What Brings You Happiness?
Staying positive has never been more important. It's been almost 4 weeks since the stay-at-home ban was placed.
Finding the small things that bring us joy is essential.
Earlier this year, I made a list of 20 things to do in 2020 that are for me. I was able to check off a couple of things but most will have to wait. I shifted my focus to what things at my house bring me happiness.

I am a huge fan of Rachel Hollis. I listen to her podcasts, read her blog, and I am rereading and highlighting her book Girl, Stop Apologizing. The first time I read it I didn't really take it all in, hence the highlighting.
Ladies, you get one chance at this - literally only one chance at this life - and you have no idea when your chance might be over. You cannot waste it living only for everyone else.
Girl, Stop Apologizing by Rachel Hollis

There isn't anything much better than seeing the first bloom of Spring. Digging in the dirt and cleaning out the flower beds for me is so therapeutic.
~ Soaking Baths
A month or so ago I found a recipe book of natural products that can be used in body products. So, last week I made a milk bath concoction. Seriously, a milk bath! First, I did a little research. I found a great article that helped me be like okay maybe this isn't crazy. The bath was amazing. A little essential oil, some extra fragrance drops, and of course some powdered milk. Last night, I took it another step and added in some dried rose petals. Mama's, I felt like I was at a spa.
