This past week was one of those ‘realization’ weeks. Sometimes I think we’re all guilty of taking things for granted and not taking the time to really appreciate what we have and those in our lives. I’ll admit that I have taken things and situations for granted in the past, and it’s nice to really think about the relationships you have whether with family, friends, significant others, or colleagues.

For some reason, when I was younger I didn’t say ‘I love you’ a lot. It’s not that I didn’t love people in my life, but I just didn’t say the words. As I’ve gotten older I’ve realized life is too short to not say those words. Whether to a parent, grandparent, child, significant other, or friend, those words mean more than one can imagine. I try to make an effort to say those three little words as much as possible because I don’t ever want the loved ones in my life to not know how much they mean to me. Even though it was more of a stressful week, I still came across some gems to share with all of you. Have a great weekend.

My absolute favorite popcorn of all time from Chagrin Falls Popcorn Shop.

I love the colors in this vase, and I think it would brighten up any room.

A beautiful table from my boyfriend’s sister’s 30th birthday luncheon.

Rainbow sprinkles. Enough said.

Very neat art (all different cities, and most of which I have lived in).
