Currently April 2022
April flew by didn’t it? Real talk: I spent a lot of April in a bit of a funk. My Dad dropped off two bins of unsorted family photos and I opened up pandora’s box. Hello, grief wave! I went through so many of my Mom’s childhood photos I had never seen before. It was a real trip to look at old family photos and see what my house looked like when I was a kid. I wish she was around to go through them with me. I would have loved to have helped her with this if she let me. It was too overwhelming for her. The project took up my dining room table (see below) and I plugged away at it at night. I got to a good stopping point and packed it back up to revisit at a later date. I wanted my dining room table back so I could package up my new merch in my shop.
One really exciting thing that happened in April is that I got started on my spring/summer garden.
In my 3.96+ I illustrated what’s currently in both of my raised beds. I wasn’t intending to grow tomatoes this year but I found a few random tomato plants growing in my yard and so I transported them there.
All the Good Things that Happened this month.
Let’s break it down!
Intentions for the Week
Intentions for the Week- Week 18 in 2022
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:

Bring Light into Your Life!
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.
Solar Power Prism Maker
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!
The Little Book of Light
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.
Globe string lights
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!
8-inch Discoball
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.
Find the Light Print
Handlettered print by yours truly! A great reminder to put in your favorite place.
Glittery Birkenstocks
I bet you’d like looking down and seeing sparkles when you’re wearing these.
Glitter Old School Vans
Guess who is getting tons of compliments on their shoes?? You! Look at you sparkle!
Large Prism Ball
Isn’t this thing magical? It’s definitely on my wishlist!
Gold Streamers:
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.
Sparkly Stud Earrings
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!
