Hello everyone! I hope you have been having a good week. I don't have much to share but I still want to pop in to chat with my dear blogger friends.
One thing you may or may not know is that I help with a Pregnancy Center for ladies in need. Our church collected wipes throughout March. I dropped them off.
I used to volunteer two times a week but due to the travel and other commitments I now serve on the board, volunteer at the yearly fundraiser and 5K, and help at events. Today, we had a working lunch and discussed our upcoming 5K.
After that I HAD 😉 to head to (yes, HAD to 😏) Hobby Lobby. I am making a floral garland for Easter for the church, so I had to go get florals and etc. While I was in there, I found some plates for our Spring and Easter dinners. I normally do not splurge on these things BUT I needed (okay... wanted) some updated plates.
If you saw my post a few days ago you will notice I shared a blue and white tablescape I pinned off Pinterest that I want to do for Easter and Mother's Day. These plates aren't identical, but I love them. I can use them for some of my summer gatherings too.
I also surprised my daughter and her work staff with mini bundt cakes from Nothing Bundt Cakes. She works at an orthodontist, and they needed a little cheering up. She was so excited. It was nice to pop in and hug her. I love my Hannah girl.💗
On my way home on the Natchez Trace Parkway, I was heading into a bad storm. I made it home safely. We need the rain soooo very much. We need a lot more to be honest than what this storm poured out. It came fast and left fast.
After I got home, I was pretty tired. It was long day. The hubby picked up pizza which is a RARITY for us to do. It was nice. I haven't been having a lot of energy, so we tagged teamed on some chores. He did the cleanup of the kitchen which was minimal thankfully and I did laundry.
We are now comfortable doing our evening CHILLAXING. I am blogging and he is relaxing.
Tomorrow, I have some bookkeeping to do for the church, bills to pay for us and some cleaning. I need to do some last minute Easter preparations as well.
Thanks for popping in!
With Love,
Chrissy T

Deleteso nice of you to help out, in an area that really needs the help. i remember that pin, LOVED IT, so those lovely plates make perfect sense. what a wonderful spirit you have, surprising your daughter and her co-workers. i have 2 boys and if i did something like that they would kill me. it's so nice to have girls!!
ReplyDeleteHA!! I have done things like that for one of my sons. LOLOL, but his staff knows how I am. LOL
DeleteI. love the blue and white plates!!
ReplyDeleteYou had a busy day!
I'm sure the ladies will appreciate all those wipes.
Oh, they did. As soon as I walked in to bring them there were women that had just lost everything and needed them.
DeleteHello Chrissy! What a worthwhile cause with all that your church does as well as what you do with and for the pregnancy center.
ReplyDeleteThe blue and white plates at Hobby Lobby are gorgeous! I love blue and white. My everyday dishes are Blue Willow.
I'd love to see the floral arrangement you do for the church!
May you have a blessed Easter day. xx
I am so nervous about the garland. I am going to try my best though!!! I am going to make it tomorrow.
DeleteHow sweet to do that for Hannah's office! I will sometimes give M money and have her pick up donuts on her way to work. Everyone needs pick me up now and then.
ReplyDeleteYes, they do! That is a great idea too!!
