Birthday Blooms…

It’s no secret that I LOVE flowers! I love fresh flowers & potted flowers!  This year, Kevin surprised me on my birthday with 3 sets of beautiful fresh cut flowers… They are so pretty I thought I should share!

In an effort to blog MORE, I have come up with a fun new schedule and way to blog. I have mentioned it several times this week and will be sharing a post all about it! The new idea should be F-U-N! And speaking of fun… I am thinking Just For Fun Fridays will be the topic each Friday!!!

Friday Fun posts will be all about fun, literally. It can be about flowers (hence today), inspiration, new ideas, wish list items & more. What do ya think?

Let’s start the first Friday Fun with some fresh flowers… Monday morning Kevin surprised me with 3 sets of fresh flowers… I adore getting flowers, picking out the perfect vase and finding the perfect spot to place them! Here’s how they look…

I love Gerbera daisies, Roses (as long as they are not red), Daises, Hydrangea and Peonies. What are your favorites? Do you love fresh flowers? I try and keep my flowers looking healthy as long as I can… in fact, here’s the method I use to keep the blooms lasting! Comment below and tell us your favorite fresh flower… do you buy them for yourself from time to time? DO TELL…

  • Shout out for National Pet Day to Finley who came at the perfect time to bring our family joy! After losing our beloved Bentley, I really thought I wouldn’t want another dog for awhile. Just about a month later last fall, this precious Mini Goldendoodle captured my heart from @d_shalom_goldendoodles! To say we are in love with him would be an understatement! He is super sweet, smart and just the best! Love his little heart shaped nose! #nationalpetday #minigoldendoodle #goldendoodle Dog bed from @tjmaxx . . . #lakewoodranch #bestdog #beatdogever #furbabies #dogbed #bohodog #sarasota #dogsofinstagram

  • Miss Lilah Chapel danced beautifully in her very first dance recital! I enjoyed every second and might have shed a few tears! She stepped out on stage and starting waving at me, pointing telling everyone I was her mommy and saying hi! The music came on and I was watching this beautiful girl I had prayed and dreamt about twirl around. I was instantly overcome with emotion and gratitude! God surely is so good! . . . #lakewoodranch #woodlandfineartsacademy #dancerecital #ballerina #ballerinasofinstagram #sweetgirl #danceforjesus #dancingforjesus
