I LOVE my “Le Creuset” I won!!!

Yes, I won it! I entered a giveaway over on Instagram and won this beautiful Le Creuset Enamel Coated Cast Iron Dutch Oven from @lecreuset & @womenoftoday hosted by Camila Alves McConaughey.

Thank you again!

It was such a nice surprise on Mother’s Day getting the news that I had won!  I chose this beautiful white one.

I was so happy to receive my gift yesterday. Now I’m admiring this beautiful addition to my kitchen and looking forward to cooking with it!

Eeek!...I still can't believe I won this beautiful Le Creuset Dutch Oven!!!

Magnolia Blooms and Vase

 

“April showers brings May flowers”

...And so does Michaels!

~ I ordered these lovely magnolia blooms from Michaels and they are so beautiful! I’ve added them to some willow branches in this pretty embossed metal 20inch vase I got from Amazon and I’m loving the beauty they add to our foyer area!

Our Breakfast Area Decor for Spring

Welcome beautiful May!

It will be only a day longer than April, but I sure hope it feels longer than that...April went so fast!

This is our breakfast area decor for Spring, 

Enjoying this view of our breakfast area and beyond.  Spring is showing off on this beautiful first day of May.  Green being one of my favorite colors it brings me joy, and it's going on outside and inside.

I love this heart shaped tin, and this beautiful green painted wood and iron piece I’ve paired it with. So easy to change up for the seasons.  Both are favorite thrift store finds.

I fell for the heart shapes within them...because “hearts” are a happy-heart making thing for me!

 

Happy May!

Mini Wooden Books Makeover using Chalk Paint

A crafty makeover to this little set of wooden books found at a thrift store. I knew I could make them better & more to my liking by simply using paint!

Crafty ideas came to mind of painting them white and adding words. I’m loving them in this new look and have left them as is ...for now!

Below is the before of the these mini wooden books!  I'm so pleased with this little crafty project!

Spring Refresh Centerpiece/Table Decor

Loving these glorious spring days!

And all the spring greens, and a little refresh with this centerpiece for our table!

I enjoy changing up this centerpiece box.  This is nice look for Spring.  With greens, white flowers, a bird with succulent for the center instead of a candle, and the "hello spring" sign.

~ Hello SPRING!

Dining room View ~ Spring 2021

We're having lots of sunshine today!  

I love soft neutral tones and I'm enjoying this view from our kitchen into the dining room.  Light and bright for Spring.

Bright & Beautiful days are the best!

HOME Pillow Cover~Spring Decor in Our Family Room

It’s HOME that I love the most!

It is my favorite place!

And green...I love green!

::: For Spring I did a simple and quick change here in our family room by adding a different floral arrangement and my “HOME” pillow cover!

~ Tip of the day ~

Changing your decor is as easy as changing your pillows!

Pillow covers are one of my favorite decor items. They’re not expensive and are easy to store when not in use.

Chicken Fajita Bowl

 

This is a healthy and delicious favorite!  And, the answer to “What’s for dinner?!”

Chicken Fajita Bowl.  

Sautéed chicken, peppers & onions, brown rice, black beans, avocado, jalapeño, and cheese. Easy and delicious, filling and nutritious!  This is very customizable and can be made by simply using the amount of each ingredient per your liking and omitting those that you don't. 

Taco Tuesday could be Fajita Bowl Tuesday instead?!

~ Chicken Fajita Bowl ~

::: Sauté diced chicken breast in 1 Tbsp olive oil, add sliced peppers and onions, sprinkle on fajita seasoning and cook until chicken is done and peppers/onions are crisp tender.

In a medium sized bowl layer in 1/2 cup cooked brown rice, chicken, peppers and onions, black beans and additional fresh ingredients-avocado, jalapeño, shredded cheese.

Optional: Top with sour cream and salsa. {Less carb alternative-omit rice and sub mixed greens.}

Enjoy!

St. Patrick’s Day Tiered Tray

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Count your blessings!!!

I don't really decorate the whole house for St. Patrick's Day, but I did a simple "St. Patrick's Day" themed Tiered Tray in honor of the holiday!

Here's an Irish Blessing:

“May your troubles be less your blessings be more, and may nothing but happiness come through your door.

May love and laughter light your days, and warm your heart and home.

May good and faithful friends be yours wherever you may roam.

May peace and plenty bless your world with joy that long endures.

May all life’s passing seasons bring the best to you and yours.”

~ Wishing you great health and happiness with an abundance of luck and love!
