This is my son, Elijah. Instead of mailing him a care package while he serves, would you consider helping improve his ability to get around town? Any donation goes directly to him. #VanForUkrainianArmyVolunteer #PeaceForUkraine

I'm too excited to take a daylight pic... I just received an ARC of Dr. Marie Pierre St. Ogne's new book, Eat Better, Sleep Better. I'm making the Chamomile Ginger Cordial recipe first. Should I have posted without the pic?

www.stitchbuffalo.org/house-blessi... I love this handcrafted house blessing from #StitchBuffalo
Image of a handcrafted "house blessing" wall ornament made out of felt. The center of the arch shape is purple with embroidered blue and pink flowers. It is framed in embroidered black felt. It has 3 hanging tassels made of felt shapes and beads.

I'm thankful for family and friends today. I'm sitting down to send a few quick postcards. We recycle boxes by cutting them into postcard-size and then mail happy thoughts throughout the year. Wouldn't you smile if you received a happy note from a friend on a postcard? #thankful #recycle #happymail

Sometimes, we forget how blessed we are. My hot water works, I have groceries to eat, I can still afford eggs, I have clean sheets on my bed, I have family and friends that love me, and I woke up today in my right mind. If that's not blessed, I don't know what is.
