Things to think about

What to do differently when you’re on summer break!

Sit back and relax!

So, let me start with the basics; always have a clear plan for your spending. Save and make sure that the bills can get paid while you’re off! I suggest at least 2-3 months of expenses or a nice cushion so there’s no struggling.

Secondly, have activities and events for the kids! As a mom of 5, I have 3 kids at home to take care of. My oldest granddaughter is 6 and we have debates about food, WiFi and naps! Naps are great and should be respected! A quick recharge can help you function better through the day and you’ll sleep awesome at night too!

A chillax breakfast and then we outside!
We’re getting ready for the holiday season!

I’m also an educator, so my summer is almost over. Sigh 😔 but! This brings up another fun question? Do you dive into the holiday preparations now or wait?

We don’t!!! As you can see, we got Christmas cards crafting and ornament painting to do!

So again, Mrs. G is going to budget and save for next summer, create space for crafts and naps and lastly, have fun!!

Bahamas 🇧🇸 are in my view for 2027, again!

Refresh and relax the rest of July and August is right around the corner! Take a few moments to breathe and enjoy yourself!!! Your body will thank you later 😊

Until next time,

Enjoy 😊

Peace and blessings fam 🌺🥀🌺

A risk I’m glad I took

Describe a risk you took that you do not regret.

I risked joining the Navy when I had a fear of water. My dad, brother and grandfather drowned on Father’s Day weekend when I was five. That was a long time ago in 1979. Man, time flies!

I don’t regard going in the military at all. It gave me a sense of purpose and a sense of duty. My sisters didn’t see why I did it, but it was for me. Again, I had an intense fear of large bodies of water! They were taken in Lake Mead on the Colorado River side! So I regret to say that I did not want to see that monster again!

I’ve flown in airplanes and went right over it. I survived. I went on a cross to the Bahamas and flew back home, survived!

It was our anniversary!!!

In closing, I’m so glad I went!

Face your fears, state them in the face and scream until they leave!!!! Could you believe I actually owed a swimming pool as well? Chile, talk about brave! Until next time,

Peace and blessings ya’ll 🌺

The day after Easter 🐣

It is written that Jesus was raised from the dead. It is also written that He went to Hell and saved everyone there except Jezebel.

Jesus Christ did not just live and die, He walked this Earth, healed and made people whole. The commercialization of His rising makes it seem as if we have to have something else to celebrate at the same time! We don’t! We can celebrate His Majesty’s walk on Earth, parables and miracles.

We enjoy Christmas as well. Even though the gift is Jesus Christ being born, but we throw charity and togetherness in the mix so it doesn’t look so bad.

If you believe in God and know what you that you know, you would celebrate Him by doing what the Bible says and do not give into the hype of bunnies laying eggs! Santa Claus and reindeer delivering presents in one night! Hogwash!!

The Son lived and died for our sakes. His peace He leaves with us all. Love as if He’s never left, worship as if He’s a deliverer and believe in His Word.

Peace and blessings my lovies 🌺

How to have a good summer while cleaning up!

Link to an article apple.news/ACQAVnF3fSkCMQgEwo8F-ow

We all want a totally organized and neat home. You can’t tell me that you don’t agree! I want a Pinterest worthy home! Me me me!! But, it doesn’t work out that way all the time. Kids, clutter and incoming mail! It will bog you down.

It can make you NOT want to clean or organize.

Consider when mail comes in, instead of throwing in the already pile of weekly ads, sort it out and trash what you don’t need firsthand.

A pin worthy living room! Nice 👍🏾

Nothing wrong with being a tad messy, just keep it cute and simple! Avoid DOOM, don’t organize or move. Stuff that doesn’t have a home gets dusty!!!

Happy cleaning 🧼 up fam!
