Starting the new year off with some positive vibes Starting the new year off with some positive vibes. While most people despised 2020, I was able to embrace the crazy chaos along with all the good, positive things happening around me everyday. 
.
I started the quarantine with the goal of leaving better than I started. We're still in quarantine but I'm ending the year better than I started. 
.
I'm looking forward to 2021 as I continue to grow as a person and follow this path of well being. I hope you will join me as I am super excited to share my journey with you.

Wishing you all a year full of blessings, happiness and joy.❤

My decor is changing as we have shifted to tiny li My decor is changing as we have shifted to tiny living in our RV.
☀️
It is definitely a challenge because we have limited wall space so I can't hang things up.
☀️
I am updating the dark cabinets with white paint and pops of yellow for some cheer.
☀️
But I do manage to thrift in each state and find something I can incorporate into the RV or our future home.

Happy Mother's Day! My sweet hubby made breakfast Happy Mother's Day! My sweet hubby made breakfast and served it on the "special occasion" plate that I thrifted years ago. Today was a fun day with my family. My daughter did my hair, hubby picked flowers out of the garden, I walked in the rain, trash picked some plants on the curb and ate lots of carbs and had zero guilt. It was a perfect day!

3 cups of cold coffee

1 can sweetened condensed milk

ice cubes (frozen coffee cubes are a great option too)

What is the one thing you can't pass up at the fle What is the one thing you can't pass up at the flea market? For me, it is picture frames. They are inexpensive and so versatile. I even wrote a blog post all about upcycled frames sprinkled throught my house. This particular frames holds a photocopy of an envelope addressed to me from my Grandma. ❤

I follow Emily, from @tableandhearth and I commented on her story last week when she was at north Padre Island. We discovered that she works at the university where my girls go to school.
