Oh Boy! Happy New Year’s ~ Here comes 2022!

January 1, 2022

I am just sitting here wondering what goals that I am going to set for the New Year. With the world still a little shut down because of the global pandemic, it’s hard to come up with a different list from years of past such as working on mental and physical health, finances, reading more and not losing my grace with people.

So, here is my list of resolutions for 2022. I am going to shake things up a bit. Wanna join me?

  1. Give one compliment a day to yourself and a random stranger.
  2. Go a whole day without checking your social media or emails.
  3. Clean out your car.
  4. Volunteer for an organization closest to your heart.
  5. Send handwritten letters to someone random.
  6. Wear sunscreen.
  7. Talk less, listen more.

So, cheers to the New Year and a new work in progress. Life is ever evolving but in order to change, you have to embrace the growth journey.

Let me know what to do’s you have in store for 2022. I would love to hear from you.

Happy Halloween!

October 31, 2021

I can’t believe Halloween is already here. I always dress up as sweet Disney characters but I wanted to do something a little different this year.

Well, I don’t know if you saw that Disney put out a newer version of Cruella. I was so inspired that I seriously began scrolling internet and Pinterest to find anything and everything about this new movie. So many questions!!!

What was the newest costume designs? Was there going to be any dog themes like the older verison? and… Who is playing Cruella?

I screamed when I found it was Emma Stone. She’s perfect. I was so tickled that I knew I wanted do it this year.

Make-up Time

I am not much of a make-up person. I am a simply concealer, mascara and bronzer type of girl. So, baking is so out of the question but off I go to Youtube again.

I purchased this makeup at CVS. I already had light concealer and used that as my foundation. Then I applied the HD finishing powder, red lip, apply the lashes and boom, good to go. The best part was that I found that girls choker at a Halloween store to complete the outfit.

Walter’s Bath Time

October 21, 2021
Walter's Bath Time

My sweet Budgie, Walter loves his bath time. I don’t really trust him in my bathroom. Plus, I have dogs in my house and have to keep him safe from one of them, Piper Marie.

After googling how to make a fun, simple bath for a Budgie, I was so excited that I saw this Catit 2.0 Flower Fountain and converted it into a nice little spa for him. With a little help from the local hardware store, I got everything that I needed.

It was easy to convert this simply Catit 2.0 Flower Fountain
into something that a small feathered friend can enjoy!

What do you need?

  1. Catit 2.0 Flower Fountain
  2. 1 inch diameter clear irrigation tube around 3 inches in length
  3. 1/2 inch diameter clear or dark irrigation tube around 3 inches in length

Where did I purchase the Catit 2.0 Flower Fountain?

Happy Birthday to Me!

September 4, 2021

Yes, this is what 52 years of age looks like and I have embraced it!

Love the skin your in!

Things have changed for me, inside and out. Do you know why? Well, it is because we as individuals are ever evolving, growing up and growing old. That’s ok.

Trust me, I’ve been on quite a ride and didn’t like those hills and valleys. I am grateful for the journey that I have been on. I am still learning to step outside my comfort zone.

Do me a favor?

Love yourself, be kind to yourself and to others. Have a blessed day!

Campaigning for a little girl!

August 4, 2021

I saw a sweet little senior chihuhua girl named Pip on Petfinder. As soon as I read her bio, I was on a mission to bring her to my home.

Let the campaign begin!

Even Lance was in on the marketing video.

The wait is killing me!

Yes, I submitted application but wait… there’s more! I had to answer several questions and then silence. Well, the rescue is run by volunteers who truly care about their animals and want the best home for their girl. Still, smoked. Apparently, they do not know who I am. JK.

Reference check and answer some more questions!

Well, the reference check panned out. My best friend ever did alert me that they were getting close. I received a text and then an email. I answered all the questions from the heart and then silence!

Yeah, I know! It was killing me too.

Woohoo, the phone call that we have been all been waiting for in our household. We can do a meet and greet. What? “You have to bring your current dog for a meet and greet.” OMG! It makes sense but my mind whirls. See, Lance doesn’t like car rides and this one is over 2 hours away. Plus, my mind whirls into to what ifs. For example, Lane is going to die from a heart attack from the travel alone and possibly from picking up a new dog. Wonder if he doesn’t like her? What if I lose him while visit a new area because he’s freaking out? Yes, this is my brain. I love it and I hate it.

We made it to the Connecticut pick up location.

We made it! Yeah! Nothing that was whirling into my head came true. Best part, both of them were just fine with each other. To be honest, it was way better than expected.

See below.. Let the love fest begin.

One last thing… We changed her name. Welcome Home, Piper Marie!

Opinions.. We all have one but do I?

April 4, 2021

Oh Boy…

Nowadays, the topics of discussion are either politics, employment, Covid 19, the shots or vaccines, economy, and more. The several news outlets are constantly reminding us of what most people are passionate about or trying to avoid talking about.

See, I do have opinions. Mostly likely, I will keep them to myself. I will tell you a few things.

I believe…

  1. Stepping up and protecting those that are hurting,
  2. Feeding the hungry,
  3. Being kind,
  4. Being compassionate,
  5. If you can say something nice, don’t say anything at all.,
  6. And most importantly, If someone tells you something in confidence, don’t repeat it. It Ain’t your Story to tell!

What's the Best Part of February?

I love this month because my son was born in February. It’s hard to believe that he turned 30 this year. Plus, its the love month ta boot! Valentine’s day is the way to spread the love. Cards, Flowers, chocolate are definitely the go to items but just seeing him and hanging out is the best present I could ask for when celebrating this little holiday.

What special things do you do for your loved ones for Valentine’s Day! Let me know in the comments below!

2020 – What a year, huh?

December 31, 2020

What a year, huh?

Not in my wildest dreams did I think that 2020 would be this eye opening year. Trust me, I had tons of goals to accomplish. I giggled at all the 20/20 vision quotes and memes floating around. Then “it” all started.

From earthquakes and fires to political storms to horrific losses of life during a pandemic, there were signs of courage, hope and kindness. First responders were giving it their all to saving lives without a day off and not seeing their families for months. Restaurants were pivoting to keep themselves and employees afloat all while accumulating more debt to the meet city and state health requirements. Individuals creating new business or non-profits to help other business stay open like ordering food to feed the first responders and other essential workers.

Thank you to all those “helpers” of all ages that rose to the occasion to provide comfort, care and kindness. I wish you nothing but love, light and healing for all your losses, but wish you much health and prosperity in the 2021 year.

“When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, “Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.”” ~ Fred Rogers
