Things I Love this Week+ Sharing Life

Hello beautiful people! I hope your having a great week. Over the last couple of weeks I’ve been so motivated to create a new jewelry collection. I’m going to be working with brass creating wearable art pieces that work well alone and will be embellished with beautiful beads and stones. I will be sharing the collection soon and selling more of my jewelry on this site. We’ve been getting tons of rain in Virginia but so far this week has been beautiful! There is a lot of amazing things going on, which keeps be excited and crazy.

I’ve decide to add a page to my site dedicated to activities and lifestyle of special needs teens and adults. I started a program about 5 years ago for girls with special needs. So I’m super excited to share all of the wonderful things these young ladies are doing. Also I’m going to be redecorating my home on a budget this summer.  We did some remodeling about 2 years ago but I never really redecorated. So I’m really excited to start putting  a  theme together and finding pieces that inspire me and my family.

THINGS I LOVE THIS WEEK-

1. I love reflecting on my pass weeks and events in my life. It helps me to reflect on my blessings and I actually enjoy the experience all over again. This week I’ve been reflecting on Mother’s Day. I hope you all had a wonderful Mother’s Day. In my family all the men fix dinner for the ladies and the moms. My dad came up with this excellent idea about 8 years ago. The men love it and of course we do. We use to all go out but as the family grows and we have more little ones now it’s just a more enjoyable evening at home where the kids and have space to play and relax.

The men really get into this, creating amazing dishes and desserts. To top it off, the woman are all served, the men make our plates and drinks and bring them to us. It’s really the best ever!  I’m so thankful and blessed that I get to celebrate this beautiful journey of motherhood with my mom, sister’s, aunts,and cousins. The best thing of all is that our children get to witness our joy and celebration of being mom’s.

2. So I’m very excited about my new jewelry collection coming out soon! It’s feminine, strong and eye catching. I love creating pieces that are day to evening gorgeous such as my summer 2019 summer collection-GOLD BOHEMIAN DANGLE EARRINGS , EGYPTIAN NADIA GOLD EARRING and GOLD CHAIN CRYSTAL NECKLACE . All my jewelry is handmade with love by me. 🙂

Soon I will be transferring all my jewelry to this site from my original site. www.MIAELLIOTT.CO 

3. With Fathers Day around the corner I don’t want to wait until the last minute to get the men in my life something special. I never know what to get my husband for Father’s Day, I always want to get items that are out of my budget or something I really want.  I was browsing online and found some great possibilities for the men in my family. These are a couple of great finds I think most men would love! A  gas and charcoal grill is a great way to get the summer going!  Currently  we have a charcoal grill in which my husband loves but can be a little more work.  My number one item for all the guys I’m buying for  is this handsome  Lightweight business-casual styles for summer from Nordstrom. 

4. I’m  learning a new craft call WEAVING! I’ve always been interested in weaving. I love mixing different yarns and fibers together to create something amazing! Fabric wall hangings is a type of art that just warms the home.  Abeautifulmess.com has a super easy tutorial for first time weavers. They really break down the different steps and has great visuals.

5. Well tis the season for cleaning and decorating my deck! I really should have started this task earlier but with birthday parties and graduations it’s kind of taken a back seat. But I’ve been inspired to create a beautiful outdoor living area full of lush plants. I love this outdoor space it makes you want to stay outside all day.

6. I’m loving this amazing weather we’re having! I love the hot weather. Surprisingly the older I get the more I love the heat.

7. I started praying for schools and the safety of kids all around the world. I think we/I  forget the amazing mind blowing true power of prayer. It’s so simple that we forget that we can talk to the almighty, all knowing God of the universe. And the most amazing thing about it is, he wants to talk to us. God wants to have a conversation with little old me.

8. Veggie tacos is my new go to for a quick healthy meal that the whole family loves. Tacos are super easy and it’s a meal you don’t mind eating the next day. We usually make  taco salads the next day with all the leftovers.  I found this great recipe on Showmetheyummy.com

9. My daughter earned  A’s in all of her classes so she was exempt from taking finales!!! We’re super proud of her! No finales just makes the end of the year craziness a little easier.

10. We finally found a vacation home to rent at the beach!! It was a dreadful task trying to meet everyone’s wish list and stay in the budget. My mom said pray on it and the next week we found something. Prayer works!

 

Have a joyful week!! PRAY, GIVE BACK, BE THANKFUL FOR EVERYTHING
