and my life. I had read The Happiness Project and was feeling inspired and focused for a New Year. And then...it all seemed so complicated and overdone. I couldn't keep focused on what I was trying to accomplish because I was focused on being accountable. True to me, I sorta gave up and ...

It’s the Holiday Season!

And it's here! The holidays, which are the best time of the year for sure have arrived at a little home in Texas. The transition from Thanksgiving to Christmas arrived in full force this weekend with the Mr. taking on much of the decorating. Let me say I'm super grateful for him because as I've said before, I'm a little clueless in the decorating area. Thanksgiving decor went bye until next year... Our dilemna was trying to find the perfect tree for our new home. We have a small tree but ... Continue Reading...

I'm a deep thinker and I contemplate and ruminate often to my own detriment. I get tripped up on making decisions and question the ones I do make. Within that mindset, comes my struggle to remember to be grateful. Don't get me wrong, I am grateful and I'm also blessed, but I tend to forget to express ... Continue Reading...

I have some fun news to share today! It's about makeup, which I'm sure is one of a girl's best friends, right?! Any woman who has a ballooning makeup collection definitely needs someplace fabulous to store it. Well, I have the perfect place to share with you. Joligrace makeup bags and cases have the most fabulous collections. Recently, I was given the opportunity to try one and as I perused their website, I decided a larger bag would perfect. Why? Well, I don't have the largest makeup ... Continue Reading...

Manic Monday

Hello there! Happy Monday especially if you're on Spring Break. I wish I was on Spring Break but alas I'll be work today. What about you? Spring Break? Work? Something else? Basically, last week took me by storm. On Monday we adopted a little rescue puppy. It's been a while since we've had a dog. A puppy hasn't been in the picture for even longer. Who knew or remembered that they are like having a little toddler? Yep, it's been that long and I had no clue. Thanks to my hubby things are going ... Continue Reading...
