As the vibrant days of summer has ended and we tra

As the vibrant days of summer has ended and we transition into the crisp embrace of fall, I feel a shift within myself too. The changing seasons remind me of the beauty in reflecting and allowing space for growth.

For a while now, I felt a gentle tug on my heart - a call to reflect and lean deeper into the presence of God. After much prayer and reflection, I’ve decided to take a step back and unplug from social media for a season.

This invitation is one that I believe God has so graciously and mercifully placed before me, to continue walking the path He has laid out for me.

In this quiet time, I hope to deepen my relationship with Him even more, focus on the gifts He’s given me, and seek His guidance for the next steps. It’s both humbling and exciting to embrace the season of stillness and faith.

I will miss connecting with all of you, but I am confident that this time will bring renewal and clarity. I hope to return with a refreshed spirit, new inspiration, and a heart full of gratitude. Thank you for your understanding, your support, your continued prayers for my health, and prayers during this time.🙏🏼.

In the meantime, here’s a glimpse of how I’ve transitioned our home to welcome the cozy warmth of autumn. With each new season, I love refreshing our space to reflect the change outdoors—think textures, earthy tones, and subtle accents that bring the feeling of fall inside. 🍂

Here’s to embracing the new season ahead. See you soon.❤️

A simple front entryway refresh.

It started out with our new @porteandhall ultra-thin doormat that is made to fit under your door. It’s slip resistant, stain resistant, and most importantly water absorbent (so needed during those rainy and snowy days).

We’ve had our umbrella stand for a while and it’s the perfect shape and size to place in a corner space. It”s great to house our Totes wooden stick umbrellas in.

I created a little moment in the front foyer with new Botanica prints from @diana.brambila. I found the perfect gold frames on Amazon. I removed the glass inserts so that the high quality canvas paper can show through, to appear as original artwork😉.

With an abundance of limelight hydrangeas we have

With an abundance of limelight hydrangeas we have in our backyard, I clipped a bunch so that we can enjoy having an arrangement on our outdoor dining table.

I decided to use my rectangle glass ribbed vase and since I didn’t use any floral mechanics, I arranged the stems in a crisscross pattern. I find this allows the stems to stay in place. I start by inserting the stems on each corner of the vase and then work my way to the center. I had cut exactly enough to create a lush looking arrangement.

On other news, I have to share what a beautifully blessed morning I had. It started with me attending mass, then I visited the monastery and read a few pages of scripture in their garden, I prayed, and came home to make this flower arrangement. Thereafter, I looked through my devotional book and read today’s devotion - here is an excerpt…When you walk through a day with childlike delight, savoring every blessing, you proclaim your trust in Me, your ever-present Shepherd. The more you focus on My Presence with you, the more fully you can enjoy life. Glorify Me through your pleasure in Me. Thus you proclaim My Presence to the watching world.
After reading that, I smiled at the blessing and enjoyment of today. Godbless❤️

Spotted this ever so dainty blue glass bud vase at HomeGoods. I knew our drink table would be the perfect spot for it. Filled it a few fragrant white stock stems, the perfect blend of simplicity and sweet aroma.

Using dish towels for drying dishes or lining brea

Using dish towels for drying dishes or lining bread baskets are essential. But here’s my little secret: I love displaying a pretty dish towel on my stove handle. It adds a touch of charm and a little extra beauty.

Which one of these towels would be your favorite to showcase? Let me know if you want me to send you the link for any of these.

Yesterday, I had some bloodwork done and met with

Yesterday, I had some bloodwork done and met with my oncologist to discuss the plan(s) with how we will proceed based on the results of last week’s tumor marker blood test. The results finally came in, moments ago…

Hallelujah!!! I’m here to spread the Good News!! The results showed that, thus far, the new treatment of drugs seems to be working!! All THANKS to my ultimate Healer and Physician, the mercy of our Heavenly Father. After several months of two failed treatments that have not worked in treating this cancer and my oncologists who have both expressed that my options of treatments are becoming low, it has been an emotional journey, to say the least. One where I found myself clinging to Jesus and His sacred heart. Clinging to His teachings, the wisdom He offers me, and asking that He keeps my desire for Him and His word ever burning in my heart. I felt a beautiful change emerge, I continue to feel and see how He is working in transforming me from within.

While I prayed fervently for this treatment to work, I had to learn what it means and feels like to surrender, to fully surrender, as faith is not just in believing what he can do for you, it’s trusting that even if your desire is not aligned with God’s will, you are okay in trusting His plan. I had to accept this and be okay with whatever may come. This past month, I found myself saying things to my spouse on a regular like…”oh well if I’m not here”, or “when I’m gone”, or even talking about my funeral. For me, I found that little by little, I was accepting the “what if”. It surely wasn’t easy and it never will be really but it was my way of preparing myself mentally and accepting the plan of the will of God. Of course the day will come as we are not here to live on this earth forever but the grace and mercy He has offered me today, brings me tearfully to my knees!!

To all those that have reached out to tell me you are continuously praying for me…THANK YOU for covering me in prayer!!!! To all of you who pray for me in silence…THANK YOU for covering me in prayer! Please know, I always ask the Lord to bless you and that may your prayers be answered. CONTINUED IN COMMENTS..

Just finished creating this elegant floral arrange

Just finished creating this elegant floral arrangement featuring pristine, white and green carnations, paired with lush greenery of Kalanchoe stems!🌿 Carnations have such a sweet and slightly spicy - clove-like aroma. The delicate scent, and their long lasting beauty will keep the dining room fresh for days.

Adding to the ambience, I’ve introduced a new scented candle from the McGee and Co Target collection. The notes of blackberry and eucalyptus is such an inviting scent and you can smell the fragrance throughout the main level of our house!

On other news (totally un-related to this reel)…I went to have blood drawn at the hospital this afternoon. Later next week, I will get the results to see if this new treatment that I started is showing that it’s working. Thank you for your continued prayers!!🙏🏼❤️

The heat outside this afternoon was just…🥵. So we fired up the grill but ate inside. Have a great 4th weekend!🎆

When I saw how @jodie.thedesigntwins created her beautiful and creative outdoor DIY solar fountain, I was so inspired, I had to recreate this for our deck!

The only thing I did differently was - I didn’t fill the whole bottom planter with soil, I placed a tall enough plastic planter that already had holes on the bottom of it, turned it upside down and then added the soil. I felt the larger planter didn’t need as much soil if I did it this way.

To find out where you can purchase all the items to recreate this look for your outdoor space, head on over to my stories to see @jodie.thedesigntwins reel.
