🎨A Sweet Little Crafty Makeover; 🍲 Top 10 Recipes Readers are Loving Right Now; 💍Bridal Shower Ideas

Published 8 days ago • 1 min read

Hello, Reader,

A few days ago, we came home to a note taped to our door: the city would be shutting off our water today from 9 am to 6 pm. (The reason? Still a mystery!) But let me tell you — that unexpected news kicked my housekeeping into high gear.

Last night around 8:30, I flew around the house — bathroom scrubbed, laundry done, dishes washed, and coffee pot prepped. And this morning? I was up early making sure everything was ready for the day without water: pitchers filled, toilets prepped, and soapy water in the sink "just in case."

Sometimes it takes losing something to remember just how much we rely on it. Today, I’m reminded of the beautiful gift of water — something I usually take for granted. Grateful hearts grow in the small moments, don’t they?
