The sun has been shining, the flowers have started blooming, the trees are leafing out. We have had some beautiful weather and I’m enjoying these gorgeous days. Every day I have the windows open. It feels good to let in the fresh air, the sunshine streaming in the windows brightens my mood, too. These are encouraging things in my life recently. Are you ready for more encouragement? You’ll find plenty in the posts shared in our linky party every Thursday! Last wee, the most viewed post in our blog hop was How to Store a Cucumber without It Getting Mushy. Now, that is a life-changing tip!

My features this week are:
- Grandma & Me: Our Mother’s Day in Lockdown because every mother should have such a tea on Mother’s Day!
- How Social Media is Killing My Homemaking because we can all learn a lesson from the author’s insightful words (even if you feel your calling is not homemaking!)
- A Simple Life because this topic pops up in conversations with my friends all. the. time.!
And Now, for This Week’s Encouraging Hearts & Home Blog Hop!
