Journey Jots #69

Hello, guys!

How are you? How was your week? Do have any fun plans coming up?

I love hearing from you and learning what’s new in your world. Let me know in the comments!

Life Lately

We honestly have not been doing much because it’s just been SO COLD! We’ve been laying low at home, enjoying the warmth of the indoors 🙂

Last weekend, we had a lovely fire in the fireplace and played Sequence. It was so cozy!

It snowed several inches here last week so Miss Molly played in the snow for the first time last weekend! She wasn’t quite sure what to do but still…so cute in her puffy pink snowsuit:)

Tilly, on the other hand, wants nothing to do with being outside in the cold and snow. She prefers to sleep in her hoodie in her warm bed 🙂 I know Tilly is just longing for warm days where she can go lay outside!

Finally, I’ve been futzing around in my new curio cabinet! It’s so much fun to play with my vintage decor and arrange it in new ways! This coming week, you’ll see a brand new blog post about it so stay tuned!

Weekly Shopping Finds- Things I’m Loving Right Now

This collapsible funnel set is AMAZING! The smallest one is the perfect size for filling up my spice jars!
These wood scoops are another fun kitchen utensil…I am using one in my flour bin and one in my brown sugar container.
My favorite travel-sized lotion. I keep this in my purse at all times. It works and smells SO good!
I’m totally into anything Spring or green right now and these moss bunnies are giving me all the cute vibes. I like to style them into vignettes or basket displays!
I run this small humidifier throughout the day to help keep my hands from getting so dry. It’s totally working!
My sister found this super cute sweatshirt and now I want one. Think I might just order one of them today!
These PEONY STEMS!! That’s all I’ll say about that 🙂
