Ladies Spring Shoes

Leave a comment

Honestly the best part about spring besides the fashion is the shoes. Are you with me? I hate wearing socks and putting on boots, I love being able to slip something on quick and fashionable.

There are so many great fashionable shoes, that I can choose from. There is something about the spring and summer months that just boost my self esteem. Does fashion and shoes do that for you too?

Here are my top six ladies spring fashion shoes.

    1. Kali Footwear Women’s Cocoa Flat Thong Sandals Thongs are kind of my favorite shoes.. I love getting them on quick and easy, and can wear them around the house too.
    2. Women Sandals, Shybuy Women Summer Sandals Round Toe Breathable Beach Casual Sandals Boho Peep Toe Wedges Shoes  I love a good pair of wedges. These look super cute, but are also SOOO comfortable!!
    3. Rampage Women’s Santini Cutout Lace-Up Open Toe Ankle Strap Gladiator Sandal  How CUTE are these? Sometimes I feel like I am old because I can’t wear stylish shoes, but these are just amazing!
    4. Rainbow Sandals Women’s Single Layer Premier Leather Narrow Strap These are super sturdy and are the best for beach and waterparks, end of story.
    5. Vionic Women’s Pacific Rio Platform Sandal – Ladies Adjustable Slide Sandal with Concealed Orthotic Arch Support  Again, these are super sturdy and good for vacations. They have extra cushioning on them as well.
    6. PiePieBuy Women’s Cut Out Espadrille Platform Wedge Sandals Ankle Strap Peep Toe Suede Shoes LOVE booties in the winter months, so I am glad to have found these for the summer months with a little more style fo them.

Easter is such a fun time of year. I love decorating eggs, then splitting them open, going on hunts, and of course having gifts. Baskets are super simple, fun, and easy to do. You don’t even need to spend a lot, unless of course you want to.

I have a three and half year old son, and we are to the point where he likes so much fun and different stuff… even chocolate. Who doesn’t love chocolate?? What are some of your traditions that you are doing this year? Do you keep the same traditions every year?

This year, we are doing things slightly different, but it will still be fun. I am always up for changing things a little and trying new thing, especially as my son gets older.

You can even save for stocking stuffers later in the year. My son loves all of these items.
  2. Count on the Easter Pups! (PAW Patrol)  My son is at a stage where he LOVESS to count, so this is the perfect gift for him.
  3. Ehome Wooden Percussion Musical Egg Easter Maracas Egg Shakers Kids Toys with Assorted Colors. he LOVESSS being able to use his senses and shaking is one of them, so this is so much fun for him too.
  4. Crayola Color Bath Dropz 3.59 Ounce (60 Tablets)  Bathtime is always fun, this makes it even more fun. He loves colors, and seeing how they turn in baths!
  5. Purple Ladybug Novelty Slow Rising Easter Bunny & Friends Jumbo SQUISHIES Pack in Gift Worthy Box: Bunny, Chick, & Easter Basket Kawaii Soft Squishy Toys & Bonus Stickers Come with The Squishys! This is a great sensory item for him when he is over stimulated or stressed.

Spring Cleaning in Winter

7 Comments

Even though it is winter time and it is hard to focus on the fact that spring is around the corner, you need to start. Plan now rather than trying to do it all later. What do I mean?

Begin creating your spring cleaning list NOW rather than waiting.

  1. Wipe Walls and Ceilings: This task can be hard and not done often. You can clean by using a vacuum to remove dust. Tackle stubborn surface grime with this cleaner. 
  2. Clean Rugs: You can wash your rugs, and carpet, using this deep-cleaner with a rotary shampoo machine. It is easy to use and is super affordable one to two times a year.
  3. Dust Shelves: You will want to take everything off the shelves. Brush shelves and books with a feather duster. Wipe this off accordingly, and you have clean shelving.
  4. Clean Upholstered Furnishings: Go ahead and take cushions outside and gently air clean them by brushing them off. You will want to vacuum the couches, chairs, etc., anything that is not on the cushions.
  5. Wash Window Screens: Windows can be difficult to cleanse. Clean the windows by using warm water and a mild dishwashing liquid on the glass. Then, the screens by scrubbing each with a brush. Seems simple enough. Clean Window Treatments: Read the labels on any curtains or drapery, and freshen-up accordingly.

There are so many spots to clean in your house, especially once a year. This preparation can honestly help your home get back on track and wash all the winter yuck out. There is nothing worse than having dust and germs living in your house. You only need to do take these steps once or twice a year, and it will be fine!

The Top 3 Best Gardening Tips

Leave a comment

Planning is essential to growing a successful garden. You must start by finding out your climate, soil type, average rainfall, and sunlight exposure. This will determine what kinds of plants you can grow and what supplies you’ll need.

  1. Pick Your Plants: Lettuce is quick and easy, since you start with seeds in the garden. Make sure to look for heat tolerant varieties if you’ll be growing and harvesting in the summer.  Tomatoes are a plant that provides big payback;, this is my favorite thing to grow. Pick about 3-5 items to grow, especially if you are new to gardening. It is always smart to find a blog, or book, that you can refer to when gardening at first.
  2. Gear Needed: You will need to have a full-size shovel if you’re digging into the ground, plus a hand towel for smaller work. You will also want to make sure that you have some gloves for pulling out some weeds, etc. Consider a hose and sprinkler, as well. After all you might not want to garden them manually. Sometimes when it is too hot outside it is better for the seeds to actually get more water with a sprinkler.
  3. The Right Spot: Plants are only as good as the ground they grow in. Typically, you will want to use the spot that gets the most sunlight so they can grow. Plus, ensure the water .is near by if possible.

You can always make do with the items that you have already., Be sure to do some research before starting, too. Even if you have been gardening before, you can consistently learn more about bettering your practices.
