Family Room Refresh

I love pieces that make me HAPPY like my little squirrel from TJ Maxx and fun smoked black glasses from the Dollar Store. 

Flowers from Michaels tie in my new color scheme.

Make your home comfortable and inviting with a few changes you can be proud of!

Changing pillows and festive decor can update the room without breaking the bank! Yeah!

To all your travels ahead, big or small, ENJOY!!! Ciao

What’s My favorite thing in the kitchen?

It would have to be my Sous Vide!

 

Sous Vide cooking takes a lot of guesswork out of food preparation. Food is cooked evenly from edge to edge and can’t be overcooked, allowing for no stress timing on meals!

An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward. so when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that it's going to launch you into something great. so just focus, and keep aiming.

Welcome August!

It Doesn’t Matter What’s In Front Of Her…As Long As she Knows Who’s Behind Her

We don't always need to be inspired or motivated;
sometimes we just need to slow down, listen and reconnect.

Welcome July

Welcome July! Summer is here and so is the heat! I share with you easy recipes that won’t have you standing in your kitchen. Light, fast, and delicious cooking for all your summer festivities! 

Write It Down

 

I am a firm believer that it is important to WRITE down my tasks at hand and things I want to accomplish. Be clear in what you need to do stops your mind from racing and stressing.  It will allow you to set a plan in motion.

Welcome June!

I’m sure summer activities like picnics, holidays, and vacations come to mind for all of us!  Please follow along as I present food ideas, decorating, and great fashion to incorporate into your festivities! 

Solve the problem or leave the problem
Do not live with the problem!

Passion is what I found to be very important to set your vision! Having your heart skip a beat when you set a goal is one part in  KNOWING that your on the right path. Finding passion in something you love to do and moving towards it! Life is way too short to wait and even if it’s just part of your day ENJOY what makes you HAPPY!

Never worry about the numbers. Help one person at a time, and always start with the person nearest you.

Welcome April

Celebration came to me as I thought about my writing. Celebrating all at our table and all WE bring! I think sometimes the  two get out of balance and I know for me I need to work on that. So my vision is to stay in touch with this as I navigate through this time. You can feel the switch in the Universe lately and can feel the NEW changes and perspectives coming! Celebrating are wins and learning from our misses. We all have a special gift to bring to the table and should celebrate it! This world is a beautiful place when your eyes and heart see it from a place of celebration and gratitude! 

“Put your Lipstick On!” 

 
This has always been my personal mantra I need to move forward in one of my goals! In reflection, I try to embrace all that I’ve learned to feel the confidence to take the first step. I TRUST in my journey without questioning HOW the journey unfolds.

Welcome March!

 I always feel with the idea of Spring that this is a great month to reevaluate and renew! There seems to be a air of freshness allowing change to occur. Taking time for yourself as you vision what you would like to do is important. Self care and setting goals are vital as we transition and start moving out into this world!

We don't always need to be inspired or motivated;
sometimes we just need to slow down, listen and reconnect

Welcome February 

With an open heart let’s welcome February and take every chance we can to demonstrate love! From the simplest gesture of reaching out to an old friend, writing a handwritten “thinking of you” note, or cooking a special meal for family and friends.  Making people feel special for even a brief moment can truly make a difference and sometimes without you knowing the reason why.  So let’s not concentrate on one day, but everyday showing love the way you show love the best!
