Started the Spring decorating for mom’s door, walker, and a little something for her room.

Out with the St. Patrick’s Day decorations and on to something new!!!

Starting with a clean slate!!!! Our journey begins with decorating my mom’s door area.

We started with the tree. The goal was to make it look fuller and happy! Much like a rose bush but with every kind of flower imaginable.

From there we moved to the table area and, of course, the frog.

As always, we place garland around the door. We are using a yellow rose garland around the door as well as a banner.

After all of the decorations were put into place, it was realized that the garland looks a little thin. I added some of the butterfly picks I made to the garland but it still needs more. A lot more. This means I need to purchase some more garland and maybe use some deco mesh to fill things out. But that is for another time.

Mom likes the new door decorations but she does agree that it needs more. So we will make sure that more is added.

My granddaughter Victoria did the decorations for my mom’s walker. She was not very happy with taking off the old decorations and there may or may not have been some words spoken under her breath but she managed like a true champ! And she did a terrific job of decorating my moms walker for the spring!!!

While Victoria was working on the walker, I put some rose garlands on the top of mom’s curtain to bring a little spring into her room. I used four garlands for this and it looks great. Now I know how much I need to order to make the door garland fuller.

I also purchased some new vases to use for some spring time flowers I purchased at Hobby Lobby. The vases are from Marshalls.

Everything we have done so far to decorate for spring has made my mom very happy. As soon as I have more to add, I will be doing a part 2 of decorating for her. Who knows. There may even be a part 3!!!

Carnival Vista 2021 – Precruise #10 Last minute preparations…

With time ticking away, it’s time to get things together.

The most stressful part has been getting the COVID Antigen test. Luckily, the results came back as negative for both of us!!! This means that tomorrow will be a very busy day but at least it will end up relaxing.

First stop is to Amazing Lash Studio. Need to make sure my lashes look outstanding.

Stop number 2 is to Ross in search of a belt for my husband and also some socks for him.

Stop number 3 is to Marshalls still searching for a belt for my husband.

And, of course, since I’m in the area, I will need to go to Ulta.

And one last stop at CVS for prescriptions. While there, I decided to use my $7.00 worth if coupons I decided to get a couple of things.

The rest of the afternoon will be finishing the packing and double checking each and every list known to mankind.

Finally, it’s time to relax and manicures and pedicures for my hubby and me.

Ending the night with a visit with mom. Unfortunately, her Alexa mysteriously disappeared, so Jim is trying to set up the replacement he bought. He’s not a happy camper.

I’m sure tonight will be sleepless as it usually is the night before a road trip.

Tomorrow will be a fun day so hopefully before we get on the ship, I will be able to share that blog as well
