Hi friends! Happy Wednesday. Hope you’re all having a great week so far! Excited to link up again with Joyce at From This Side of the Pond for the Wednesday Hodgepodge.

1. What’s something that reminds you of your grandmother? Tell us why. 

Tamales. For years, my Grandmother won Grand Prize at the Indio Tamale Festival for her tamales. People would wait hours in line to get her tamales because they were only available at this festival. Making the tamales was always a family affair and there were many days of talking and laughing and working together to create them. She had her own homemade sauce that made them stand out and they were so good! I will always be reminded of my Grandma when I see or eat tamales.

2. Is your life currently more ‘moonlight and roses‘ or a little more ‘every rose has it’s thorn’? Elaborate. 

Honestly, it varies. I try to be positive and there have been a lot of fun things going on in my life (birthday celebrations, family gatherings, etc) but also I think I am more prone to seeing the thorns. I really have to make a real effort to see the roses among the thorns. That has been my prayer though- to have eyes wide open to the roses and enjoy them!

3. June 23rd is National Pink Day…favorite thing you own in any shade of pink? Favorite thing found in nature in any shade of pink? Your favorite pink food or beverage? Your favorite shade of pink? 

Clothing: I actually don’t have any pink clothing. I need to change that! Nature: pink sunsets. Beverage: Mango Dragonfruit Refresher at Starbucks. Shade: rosey pink

4. Last thing that had you ‘tickled pink’? 

My birthday. My family surprised me with a birthday dinner out and then the next day my husband and I left for a quick weekend getaway. We went to the beach, ate great food, saw a movie in the theater, and just relaxed.

5. What are two or three words that describe your style. 

Comfy, cozy, and simple.

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

Have a great rest of the week, friends!
