Encouraging Hearts and Home- Feeling Blue

My favorite color has always been blue-- all shades of blue!  Last week a few of the posts stood out to me with their eye catching pictures and shades of blue. I hope you like them & they make you smile just like I did.

    That is the cutest bee set up. I love it. And that muffin makes me hungry. I haven't had a good blueberry muffin in forever.

Dollar Store Candy Cane Wreath

Image
Today I am linking up with some fellow bloggers for a Dollar Store craft challenge.  I don't often participate in these challenges since I try to stay away from our local Dollar Stores; I find they can be quite dangerous for me!  I knew this was the perfect time to find some inexpensive holiday decorations though and I just LOVE how my wreath turned out!  I hope you stop by and see what the other hosts are sharing. Meet this month's co-hosts! Across the Blvd | Purple Hues & Me This Autoimmune Life | Our Unschooling Journey Domestic Deadline | Sew Crafty Crochet Stone Cottage Adventures | Sum of Their Stories | Two Chicks & a Mom I bought the candy cane wreath base and a few rolls of mesh (not knowing how many I'd need I bought waaay to many; I only ended up using one white roll and one red roll. Using some chenille stems I already had on hand I attached the mesh to the wreath base trying to alternate the white

Friday Favorites: A Day in The Life

Image
This is always one of my FAVORITE posts to write; every now and then I like to write up a little day in the life post.  It looks my last day in the life was in Feb. of 2021!  One of these years I'd love to a day in the life post for each season but I just never think of them This past Wednesday (the 14th)  4:30-- My husband's alarm is set to go off at 4:30 so I'm usually awake at this time but on this particular day I decided to get up and get dressed knowing I had more to do in the morning than usual. I got dressed and all ready for the day then headed downstairs to pack Alec's lunch (he normally does this himself but has a nasty cold this week and I'm trying to let him sleep in on school days this week). I also cooked up hard boiled eggs, prepped fruit for the next few days, and pulled out bacon and grinder rolls for dinner. I pulled out Evan's books for the day and got a plan in my head of what we were going to do for that.  6:00-- I went to wake Alec and c

Friday Favorites: 10 of My Favorite Fall Sweaters from Amazon

Image
 As I have slowly started pulling out more fall clothing and packing my summer stuff away, I was struck by how many of my favorite sweaters were found on Amazon.  Almost all of them are 2 years old and still holding up so well.  I thought I'd take this Friday to share them with you.  Unless specified I bought them all in a medium; which is my normal size. I also tried to find a photo of me wearing each of the sweaters but wasn't successful with every single one.   1. This sweater is probably my absolute favorite and after 2 years and countless washings it has held up really well too.  I've actually been debating about buying it in another color as well.  I just wore this one a few weeks ago! 2. I just bought this sweater a year ago and I love the thick warm turtleneck 3. Speaking of thick turtlenecks, this shorter sweater is so fun-- it's not so short that my back or stomach show but I does just meet the waistband of my jeans.   4. I loved the tighter sleeves of this
