The Best of Both Worlds
In this post here I shared the ambitious idea of leaving my Bougainvillea inside through the summer. It had done well being in over the winter and I was curious if it would thrive indoors during it’s blooming season. Well, that was my crazy unleashed, because do you know how big a Bougainvillea can get?…

Advice from a Dog
I saw this quote and kept it to share. Plants teach me about life, but these two dogs living with me are also good teachers. Similar to plants, a lot of times I think I’m doing all the giving when in reality they give so much more than they receive, but I’ll continue to watch…

Think Like a Plant
Recently, I saw a post in favor of Hill Country Water Gardens, giving them a rating of 10 out of 10. The reviewer highlighted how calm and peaceful it is to simply walk through, even though she usually leaves with something. I can relate. It’s not a place to swing by when you’re pressed for…

Uncross Our Legs
I was taught at a very young age to cross my legs when seated and this became an automatic action throughout my life. Working from home, whenever I sit down my right leg would instinctively cross over my left and stay there. A couple of weeks ago, I noticed one morning while getting out of…

My friend SC Lourie shared this on her social media and I found it so interesting. 🧡

A Safe Haven
I’ve never spent any time in my backyard. All of the planning and planting is usually poured into the front, but this year that changed. One reason was the back porch/deck was falling apart and wasn’t safe to stand on, much less use, so I began talking with my landlord about it and sent him…

Introducing My Son
On Saturday, I met my son and his fiancé for lunch. Some of you don’t even know I have a son, but yes, I had a baby in 1987, when I was 23, and was on track to what I was taught. Find a man. ✔️ Get married and buy a house. ✔️ Start a…

Cathedral of Calm
I opened the front door and stood in the doorway, breathing in the remnants of our early morning rain. The thunder didn’t awaken me at 5am…it was Denver standing at the front of the house, whimpering that pulled me from my slumber. A mother’s radar is always on, even with four-legged children. Slipping my feet…

The Sober Me
The chair was hard, thick plastic with metal legs and reminded me of the chairs from Sunday School, but it felt sturdier than me. My waist was expanding from my newfound pregnancy making clothes from a few months ago uncomfortable, so my clothing was loose. The room was filled with smoke and mainly men, but…

Alador
This town is hosting their annual Easter Egg Hunt today and I thought about walking to the park to observe the festivities, but that thought didn’t last long. My nervous system can barely handle three screaming children, much less hundreds. I have grown accustomed to the 3 children next door, all under the age of…

Ryze with Ease
At the end of February, I mentioned ordering Ryze Mushroom coffee and want to share my experience with it, so here we are. My goal was to have a healthier way to start my day and more gentle toward my body. My third shipment has processed and I just realized I haven’t purchased any coffee…

Make Me Tired
It’s still morning, but I spent most of my time with work, which is unusual for me, but the idea of getting it done and having the rest of my day open sounds phenomenal. It’s a cloudy, drizzly day, so stretched across the bed reading is on the agenda. I’m curious to know if you’ve…

33 Minutes
Last Spring I cleared out all of the shoes from the shelves in my wardrobe and if they hadn’t been worn in a year, they were donated. I was deep in a decluttering phase, but when keeping our utmost favorite things, that includes shoes, too. This cleared up a lot of space, so I’m doing…
