A Little Bit of This and That~ Flowers, Easter Things, and a Date

 Hello everyone. I hope you all had a GOOD FRIDAY!

I had to do a little bit of a lot of this and that today to catch up on things. 😏 I paid bills, worked on church books, made deposits, spruced the inside of the abode and little of the outside, made our Easter menu, and shopping list. Yes, I am behind or maybe I am just on time. I don't know it is just how I am rolling this Easter season. I have a little bit more energy than I have been lately. Probably due to the huge dose of Vit D, Iron and rest. BUT I am still being gentle on myself!!!

Derrick was off today so after we he did some yard work (working on digging up all our Azaleas that died in a freeze) and I finished the inside things we made the church deposit, went to Home Depot and had a quick dinner at a new place that opened. It is a Tex Mex place, and it was alright. 😑

The inside of the place was beautiful and unique. The food was presented beautifully. It tasted "alright" and the service was decent. I will not rush to go back. It was very overpriced for tacos. Weird.... they had sushi. My husband loves it. That is a big NEGATIVE for me. 😉 

We headed home and finished up some projects. I want to share my potted plant arrangement I got. I love it. 

I still have a lot more to do to our porch to make it spring and summer ready. I wait to really decorate and make it look cozy & welcoming once the pollen slows down coating every single thing. It is starting to do that, thankfully. 

I have several things to plant in pots, power washing to be done, and a different wreath to add. For now, I just swept really good, wiped the table down and chair cushions and made it presentable. 

Do not worry.... my ferns will fill in those pots and look fuller over time. I do not start with really large ones because I can usually grow massive ferns. 

Oh, and I have a larger rug to go under the mat that is khaki and cream, but I am washing it currently.

All fresh and clean. Now.... let me show you my lovely tulips I am growing indoors.

I just love tulips. Aren't they lovely?!

I also played around with my table setting for Sunday dinner, tried on a dress I already have for Easter Service as I am trying to make do with things I have as far as clothes for now. 

I love this so much! I am so glad I picked up these plates. You can barely tell they are plastic. They are such good quality. 

This dress was a staple in my summer wardrobe capsule last year and I am bringing it back FOR NOW. 

For those of you that do not know.... I do a wardrobe capsule for Spring/Summer for my clothes and Fall/Winter.

I purchased this dress last year for Mother's Day and have worn it several times since. It is actually a little big on me, but I am going to make it work for at least this Sunday. I am not for sure if it will stay in my capsule due to the size. 

I will need a few items to be replaced this year for my wardrobe. If you do not know what a capsule is, I basically have a certain number of outfits, and I just wear them and switch things up to make the outfit look different at times. I started this when I began a little bit of a minimalist lifestyle years ago partly to get rid of clutter, overwhelm, and working on becoming a better steward. Also, we were being financially savvy. A nice way to say we were cutting expenses and trying to be more mindful to only bring in needs and special things as needed. 

Maybe I can do a more detail post another time if anyone is interested. 

Anyway.... I hope you have a lovely Saturday. 

With Love,
