My Personal Moments
- Are you a golfer? I am not, but my husband is. This week, Big Al got his 3rd hole-in-one! Three…can you imagine? I’m so happy for him!
- Do you have hydrangeas? Mine are breathtaking this year! I have three plants and they are all a different color. It wasn’t my plan, but hey, it’s okay! Together, they make a beautiful arrangement! I’m looking forward to drying mine again this season. If you’ve never dried hydrangeas you can see my post How to Dry Hydrangeas for Beginners.
- Some of you have been asking how my mother is doing. She is currently in rehab and working hard to get better. Thanks for all your kind wishes and prayers!
My Favorite Weekly Find
I have a pair of battery operated wall sconces that I bought for my spare bedroom. I can’t begin to tell you how wonderful they are! There are no cords to hide and the remote control has multiple lighting options. I’ve been looking for a lamp for my She Room desk, however, I also needed one without cords. I found the BEST one below and I’ve linked it for you, too!

Happy Sunday, Kim! I have hydrangeas on the north side of our house, but this is the second summer now that only one of them has bloomed. I think I need to do some research to figure out what is going on 🙁 I hope you are staying cool…it has been SO hot here. Too hot to do any gardening for sure. Thanks so much for sharing my pineapple jalapeno salsa recipe. I hope you enjoy it!
Hey Jen! Hydrangeas are hard! This is the second year in a row that I have had luck. I moved them to the north side of my house and they have done amazing there. Have the best week, friend!
Thanks, Kim for sharing my egg bites. They are really delicious! I love the beautiful colors of your Hydrangeas. I bet they look gorgeous in your home.
You’re welcome! They look so yummy!
