You know what's interesting about Pumpkins. This seasonal vegetable is a symbol of fall, but it grows over the Summer. Technically, we've got to thank the rain, sunshine, and heat for the start of the show. That being said, we still have more time before real Pumpkins are available for purchase. That doesn't mean we... Continue Reading →
Motivational Mondays with Trisha: Sea Shells
I've returned to a Summer State of Mind. We're halfway through July. As much as I'd love to shift to fall, it would be a disservice to the Summer Lovers out there. That's why this week we're drawing inspiration from sea shells. They are pretty and aren't restricted to the ocean. I've found them along... Continue Reading →

Motivational Mondays with Trisha: Palm Trees
You know what's interesting about the Summer? There's tropical themes decor all over the place. When truthfully, many prefer visiting places associated with these themes in the winter months.

Motivational Mondays with Trisha: Sunshine
You know that saying if you can't beat em, join em. That's how I'm feeling about the sun right now. It's officially summer and the heat is going to sit on us without the frequent spring showers.

It really puts into perspective how much time I spend reading throughout the day. You might be wondering what's so motivational about that. Well I'm naturally curious and... Continue Reading →
Motivational Mondays with Trisha: Less Reactive
You know, it was hard finding quotes for reactive antonyms. They were all negative, which almost made being reactive look like a virtue. The opposite of reactive is someone that is out of touch with their emotions, which then turns into toxic behavior. That's not what I wanted to promote today. Turns out, adding "less"...

Motivational Mondays with Trisha: Explore
When you hear the word explore, What's the first thought that comes to mind? Is it adventure? Traveling? Does it sound expensive or uncertain? It can be all these things, but it doesn't have to be expensive. In fact, you can make getting to know your county better a cause for exploration. I know it... Continue Reading →
Motivational Mondays with Trisha: Carnivals
We're knocking on June's door. With Memorial Day (May 27, 2024) around the corner, towns are putting up signs for local parades and carnivals. It's the time of the year where entertainment comes to you (in the U.S. at least). In the spirit of fun, I drew inspiration from carnivals. They are a summer staple.... Continue Reading →
Motivational Mondays with Trisha: Studio Ghibli
I'll admit I haven't seen every Studio Ghibli film, but I do plan to borrow the films my library has available. I just have to carve out time to enjoy them. Over the weekend, I decided I wanted to watch Howls Moving Castle by myself. Meaning all mommy request we deferred to Daddy. Why was... Continue Reading →
