When you are sick....

Hello friends!! I have been dealing with food poisoning or a stomach bug. I have been under the weather for a few days. All my plans for this week came to a crashing halt. 



                                         I had to throw a little humor in this post!!! 



Are you a homebody? I am on the most part! I love to be at home although I do love a good hike, walk or outdoor time and a few trips here and there along with some lunch or coffee days out BUT on the most part I do love to be at home. 


I have been stuck in the bed or close to the "home" for particular reasons :) (you are spared the reason) for most of this week I have been enjoying reading blogs, Pinterest scrolling and reading when I am not feeling too sick to my stomach. I am not watching YouTube or any type of movies or shows until April 1st. This has been a tad challenging during this time. As it is always easier to put on a cozy show and sleep on and off when you are sick. 


Here are a few fun things I have come across to "kill" the time while getting better. Some of the things have made me excited about spring!


                                                     What a neat idea!!! Image off Pinterest.


Ever heard of Birdscaping?? I haven't and as I LOVER of ALL THINGS BIRDS, I plan to use some of these ideas from this article! How to Birdscape a Small Yard! Check it out! Also, another quick article here!


Here is a neat Idea!!! This looks so easy and cheap to do! I need some for our back patio!! I would put mosquito repellent candles in mine. It is planting pots! Genius! Check below!

Although.... Food has not been at the top of my list to think about I am searching for our Valentine Dessert Idea.

Oh.... and I love all things Lemon! My mom and I love lemon stuff. But our husbands and other family do not! So, when we get together alone, we often eat lemon things or gift each other lemon things.

This looks neat...


A slow cooker Lemon Cake!!! Full instructions here!! I sent this to my mom as well. 


I have been going down a lot of rabbit holes in the last few days! I also looked at some outfit ideas for the spring. I like to use what I have already or thrift things. I get inspiration on Pinterest how to change up what I already own. 


I would not consider this a wedding guest outfit BUT I do love the flow of this comfy and feminine look of this outfit. I already own some similar things I might can make this outfit!!!

This is so classy!!! I have a similar white skirt and a light denim button up top! So, this would be a cute twist of those two things for the spring/summer. I need a belt though!!!

I will leave you with this!! I love milk glass. I used to collect years ago. Isn't this table centerpiece lovely for spring/Easter??

Until next time.................

Oh my goodness, I am so sorry you have been so sick! I do hope this will pass quickly. I would think food poisoning would pass more quickly. Maybe you have the flu? Whatever it is, you are doing the right thing by just resting and letting your body heal. I love the pictures you've shared. The outfits look comfy and neat. The milk glass centerpiece is beautiful. And I love all things bird too, and that bird bath made from clay pots is perfect! Not sure I'd use the glass chimneys on a back porch only because of around here the wind could topple them, or a cat might jump on the table beside them and accidentally knock them over...maybe if it was just for a special dinner and then removed. They are pretty enough to use inside too. Take care and allow your body to heal. You've been really busy and sometimes we just have to be forced to get some rest...but still...that's not a fun way to do it. (((HUGS)))
