FEBRUARY ♡♡♡

 Welcome February and all the love it entells....

 We are enjoying 20 inches of snow...but the warmth of being inside with a pot of soup on makes it bearable.

 I love to celebrate holidays and do it on a budget. I purchased a bright pink poster board and my grandgirls and I cut out big hearts for the windows♡ lace doilies. .and a banner too!

I then went all around the house looking for pink..yellow..or red items.. I used these items to bring a touch of Valentines to a room

Banners on the fireplace..candles...whisps of flowers in yellow

 Then...desserts...easy too...Brownies filled with pink icing made of marshmellow fluff..coolwhip..and a few drops of fun red food coloring

 I also bring out small boxes found on clearance or thrift shoos

Whatever..i do i make it simple...make it fun..enjoy♡

A NEW DAY

I love the end of the year past and taking ....moments to remember....the good things and maybe lessons and strengths learned.

But life is about today....and walking toward tomorrow with Him..

HOLIDAYS....

HOLIDAYS COMING.....

I love the scurry of the holidays...the.the change of seasons and the cool wind that softly blows across my nose..it makes my soul happy

Its a time to think of Others....this doesnt have to be expensive..or a fancy gift..it seems if I ask God who needs encouragement from Him...He easily sends them my way...A box or simple brown bag of homemade cookies...a pretty hand sanitizer...sitting a bag of holiday baking supplies out in a corner of your church...lunch room at work or elsewhere and placing FREE on it will make someones day. A pay ahead Starbucks coffee or any $5 gift can buy a quick treat.

I love making my home festive and bringing aromas of the holiday in...But im also for making this time Simple. Soups on the stovetop...Crockpots of Stew or Roast..Italian Meatballs and a cheeseball and crackers...Shortbread cookies...Simple Pies fill the air..

FALLS IN THE AIR...A DAY MAKING MEMORIES

 I could hear the ducks flying overhead..I began to see the days getting shorter...the sun had moved oh so slightly did i miss it?  Fall was in the air!

As i grow older...i seem to STOP and take notice of His beauty..of simple things
A trip to the country....down the road...i pulled the window down to feel the cool wind against my face....a turn to a farmhouse...with the names of apples printed out on its red shed. Bags given, boxes to fill....my grandgirls jumping out on the van with sweatshirts and boots running through the talls grasses and beautiful trees filled with apples.

I pause..and an old barn now half torn down stands against the blue sky in a reddish brown tin with memories of families that have run these grounds before...off to home ..baskets full of fun. Apples fill the air with the aroma of a new season to come. Memories to be made..

Apple pies, apple crisp,  memories for a new generation.
