Hello, dear friends. Good news ~ as Elton John sings, I'm still standing. As anyone who has gone through a move will attest, moving is not for sissies. Here is a rundown of what has been happening around our nest.
The floors are finished, although a shadow of my "stain" headache remains.
Boy, that stuff stinks!
This captures the calm before the storm.
It was taken minutes before the movers arrived.
Chili was assigned patio duty.
I may want to rethink that my dish and glassware fetish.
This was the scene of the crime when the movers left.
It doesn't look that much different today.
I swear these boxes reproduce overnight!
As I shared with you, our patio is very private and quite small. Part of it needs a major reno. A lot of the space was taken by this hot tub.
The Mister and I are not hot tub people. I would need the jaws-of- life to transport me inside and out of it.
We would have included a stipulation in our offer to have the owner remove the hot tub in normal times. But we did not want to take any chances of jeopardizing the sale. So the Mister made some calls, and a spa company came and removed it.
The best part... they paid us for it.
And there she goes, compliments of hot tub eye candy.
I put Chili on a leash to ensure her safety.
It turns out she didn't need it.
Here's a peek at the front of our nest, bidding goodbye to the spa.
So today, I will continue to open boxes and distribute their contents.
I will then proceed to forget where I put everything.
We have ample cabinet space in the kitchen. The only problem is that eighty percent of it is out of reach for me.
In my next life, I want to come back with long legs.
Now on with the fun stuff.
Here are some Mother's Day Gift ideas, otherwise known as my wishlist.
For the Mom like me who carries all her stress in the neck and shoulders.
A great idea for the out-of-state Grandma who doesn't want to miss a minute of her grandchild's life.
If you sent her this darling bag full of goodies, she could have her girlfriends over and brag about her favorite child.
How about an eye-catching spritzer or watering can and a pretty plant?
So pretty!
A great gift for the patio dweller.
Fill this with flowers, and you will be Mom's favorite child.
Or fill a pretty pitcher with blooms.
Who doesn't like homemade ice cream?
We have these and love them.
Does your Mom need some more spice in her life?
Or can she use more music in her life?
You've got to keep your Mom hydrated.
Remind her that this is for water, not wine.
Does her reading life need to be upgraded?
It's waterproof!
I just finished listening to this book and loved it.
This one was very good, too.
Does your Mom enjoy some coffee with her Real Housewives?
My favorite slippers!
These are great for the Mom who is carrying too much baggage under her eyes. They are also useful for the migraines that you give her.
Is Mom looking to change her signature scent?
I use one of these twice a week before applying foundation.
They make a world of difference!
Your Mom has probably reminded you to take your Vitamin C.
Now it's time for you to turn the tables.
You know how I feel about my neck.
Not good.
This is the best neck cream that I've ever used.
I bought it for Sista because she's fortunate that I share all of my beauty secrets with her.
I use one of these to apply the neck cream.
For the Mom with dishwater hands ~ my favorite hand cream.
Want to make Mom feel like a star?
Does Mom need a little help organizing her miracle potions?
Have her brushes seen better days?
Does she hoard cute readers, like moi?
How about a 2 in one case for her specs?
Does she love the beach and/or pool?
How about a travel case for the family jewels?
I use my cleaner at least once a week.
It's great for glasses too.
How cute are these mismatched studs?!
Does she need an overnight bag or carry-on?
I have two of these bags and couldn't live without them.
They are light as a feather and are capable of fitting plenty of stuff.
For the working Mom, a great-looking laptop bag.
It's on sale too!
Also on sale.
Does Mom complain about back pain?
Give her this little beauty of a vacuum.
Is she curious about Fido's ancestry?
Until next time...
