Random thoughts on a sunny spring Saturday morning:

1. Thank you SO MUCH for everyone who checked on my mom. She is home and up and walking and ready to take on the world and a few minor planets.

2. I taped a new episode of “What I Bought Wednesday” is up on my YouTube channel. You’ve never seen anyone so excited to talk about lightbulbs in their entire life.

4. It was an amazing week on the blog. We talked about:

5. I have gotten so many questions about PB2 (powdered peanut butter) on my last post. It is AMAZING. I’ve eaten it during this weight loss journey.

    Glad your mom is doing well! ❤️ So many fun ideas this week! High school graduation is 2 years away for my daughter, but I loved the ideas and bookmarked that page for future reference. And the tea tags! Super fun! I could go on and on but I'll stop there.

    I am so happy your Mom is doing well. I'm not sure what I love most, the copper pots or the she shed and I'm all about nude lipsticks with a hit of sparkle.
