Good Monday morning, my friends. I hope you had a cozy weekend in your part of the world. We said goodbye, for now, to the ocean and are safe and sound back at home. Today is cold and snowy in Pennsylvania. The fireplace is on, and I have nowhere to be. I plan to do laundry, do school with Flynn, and put away the groceries Steve is picking up after work. One last picture from our trip to the beach. These two have so much fun. God certainly knew what he was doing when he sent Flynn to our family.
This morning, I lit my Yankee Easter candle, Strawberry Bunny Shortcake, and it smells fantastic. It is sweet but not too sweet. A must for me. I am trying to begin my day in a calmer, healthier manner with a pretty cup of hot water with lemon. I am sure there are specific benefits to this but suffice to say, I feel better about myself when I do it. So there's that! And finally, I am sharing my current read with you because I love this book so far! It is so very well written. I am having trouble putting it down!
Well, that is all for now, my friends. Have a lovely day wherever you call home.
Thanks for visiting. I am always glad you do.
And please continue prayers for Ukraine.

Glad to hear you had a nice weekend.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the book recommendation. I'll add it to my list.
Have a great Monday!!
Back to the fireplace in a chilly day. We're chilly here too.
ReplyDeleteI have a candle that is that TOO MUCH level - its Love by Bath & Body Works - WHEWWW. its STRONG. SO I get the "not too sweet" thing.
I need to start the day off with warm water & lemon - I know lemons are so good for the body!
Hope you have a nice relaxing Monday settling into home
Your posts are always so positive and cozy! A snowy day at home always sounds good. I am off to look for that book. You always have good recommendations! I am currently reading Simone St. James' new book The Book of Cold Cases. So creepy and good! Yes, we are continuing to pray for all of those brave souls suffering in Ukraine.
ReplyDeleteThose after thought kids are a blessing. We also had an oops! baby.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to see if my library has that book as an ebook. I love to read books on my IPAD. Enjoy your week!
ReplyDeleteWe are having on and off bouts of snow as well.
ReplyDeleteStarting your day off with lemon water is supposed to be good for you or so I have heard. So good for you!
I miss going to the beach! I never thought I'd be a fan of candles but I am now. My current buy is the coco-vanilla and the room smells like heaven with it.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to drink more water. Perhaps I should try the pretty cup and lemon slice to make it more appealing!
ReplyDeleteI think it's so wonderful you have that special place on the ocean. Such a perfect getaway no matter the weather. Always a comforting sight - a pretty tea cup with a cozy warm beverage. I hope you have a very blessed week ahead. xoxo
ReplyDeleteSounds like quiet day.

Strawberry Shortcake Bunny Candle, how delightful! And I love that photo at the ocean. The water looks so calming. How blessed you are to have that dear Flynn. Hot water and lemon sounds nice. When I'm all out of tea, I sometimes make my own with cinnamon, and it's nice also. Your tea cup is the perfect shape and size. I have a thing for cups, and wish all of mine were like this. : )
