The best part of Haven is seeing many of my blogger friends. The friendships built over the years are beyond amazing. It’s women helping and supporting other women.

happy birthday to me

Sundays Life In The Blooms 2022 Birthday

How about these beautiful birthday blooms?

Friday, July 29th – I celebrated my birthday quietly at home. My son, Zach dropped by with an Carvel Ice Cream Cake from my mother. The beautiful bouquet of flowers are from my daughter Amanda, her husband Wayne and two of my grandchildren Madilyn and Anakin.

Orange, pink and that beautiful green just screams summer to me! There is something magically about the colors orange and pink together.

this week on the blog

Christmas in July! SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!

This week projects were about getting a jump start on Christmas. I have been crafting and making fun ideas for my holiday decor!

Believe it or not, I usually craft in the months of July and August for Christmas. This way, I concentrate on shopping in the fall. December is the month I love to bake and enjoy gatherings with friends and family.
