COVID is here to stay a while longer, but when you turn 18, you turn 18 and no virus can stop you. This is how we felt about our son becoming adult this past weekend - an occasion so special that had to be marked with at least a small circle of friends and family.

Spring has definitely sprung more now that I received my FabFitFun box. This subscription box is definitely one of my favorites, if not the most favorite.

Causebox is one of my favorite subscription services, because what woman wouldn't appreciate a nice collection of items that relate to beauty, lifestyle, fitness, and all things feminine?

Here, in Southern California, it's summer almost all the time, but just almost. We too get some dreary weather with rain and wind, but I'm not complaining when I know what Texas and eastern states were just going through.

Easter egg hunts this year might be limited to personal backyards, but it doesn't mean that kids don't need Easter baskets, and preferably cool, colorful, and personalized ones. They will be needed for eggs, chocolate eggs, decorated eggs, and whatever other goodies kids might have to collect and store later in spring and summer.

MEL Science is one of those subscription boxes that take a while to arrive. I usually get an email that the box got shipped and then it takes a month to actually get here, by which time I forget about it altogether, so it's always a pleasant surprise.

I recently realized that while all my family humans have plenty of personalized stuff, our dog Marlo is lacking in that department.

GlobeIn boxes always bring comfort and warmth to my heart and home. I don't know what exactly that is - maybe the fact that everything is unique and hand made from all around the world or maybe simply because every item is heartfelt and made with love.
