Gratitude in Quarantine
I am amazed at how much we take for granted in our lives. Now that we have all chosen to stay home for the greater good I’m making a list of all the things I didn’t give thanks for but was doing on a daily basis.
A Simple Christmas Tree Setup – DIY December
I love Christmas Trees! Always have and always will. There is something about the season, the trees and the Hallmark movies that gets me every every time. I'm a Muslim but we have always had Christmas in our house growing up. I know all the carols. I love the feeling of the holidays and family coming home.
Simple and Easy December Daily Spreads – DIY December

Decoupage Trays – DIY December
