House of Alcina

Whew. I’m tired. Gary’s work had its quarterly safety bonus, so we were treated to a fantastic steak dinner. It was amazing. The rain stopped just in time where we could enjoy a nice night out.🤩 We’re just now climbing in bed. My hip and leg is hurting pretty bad tonight. I think I’m going…

Sweaters or Hoodies? Always Sweaters Fires- Indoors or Outdoors? It’s Florida. We have 3 electric fireplaces inside and they are usually on without heat. So, outside. Boots or Sneakers? Oh, both. Candy Corn or Candy Apples? Apples Jeans or Sweatpants? Sweatpants Hair up or down? Up- messy buns all year. Pumpkin Spice or Cinnamon Tea?…

I picked up a cute umbrella stand and a new Totes umbrella at Home Goods. 🤍 The kids always throw their umbrellas on the floor so now they’ll have a place to put them. I wasn’t sure it would be heavy enough and where the water would go but it has a Soakstone at the…

I feel like Taylor Swift’s albums are for mean girls and people who think relationships are a group project. 😂 She’s basically calling out another girl for calling her boring by literally being a hateful bully. The hypocrisy and irony of her saying a person spends so much time obsessing over her, as she’s writing…

We are loving that NIN Tron Soundtrack. I love “Still Remains”.

I wouldn’t want them on my tree but I love them in a bowl on my desk. I may put a few in a bowl on my mantle.

Therapy. I absolutely love napping with this lamp on. Red lights are so soothing.

Well, I’m better. Whatever was going on with my disc and sciatic nerve has just ceased to exist. I have no idea what to think, but I am so thankful and I give all the glory to God. I kind of feel like I’ve been in a car wreck or something, but I am totally…

That was so moving. That was not a conservative movement. That was a revival. That was a Christ movement. Erika Kirk is the epitome of Grace. She is a force of love and peace, and you can feel the Holy Spirit when she peaks. Such a classy lady.

In a world full of Cardi B’s and Sexyy Reds, be an Erika Kirk.

The artwork in this Alabaster Bible Study is so lovely.🥰

I love the glass buttons and icons!

Gary and I got our new Bible Study books in. Perfect timing! I’ve been so angry about all these events. I know anger only eats at us from the inside, but I’ve wanted to scream from the rooftops about how unfair and unnecessary it all was. But God promises He will use all things for…

Today we finished up all of Norah Harper’s birthday surprises. We’re celebrating her Saturday. She asked for a pair of Heelys, a longboard and a Sephora and B&BW Gift Card. She wanted and 80’s confetti cake, which I hope will be cute bc I had a horrible time trying to order it. I also found…

My husband has been really shook up by Charlie Kirk’s death. I’ve only seen him cry a handful times in 15 years. He sobbed uncontrollably when my Mother died, and he held her hand for hours on end as she was transitioning and leaving this world. He cried many times over my Mom actually, so…

Hey friends, if you have deceased parents or family members, go check out your states treasury website and check to see if their names are listed. Sometimes it’s just a deposit on an electric bill or a phone bill. You just never know, but be prepared that it’s a long drawn out thing. They don’t…

I’m still trying to unpack my feelings about this weeks events. I’m wresting with what I’m really feeling. I think it’s fear. Fear of my children being indoctrinated. Charlie’s beliefs weren’t radical, they were biblical. He glorified God, promoted respect for women, and lived the life he preached with integrity. The only reason it looked…

I get a lot of samples from Tik Tok and Amazon and I’m not sure why bc I rarely even review them recently, but this is weird. I am literally scared to put this on my head. First off, the price is outrageous, and secondly, there aren’t very many reviews yet. The appearance really freaks…

My attempt to make sense of all the emotions I’m wrestling with.

My beautiful cousin Katie posted this. I couldn’t say it any better.

The Left’s greatest mistake was thinking they could replace God with government. They’ve pushed chaos, confusion, and lawlessness, and people are finally seeing it for what it is. And you know what’s happening? People are running back to God. They tried to cancel Him, but revival doesn’t get canceled. The more they push their godless…

I put a few fall things out today! Not as much as I wanted, but more than I probably should have considering my pain level today. No complaints though.. we had a really wonderful weekend. 🧡

I had this same sweater in High School. I mean, it’s exactly the same GAP sweater. I had to grab it. I picked up one in a small for Norah 🙂

And my personal favorite : “Thank the Universe, The universe is talking to me, the universe wants me to do this, it’s not the will of the universe, etc.” 😂😂😂

It’s a very proud moment when your Son asks you to pray for his friend that’s having a hard time. Gary immediately stopped what he was doing and we all started praying. I don’t share this to brag on us, but to say how thankful I am that Gage already knows the solution ISN’T in…

I am loving what Halara is doing! These are so cute and they look so comfy for fall. I’m all about ruffles!

I’m wide awake at 5:30 am, but hopefully not for long. These steroids have me going bananas. RLT is the most relaxing thing ever. It’s the only way I want to sleep now. So even if it’s not doing anything else, it’s helping me to rest.. I can’t sleep with the mask on, so I…

I love that barrel beans are making a comeback! As a lady with some extra weight, a BIG booty, full hips, but shorter slimmer legs … they fit me so much better than boot cut, boyfriend or relaxed fits. They taper in with my natural shape. I ordered a few pairs for winter and I…
