Oliver loves his afternoon walks. A kid at the park just told me he looks like Tramp from 'Lady and the Tramp' hahahaha

One of my favorite plants that my mum bought me for my house in California was a birds of paradise. Unfortunately, it grew too big for me to fit into my car for the drive to Florida (see bottom pics), so I just bought a new one for her house. The only pot I had here is too small so I'm going to repot it into the original pot when my stuff is finally shipped from California. #birdsofparadise #birdsofparadiseplant

Writing in the backyard today with Oliver. He loves having a big backyard to chill in. My vision board for this yard features a pool and a cute she-shed. Well, the vision board in my mind, I need to make a real one! That sounds like a fun project. Has anyone made a visiom board before? Any tips? #amwriting #yard #visionboard

My amazing friend @lizling send me a package with some awesome plants last week and I finally got two small stands and some pots to house those plants and the ones I brought with me from California, in the lanai. At some point I want to bring some of the plants into the house, but the best light seems to be here at the back! #plants #plantshelfie #plantshelf #begonia #monstera #figtree

A couple of people asked me to share some of my mum's artwork and bags. These are two bags that she made by hand and yes that is a real hide. My mum was such a talented artist and handbag designer. She had a real eye for fashion and design and she would spend hours and hours to get every single stitch perfect. Unlike me, I'm the sort of sewer that's okay with imperfection, haha. My mum would always make me go back and fix stitches if they were out of line. Even for the tote bags she made for me to giveaway and sell. She always made sure they were perfect because they were a reflection of the discipline and work you put into each item. I try to remind myself each day to do everything to the best of my ability and to not put anything out that represnts me in a sloppy manner. Though, I will never have her fashion sense and I've defintely gone out in my pajamas! 🤣 Oliver and I have defintely competed for most shaggy looking! I miss you, mum! I think about you every hour of the day! 🥰

It's the start of a new week and I'm trying to remain positive, grateful, thankful, and to get back onto a schedule. I'm so grateful to my friend, Thao, who drove all the way from Texas with her family to come to my mum's funeral and then the day after put together a desk and chair I'd ordered for my room (that I had no energy or will to put together). All I need is to figure out a piece of art for the wall! (Oliver is sleeping on the rug behind me). Anyway, I'm back to work this week and hopefully I feel inspired to write.

I keep having dreams of my mum. I see her walking down the street towards me and I get excited and start hurrying towards her and then I reach her and it's someone else and then I wake up. I have never felt an emptiness like this before. I keep finding myself making decisions based on what my mum would like or want and then realize.... :(
