Mother's Day Gifts - There's Still Time To Shop

Garden Angel - I love this solar garden angel with the watering can. She is on a plant that sits near my sliders and I see her all night when I look at the glass.  See would be pretty inside near a window too. In fact I might put her on my birthday wish list this year so I can have on in my kitchen window as well.

Shepherd Hooks to hang your lanterns, windchimes or plants. We had a micro burst come through our area and these shepherd hooks stayed firmly in the ground. We have ordered three sets not including the one I gave my sister-in-law for Christmas this year for her new garden obsession. Love the lantern? See the link below.

Gorgeous solar lanterns that have a vintage look. They have holders on top to be hung from shepherd posts, hooks or can be used without and placed on the ground or flat surface.

I adore the turquoise color and they cast a stunning glow with the cutout decorations in our yard.

We love looking at all the solar lights at night!

No installation necessary! You just need some sun power which they get all day.

The light lasts until the morning when the sun comes up.

Solar Powered Pogada Lamp is like a work of art for your garden. It is in the centerpiece of one of our kidney shaped garden beds and we love it. Packaged with care to ensure safe delivery. It was bigger than we expected and weighted to ensure no tipping from high winds. It is one of our favorite pieces in the yard. No wires. All sun powered! See it in the photo above at night? Beautiful! 

Journal - Gorgeous gold edge, thick journal. I love the color blue of the cover and was very surprised with the quality of the pages.

I used a pen and marker that always bleeds through that I can’t use on previous journals to test the sample page and was so happy to see it didn’t bleed.

It comes with a pretty gold pen too!

Pretty Dress for wedding or party - I love this dress. It works as a formal wear like a wedding or going to the renfaire! ANNNND it's under $40

This "Reader" tote bag is so cute! I needed a tote bag for my day to day job. Something small and light to carry my things. This canvas bag is perfect! I am an avid reader and always have a book and journal with me.

The straps feel sturdy! I love that it is black so I won’t look dirty quickly and I love the graphic! Great quality print and tote. I have used it daily for over a year and it still looks new.

My favorite products for Mother's Day or Birthday come from my own shopping ideas. These are products I have used and love. The link has an associate code linked to Maria's Space in it. If you order I might be compensated for your purchase with a commission.

LIfe Update

I have been doing so much journaling that I have failed to jump online and write here. This was always where I wrote about life. Now I pick up a pen and write all my thoughts in a book. It's not that I don't want to write here. I love going back to my posts and rereading especially when it has to do with my kids. But with two jobs I have limited home time. During the week I am out from 6:10 AM until 4:45 3 days out of the week and the other 2 days 6:10 AM until 6:45 PM. The weekends are all about sleeping past 7:30, grocery shopping, cleaning, laundry and whatever else. It goes fast. 

Right now my thoughts are consumed with my current situation at home, my kids and trying to get through my week.

I do however miss my blog and think about it daily. Times were good! Hopefully I can get back to some sort of writing here. My goal is to create books for my kids of their lives from toddler hood until now. 

Handsome and Goddess are almost done with college for now. He is taking his time getting through. There is no rush. They are both doing it online. Mostly because neither was driving out of high school. She is driving for over a year and got her license last Spring. She works and goes to college. Busy girl. He works on the weekend 10 months of the year. It's hard when you don't drive and don't live near public transportation. 

One day! I have hope he will eventually drive.

I worry about him. Being home since September 2022, doing online college and only working on the weekends. What kinds of life is that? Hopefully he finds his way and lives a fulfilled and balance life where he has friends and is happy. Right now, I worry!

Goddess has come a long way and stands up for herself. She is strong willed, extremely smart and very balanced in her life with many hobbies as well as a hard working in school as well as at work. 

Prayer and faith gets me through my day and night. Thank you Lord for always being there.
