“The power of finding beauty in the humblest things makes home happy and life lovely.”
―
Some of my favorite days are spent indoors, around my home, just pottering around, whether doing the usual daily tasks that are needed, creating something, or just sitting on a favorite chair with a blanket and good book.
You know how some people only associate blankets with cold weather? I am not one of those, and will often reach for a blanket to drape over my legs, no matter what I'm doing. To me it means cozy and comfy.
The kitchen seems to be the place I spend the most time in, there is always something to do, whether it's dishes or cooking or laundry. The humdrum of activity is never ending, even if no one is in there, the dishwasher will be going. I always think of my kitchen as a beating heart, constantly going, keeping the whole house powering through the day.
I recently started using these new Downy Botanicals laundry fragrance booster, and am really loving them. They are a bit pricey in my opinion, but they last me a long time because I don't use a lot, but the clothes smell amazing for days after.
So far I've tried the Folia and now the Peonia and I must say though they're both wonderful, I love the Peonia. Have you tried these?
I've been meticulous about watering my plants and moving them around to find the best place where they will thrive, and I think I've nailed it. They are growing so big and doing so well, I'm right chuffed with them.
When I think back on how many poor plants I killed over the years, oh goodness.
The rain has been coming down here and there. Some very strong storms, other just a sprinkle for what seems a minute then gone. But, always the sky littered with the sweetest looking puffy clouds.
I used to take photographs of the sky, all the time, when we were stationed in Arizona, and I haven't in a long time, but I think I need to start doing it again.
Once my homemaking chores for the day are complete, I usually take that time to get my steps in, do my quick daily workout and then read, although I haven't been reading as much, because I finally picked up my crochet blanket again. Yay!!!
I have made good progress on it and will be beginning Part 4 today. Here is the end of Part 3 where we created this lace effect and sweet flowers.
How pretty is that?
I will continue showing you as the blanket progresses.
My homemaking days are pretty much the same, and I think that's why I also stopped sharing as many posts because I didn't want to bore you all with the same thing over and over. However, my husband reminded me that as much as this blog is for others to read as well, it is mainly for me and for us as a memory for years to come, and as such, I need to post for us, so that we have these memories to look back in the future.
I think he's right. So, I apologize in advance if it bores you all but you will probably see more daily posts of just normal living and homemaking.
I love reading other blogs and seeing their day to day and never find them boring, so I am hoping you feel the same way. Fingers crossed!!!
