Thanks @debinhawaii for #5JoysFriday & for the tag 💖🌺💝.
1- we made our first batch of Easter/Springtime empanadas, and my mom made Apple Butter out of the leftover filling 😋🍏🥟🍎💝.
2- Our house is officially decorated for Easter/Springtime 🐇🧺✝️🐣🥚.
3- Spring is beginning to bloom in little surprises across our Garden 🌱🌻🌹💖.
4- Coffee...speaks for itself ☕😋.

This is political, please do not continue reading if you prefer. My goal is not to offend anyone ✌️.
Found this article earlier today.

The Stock Market took a second-day tumble. Many are holding tariffs responsible, and as true as that may be, I am hoping that this is the beginnings of consumers finally uniting!
I just hope that consumers can continue this the whole time little t holds office...and beyond.

Happy #5JoysFriday 💛 This week has been... A week. So I'll go for the tiny joys.
1+2 - Secco, Rossa & @VaniBarelyReads
3 - A friend made me vegan cocoa 😋
4 - The tiny car family is growing
5 - Valentine's day at the library 📚
@DebinHawaii
It has been 31 Days since little t has been in office...the chaos he has already caused America! And out of the 100 day countdown, we still have 69 days!
Time to fill up my coffee bean box, it is a mixture of three types of coffee. Coffee is my remedy to remain calm ☕🇺🇲🦅🇺🇸🙏.
I think I'm going to need a bigger stash of coffee beans for the remainder of the 3years+.

Thank you @BookmarkTavern for creating this fun play-card.
Something I call a #rechargeathon, which is a marathon of fantasy movies that fuel me with hope.
I had a huge reading slump in January that I posted about https://www.litsy.com/web/post/2831343
For little ones, I read comics.
🪄💫📚💝.

1- Household DIY projects...seems neverending, yet we're having too much fun tackling.
2- St. Valentine's Day. Just because I'm single, doesn't mean I skip out on a reason to eat some chocolate 😂🍫💝.
3- Found the Captain Planet DVD collection at Walmart a few months ago, and I've finally had time to watch while we work on our DIY projects. A childhood favorite 🦸♂️🌎💍💝.

Made this as a gift.
Doll-like figure with a beaded read dress fastened onto the Native Medicine Wheel.
The red dress represents the Missing & Murdered Indigenous Woman and Girls. Wanted to include a red hand, yet I always preferred the dress symbol. Both symbolize the same cause.
🙏💔❤️🩹💝.

New baby alert lol!
I have been considering a move away from Kindle and the Amazon walled garden for a while.
Then I read that the newest Kindles that came out a few months ago had quietly removed the ability to readily download books to PC, from which users are then able to port them to the eReader they choose.
More importantly, though I'm in the UK, I am sickened by the actions of 🍊 and his billionaires and voting with my feet.
My completed #WickedWords for February. Definitely the quickest I‘ve found all five.
Thank you for hosting, @AsYouWish 💙📚💙
My birthday book haul, from the weekend: I'm a happy woman! ☺️
Thank you @squirrelbrain and @TrishB for "Rivers" and "Decembers". I've had my eye on those for a while.
My #ReadMyShelves January numbers.
I‘m hoping to read many of the books, ebooks and audiobooks I already own this year. I‘m off to a good start. 🤓

One Night (Hand) Stand is an #ARC provided by the author. #RomCom
Five Broken Blades, #audiobook, I'm reading it because a friend recommended it. Incidentally, the same friend who recommended Fourth Wing and I think we really don't have the same taste in books. I'm underwhelmed.
Both first books in series.

I only read 4 books in January. I admit I wasn't really in the mood. In the beginning of January, I was sick, on the 18th I attended a funeral of a cousin that I had never met, & on the 21st it snowed. Lukey loved the snow.
My favorite book this month was The Shining 🖤
My #BookSpin & #DoubleSpin books: The Teller of Small Fortunes & You Might Be A Zombie were both dnfed. They will also be donated for #ReadOrDonate
@TheAromaofBooks @julieclair
Tonight is the anniversary of my uncle's suicide. I'm handling it better than I have in the past (it's the 14th year). I still have anxiety in certain situations. I'm also in a fibromyalgia flare and on my period to top it all off. I'm thankful for my online friends, on all my platforms, for being there. Tell your people you love them before you can't.
Thanks @debinhawaii for #5JoysFriday & for the tag 💖🌺💝. Hope you and yours are keeping safe and warm and that your power has returned.
1- Homemade deliciousness, Pizza 🍕, cookies 🍪, and meatballs 😋💝.
2- January 2025 was too chaotic, glad for February 2025 to begin...hopefully far more calmer 🙏💝.
3- sleeping better now that the Rains have been here...and there is more in the forecast! Prayers for those in the scary storms 🙏💝.

Happy #5JoysFriday 💛
