Hello, MONDAY!
I am wiped out! We had a weekend of baseball out of town. Watched three games in windy AF weather and my eyes are burning. I didn’t get a chance to do meal prep this weekend and hoping to do some soon. I hate being out of my routine, but you know what? I’m glad when I can pick it back up when I’m ready.
Anywho- here are my Intentions for the Week:
Here’s what this past week looked like- My Everyday Life Week 17
I cleaned the outside of my fridge & reorganized what’s on it this week. I found a pic of my Mom in front of this spot in the kitchen and put it on the fridge. It’s a real trip through time!
Car wash!
Flowershopping.
Bun bun.
For those of us celebrating Mother’s Day without a Mom, I made a MOM YOURSELF pep talk pack from my Things Mom Used to Say book.

Mother’s Day is coming up and it can be very triggering & grief-inducing if you don’t have a Mom anymore. I know it is for me! When I’m feeling down, I always try to remember that Action is the antidote to despair! Let’s add some light into the darkness. Here are some light-making things that can Bring Light into Your Life.
I gifted one of these to my Mom and she enjoyed it thoroughly! She had hers in her kitchen and it would activate in the afternoon while she was making dinner. You’ll quickly know what time magical light hour is in your home when you have one of these up against a window. The sun will turn your space into a disco!
I have this little book on my coffee table. There are 111 different ways to add light to your life. Sometimes I will think of a random number and see what I’m supposed to see! It’s pretty magical.
We have some of these cute globe string lights outside on our patio and they bring such magic to a space. It makes are evening BBQ living so much better!
Speaking of disco…I believe every home should have a disco ball in it. I have one in my dining room and one in my kitchen. It adds cute little polka dot beams of light when the light hits it. It has the power to light up ANY room.
Handlettered print by yours truly! A great reminder to put in your favorite place.
I bet you’d like looking down and seeing sparkles when you’re wearing these.
Guess who is getting tons of compliments on their shoes?? You! Look at you sparkle!
Isn’t this thing magical? It’s definitely on my wishlist!
I put these streamers outside in my garden at least 5 years ago and they’re holding up to this day. They’ve been through all kinds of weather! Watching them move in the wind is so exciting. They’ve worked well in my garden as a bird/animal deterrent but I mostly just like watching them sparkle.
These are the equivalent of wearing red lipstick but on your ears! They’ll catch the light and make you glow!
I hope this inspires you to Bring Light Into Your Life!
Magic happens!
Hello, MONDAY!
Back from our trip! I forgot how much a trip can make you appreciate home. Did some deep cleaning and planted a few things this weekend. Also binged on the new season of Russian Doll. It was good! It’s late and I am writing this from bed. Looking forward to sleep but going to write down my Intentions for the Week because I’ve done it for the past 5 years!! I just looked that up- I started doing this Monday check-in in April 2017! Here’s the first one.
Anywho- here are my Intentions for the Week:
