Let’s Chat Food & Happiness

I thought I’d take a break from deep thoughts today and talk about yummy food and things that are making me feel really happy right now and to remind you that you are doing an amazing job at life right now! I would love for you to share in the comments things that are making you happy right now! I’ll share what you share in my next post! Happy things…..

Unchartered Waters

Coronavirus, COVID-19 That’s where we all are now, in uncharteded waters. Age 2. Age 102. We are all a part of this. It has had an affect on all of our lives in one way or another. Days ago wondering “What should I cancel?” “Is it okay to go?” “How do we do this?” What. Is. Happening? Each day has brought more cancelations, more closures, more restrictions, more information. I seem to just take it in and say “okay” with very little emotion. Many of the things that we are trying to make decisions on have been made for us. Our daughter Tess was to be a bridesmaid in her best friends wedding this past Saturday in Florida. Cancelled. She and her husband both work at Southwest Airlines and her particular job is incredibly stressful right now. They are now working from home. Our son Jake and his wife Jordan […]

Tea Time

I absolutely love a warm drink. Coffee. Tea. Heck, I’ll drink warm lemon water. I like the routine of it. I like holding a warm mug. I like the smell. I really like it when the hubs brings me that first cup of coffee in the morning while I’m still in bed. I like the feeling I get just thinking about that first cup of coffee each morning and my cup of hot tea in the evening before bed. I think I get almost as much satisfaction from thinking about my warm mugs of yumminess as I do drinking them. Someone tell me they get me. I recently received an email asking if I would like to try a cacao loose leaf tea. I was intrigued and accepted. I am absolutely loving this Cacao Tea. Thank you Jessica for sending me this! It has a very mild chocolate flavor without […]

Creating Spaces

You’re likely tired of my word for 2020, “Create”. Or maybe you’re not? This word seems to be swirling around in my head in most things I do lately. It might in fact be my new favorite word. I’ve recently been focused on creating spaces. While I am truly enjoying my new work space in my basement office (why didn’t I do that long ago?), I’m now working on spaces for playing and relaxing. I’m creating spaces that spark joy. Shout out to Marie Condo! Okay, that made me giggle a little bit. I’m working on a few things in Effie, my travel trailer, and I’m super excited to share those soon! I’ve asked my mom to make me some new curtains (I should learn how to sew. She also made my first set but now I’ve changed my mind on the vibe I want.) for Effie and I’m headed […]
