We're celebrating our anniversary this weekend. C has a 4 day weekend off. This morning, he took me down to the beach for sunshine and a pretty view.

Using the Good China for My Family
I love my daily use dishes. They have cute hearts on them. They're very quaint. But I also have more formal, also very feminine china that has been in a box since I got it. Time to change that. I've always saved the china for entertaining or special occasions.But why should other people get the … Continue reading Using the Good China for My Family
Art Room in Progress
My daughter and I are working on the art studio together. She puts everything in rainbow order, which I love. We have a beautiful light set to put on the wall, and I can't wait to get it set up. She's a wonderful designer and comes up with so many organizational ideas.
The Movers Came
Today the movers brought 2/3 of our stuff. The house is full of boxes and there's so much to do. We were tired by the end of the day, so we got pizza, relaxed, and now we're in bed. This week will be packed with unpacking. More updates coming soon.

We took care of errands together, but more … Continue reading Lovely Weekend, Lovely Week

Today I am running on little sleep and have … Continue reading Trying to Recover Me
1st Day
Today was my first day volunteering at the animal shelter! I loved it! I played with two dogs, one of whom was named Whimsy and loved to chase the ball. I played with kittens! I returned home early, however, because it poured on me, and I got drenched and uncomfortable. My raincoat is with the … Continue reading 1st Day
Little Updates
I drove by myself yesterday to go to my first appointment with my dr here. It went well, despite the fact it was pouring, and that made me an even bigger nervous wreck. The new medicine this Dr. put me on made me nauseous for a while, but other than that, it was a lovely … Continue reading Little Updates
Soaking in Femininity
Moving across the world is stressful. Missing my daughter, if only until August, is stressful. So is not having a car and so many other things right now. The stress has gotten to me. My husband does his best to keep stress off me, but it's impossible to move across the world and not feel … Continue reading Soaking in Femininity
