Our Word of the Week is Break

May 4, 2025 By Joleisa 4 Comments

As I am writing this, I am going against what I had said in that we were going to take a little break from vlogging and blogging. But then I remember that we will have all my blogs and vlogs to look back on as we grow older. So last week we were on a break and didn't do a blog post. That doesn't mean we haven't been busy. We have been, just at a slower pace. It's been really good to just relax and stress about nothing. Just this morning we were saying how lovely it is on a Sunday morning to ...

Easter is our Word of the Week

April 18, 2025 By Joleisa 7 Comments

This week we’ve been thinking a lot about Easter. Not for the reasons you might think. We were mostly thinking about a break away from routines. A welcome break from the bustle. As children, we loved the Easter holidays when we were growing up. This week I am going to share some of the traditions […]

Adjust is my Word of the Week

April 4, 2025 By Joleisa 5 Comments

March 23, 2025 By Joleisa 5 Comments

With Spring well and truly here, everything looks brighter. That includes dust and clutter too. So this week, with it being brighter and also sunnier we took advantage of the good weather to declutter and make our home feel more like Spring. It was so sunny this week that Leisa was even able to wash […]

Nothing is my Word of the Week

March 16, 2025 By Joleisa 5 Comments

My word of the week reflects tha fact that there was nothing major or significant that happened this week. I could have chosen insignificant or mundane but I chose to go with nothing. On Sunday morning we decided to invite a friend over for dinner. We had planned to make African okra soup or egusi […]
