Life Lately
Who loves beadboard? 🙋🏼♀️ 🙋🏼♀️ 🙋🏼♀️ Me! Me! Me!
We worked on a little DIY project this week that I can’t wait to tell you all about in an upcoming post. Here’s a little sneak peek…
We went downtown to a little coffee shop for a pastry and a cup of coffee one morning. While they were brewing my coffee, I had the best time looking all around. The entire shop is decorated in antiques! Right now, they are only open for “to-go” orders, but when they open fully, I can’t wait to go back and enjoy my coffee inside and take in the decor even more.
The weather is slowly turning nicer. The horses are back in the pasture, and we have hit & miss days where it’s warm enough to sit outside in the sun and enjoy the view.
We brought home 18 bags of organic soil to top off the garden. I’m so ready to dig in and get my plants going! How about you?
We’ve been doing some long-range planning. After so many cancelled trips in the last 2 years, and staying so close to home this past year, the travel bug is biting me hard. Can you relate? We didn’t go anywhere for Spring Break (other than our short weekend getaway to antique shop), because we didn’t feel like the time was quite right yet, but we’ve been scheming and planning and dreaming, and we now have 4 trips solidly on the books for the future, when things have settled more, and 2 more trips in the works. Making up for lost time…. 😂 🤣
In Case You Missed It…
I made some Chocolate Chip Espresso Scones. If you like coffee and chocolate, these are for you. ☕️ 🍫
I participated in another fun Pinterest Challenge, and made this cute little birdhouse as part of my centerpiece.
I was part of a Spring Home Tour with several other bloggers, and we shared glimpses of our homes decorated for spring and Easter. 🐰 🌷🐥🌿
The Weekly Features!
You guys, I’m over-the-moon excited to be able to host a “normal-ish” Easter dinner at our home this year with family. Almost all of us in our family bubble have now qualifed for, and been vaccinated, making me feel safe in gathering 10 of us around the table again. I can’t tell you how much I’ve missed this. As a result, I am loving all the beautiful tablescapes y’all linked up this week as I work on creating a plan for my own table setting.

I can’t wait to see this week’s wonderfu inspiration! Let’s link up!
Thanks for hosting. So excited about your trips. We just bought plane tickets for Denver for this summer. Our first real vacation in almost 4 years! We have spent the last two years along planning and paying off our daughter’s wedding that then got delayed last year. We deserve to celebrate our 30th Anniversary this summer! Have a good week.
Thank you for hosting Niky!
So many fun links to dive into this week, Niky! I love all the features you chose and I can’t wait to hear all about your trips this year. Thanks so much for hosting. I hope your week is a special one, CoCo
Thank you so much for a great party Niky!!
That coffee shop looks so very cool. I would love to visit it. I am getting old and did I ask you if you were near Oelwein?? Anyway, that view is so very peaceful.
Thanks for hosting and I hope that you have a wonderful week.
Hi Patrick,
We live about 3 hours south of Oelwein. Do you know someone there?
That is where my family is from. I am the only one born here. My parents and everyone else was born there. My parents moved out here in the early 60’s.
Oh, wow. So you have a little “Iowa” in you! 🙂
Congrats on the vax! It is a feeling of relief that I didn’t expect until it actually happened. So excited for you all to be able to gather again. Thanks for hosting!
Nicky, love the features! Thanks for hosting us. Glad you are vaccinated and getting back into life. I feel the same after our vaccinations. Happy Easter.
Thank you for hosting each week! I appreciate the time it takes for you to do so and then to visit all the links to choose features for the following week……
Stay safe, healthy and happy!!
Hugs,
Debbie
Thanks for hosting, Niky!! Have a great week!
That little coffee shop is just adorable. Love all the kitchen gadgets on the wall! I think I missed last week, so I missed all the fun. Thanks so much for hosting, I’m glad the warmer weather is showing up for you all!
Wow Niky you’ve been busy! I can’t wait to see your beadboard, and your travel photos are so enticing. Thanks for hosting this great party – diving in to all the features and links now. Happy Sunday!

Looks like you are getting geared up for the spring planting season, Niky. Just love this time of year when we can get our hands in some soil!
Thanks for the link party, sweet girl 🙂
Thanks so much for hosting Niki! Great features and I can’t wait to check it all out. We are planning our trips right now. Our second vaccines are scheduled for April 8th so traveling in May is doable! Have a great week.
