Valentine's Day Gift on a Budget


My Valentine's day gift to Hubby.  He can't have sweets, our trip was canceled, and I came up with this.  I purchased a small photo album, and have printed photos of him with me or just me, and I'm using scrap paper and stickers to decorate every other page.  I'll be writing personal notes on them as well.  I hope he likes it.

I love your Valentine's gift to hubby. Another economical gift is coupons like, "good for one shoulder rub," "good for one great piece of home made chocolate cake" etc. I use to have the kids make these in my daycare, not with those sayings, of course, but with appropriate ones for their ages, like picking up their toys, going to bed on time, etc.
I don't know if they worked or not for the kids, but I bet good ones would work well for adults.
Another good gift is buying or making a $1 journal from Dollar Tree, dating each page so it can be used as a calendar, and writing on the top of each page, something that you find awesome about them. Then when they turn to that page to check their appointments, to do's, etc., they will see something uplifting and encouraging.
Not doing much myself lately. Still trying to get all my energy back up and running. Seems like it got up and went to Timbuktu or something. Still, am blessed I'm feeling a bit better. Yesterday at acupuncture, therapist did front of body to try to break up congestion, and I think it helped. That stuff is really good. Trying to get the VA to approve more sessions cause Medicare doesn't cover them. :(
All kinds of weird weather crossing the US. Prayers everyone does fine with it all and has a great week.
God bless.

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger. 

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
