Hey there! How are you friend?
I hope you have had a wonderful week, and are perhaps gearing up to get your DIY on this weekend.
No matter how crazy (or wonderful) the spring weather may be where you are, we can all use a little
something pretty in our day. I love flowers, real ones are of course are my favorite. But I will take a
great faux version too. I know some folks have an aversion to them, but I happen to like how easy &
low maintenance they are (I know, just dusting, but still!)
Our Japanese Maple is in full regalia, and fanning her gorgeous feathers for Spring. Around her are
bright pink Azaleas, and various mid to late spring flowers beginning to push through to the surface.
I was cleaning out a few bins of trim & craft supplies recently and came across a yard or so of a couple
different types of lace. Like most craft supply hoarders, I cannot remember why or where I found them,
and since they are flat and wide, I’m not sure where I would use them.
I began looking at my jars and decided to experiment with a little Mod Podge and lace around a few different
sized jars headed for recycling.

I have to admit up until now I haven’t spent a lot of time thinking about my bones, or bone loss. But I am turning 43 this month, and I have been thinking about ways I can incorporate more calcium into my diet. Did you know that 70% of us gals on average are calcium deficient? I have thought that I had a fairly calcium-rich diet, but reassurance that I am easily getting 100% of the daily recommended amount of calcium, plus vitamins D3 and K is what I need at this point.
I recently tried Viactiv Calcium Soft Chews, and I really liked how convenient they were. The #1 reason I don’t take my vitamins or forget to, is the giant bottles up in the cupboard. These are individually wrapped so it’s really easy to toss a couple in my purse or bag as I head out the door. And, they are available at many of the places I already shop like Walmart, Rite-Aid, CVS, Target, Walgreens and drugstore.com.
Viactiv also has a 15th Birthday Bash Giveaway! For the months of April, May, June and July between the 4th and 15th of each month you can enter to win two canisters of Viactiv Calcium Soft Chews. One for you, and one for someone you love, to build strong bones together! Fifteen winners are chosen on the 15th of each month, for a total of 60 winners, not bad! Winners will be announced on the Viactiv Facebook Page, learn more at https://www.facebook.com/viactiv and http://viactiv.com/
Welcome to Inspiration Monday!
We’re so happy you are joining us today. This week, your links are seen simultaneously on all
SIX blogs at the same time, all you need to do is link up to ONE of our sites.
I received a phone call I wasn’t expecting last night, with news no one ever wants to receive.
We have been in the process of moving my Mama closer to us, and anticipated that she might
be making the actual move in a month or so. My dear friend lives across the street from my
Mom and called me last night with news I wasn’t prepared to hear, Mom had gone to be
with the Lord.
My daughter heart hurts to see my Mom go, and my mama heart hurts for my kids and
sister who are hurting too. I want to take it from them, but I can only look to the One who
created my Mama to begin with, and has called His daughter home.
It may be a little quiet around here, we will probably be on the road soon, making plans
and spending time together as a family. I am so sad for our loss, and in shock. But in the
midst of this, someone I love very much is not struggling with significant health issues
but has been made new and whole again. I know where she is, and I know in Whose
arms she is held. Being taken far better care of than I ever could have here on Earth.
Thank you friend, thank you for your prayers & support, you are appreciated so
very much.
