Random thoughts on a Saturday morning with unlimited potential:
1. We are starting to plan out the flower beds for spring planting. I’m so excited. We are adding new curved beds around the fence in the backyard. The birdhouse will be so happy.
2. Are you watching the Super Bowl? Cheering for one particular team? Since the Cowboys aren’t in the game, I’m here for the commercials and the half-time show.
3. If you are a blogger or creator and you want to increase your affiliate income? I just wrote an e-book on affiliates and how they work and how you can increase your income.
4. Thank you so much for all your sweet e-mails and messages about my mother. She’s doing so much better now and is well on her way to recovering from hip surgery.
4. It was an amazing week on the blog. We talked about:
- these budget spring decorating ideas
- this 5-minute flower arrangement idea
- 5 simple no-sew curtain hacks
- how I organize a day in my life
5. I was so sad that football is almost over and then I realized that basketball is just around the corner. I love March Madness. Who are you rooting for?

Hi Karianne. Always a fun way to start my Saturday morning. The hand-painted, heart-shaped cookies are lovely (double check the link, I wanna make those-smile). Such beautiful selections and inspiration. Happy weekend. xoxo
Oooops, just found the link. Thanks, I'm going to try these. xoxo
Karianne, I thought those beautiful cookies where ceramic hearts. LOL I am so glad your Mom is better and on the road to recovery. Thank you for always making me laugh.
Our “ spring break trip” for the last 15 years has been to March Madness! Husband played college ball and coached so we’ve always loved it! We choose a site in October we’d like to spend a week at, not knowing what teams will be there come March! It’s a fun time with great fans!
Since becoming widowed football or in fact any sport is not my thang...but cookies are. Those are so beautiful. And the grapevine floral wreath is a beauty too. Awww just the talk of spring and flower beds touches the cockles of my heart. I love your dsily blog. Always ends in a smile.
The tulip cake is beautiful. Very intricate and time consuming I'm sure. Love the wreath as well. Have a great weekend. I will be watching March Madness with you as well as the Super Bowl.
Those heart cookies look the sweetest. The home tour is beautiful, and the wreath gets me in the mood for spring. Somewhere along the way, I missed your Mama had hip surgery. I'm so sorry, but SO glad to hear she is on the mend. Happy last football weekend. Make fun snacks and cheer even if the Cowboys aren't in it. :)
GREAT thistles, KA! That house tour - woah - what a beautiful all white feminine home. Loved every single space. And Lucy's hand painted cookies? How could anyone EVER actually eat one of those beauties?? Thx for a wonderful visit during my teatime today. Always look forward to seeing it!
