Beautiful. I am loving the weather in Florida right now. I am in Lakeland and having cooler weather sure helps get in the Christmas mood! We have been here for 45 years moving here from up north. The snow is pretty but I hated driving in it. I love it here! ❤️🤶🏼🎅🏼🎄
Oh my goodness! Hello neighbor! Where from the north are you from? I agree with driving in the snow-I never thought twice about in when i was a kid and now i definitely think i'd be too scared to drive in it!!
Your porch looks so good! A little tip for your cat and his accidents. Place a litter box in the corner of the porch until he gets used to using it outside. After he uses the litter box well, then slowly move it out into the lawn area. By slowly I mean a few feet a week. It will train him to go out into the grass to use the bathroom. Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas.
Thank you so much! I may have to try that! I am just puzzled because I've seen him go out in the dirt/grass before and he is also outdoors more than indoors so I might have to take him to the vet and see what's up!
Hi, I am sorry that your son had not been feeling well, and I am So Grateful that he is healed, and doing great. Prayerfully, that will not happen again, and I pray that God places the people in your lives, who will help you find out why it happened. Again, prayerfully he will not have that happen again, in Jesus' Name. Also, Congratulations on the birth of your third little bundle of joy. Also, You did a Great job adding touches of Christmas to your porch. Please take care, and Thank You for sharing this Wonderful video with us. 😊🙏🏾😊 Sincerely, Paula
Love your videos! Tell your little daughter that her pigtails were cute! I have a recipe to share for homemade hot cocoa mix. You can put it in a mason jar and add Christmas fabric on the lid with a ribbon tied around the edge. Hot Cocoa Mix * 2 cups confectioners' sugar * 1 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder * 2 ½ cups powdered milk * 2 teaspoons cornstarch * 1 teaspoon kosher salt For Serving * mini marshmallows, optional * hot water (or milk) Instructions * In a large mixing bowl, add the confectioners' sugar, cocoa powder, powdered milk, cornstarch, and salt. Whisk together to combine. * Store the mixture in an airtight container for up to a year. This will make 4½ cups of hot cocoa mix, or enough for about 18 cups of hot cocoa. Making a Cup of Hot Cocoa 1. When making a cup of hot cocoa, use about ¼ of a cup of powder per cup of hot water or milk, or adjust to taste preference. 2. Top the powder with ¼ cup of mini marshmallows if adding. 3. Pour hot liquid over the cocoa powder, stirring until the powder has dissolved. Enjoy!
RSV is scary. We’ve been in the ER twice with our son (now 2yo). The breathing treatments were helpful so stay on top of those. We also purchased a pulse oximeter which has helped immensely to monitor his oxygen levels while home. Cold weather walks and steam shower rooms were also helpful! Prayerfully, this will be short lived for you all.
So scary!! They said it was negative for RSV, negative for Flu AND Pneumonia! So that is what has us thinking allergies 😔 we do have a pulse oximeter but he refuses to keep anything on his fingers lol
I've definitely done that with dogs in the past but I've never heard of doing it with cats! I might have to try that if it happens again. He only does it sometimes, that is what makes me confused.
I love how cozy your porch looks!❤
Everything looks so beautiful! 🎄
Thank you!❤
Your porch looks very pretty and cozy 🎄 Glad your son is doing better
