Currently Hodgepodging ~ May 6, 2026

 It is the first May hodgepodge and always thankful to be linking up with Joyce for this fun post! I am also linking up with Amy below for May's currently!

1. What's something you may do this month?

I may walk outside more before the summer heat comes. I also may organize some boxes in my garage.  

2. Hola! Hodgepodge Day lands just after Cinco de Mayo... how do you feel about Mexican food? What's your favorite dish? Do you make it at home or is it a strictly dine out option? 

I do love me some Mexican food & I will eat it out or home.  If I eat out, I either get tortilla soup, fajitas, or a taco salad.  At home, I am probably just eating tacos & chips & salsa :).

3. When the children of today grow up what do you think they'll say about this time period? What do you most hope they remember? 

We were always looking at our phones :(.  I hope my greats all remember the simple joys of life, how much they are loved & supported, and mostly that they are a child of God!

4. What advice would you give a new mother? 

Sleep!  Realize that everything doesn't have to be perfect or even close to it.  Don't let comparisons creep in. Let others help, even if they do some things differently than you would do it.  Focus more on the heart, acknowledge feelings, and apologize often.

5. What's a phrase your mother often said to you? If you're a mom do you say it to your own children? 

I can't think of a saying off the top of my head that my mom said to me.  A few things I have say to my girls are:

1.  Put your own oxygen mask on first.

2.  Wear sunscreen.

3.  Never ask a woman if she is pregnant unless if you can see the head :).

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

Moving right along into Currently with Amy!

Digging – Literally or the 70s version meaning “loving”

My new home!  I am digging all of my new decor and furniture.  Nothing that is in my bedroom was in my previous master bedroom. I have a new dresser, bed, bedding, bookshelf, curtains, bench and pictures on the wall.  I have a chair that belonged to my grandmother, my nightstand that my parents had when they first got married, and a round table a friend gave me that was in my previous guest room. 

In the den, again, everything in there is new within the last few weeks or within the last 3 years.  

I am digging having an extension of my living space in my garage.  I actually have set up my home office in the garage.

I am digging being able to go on walks in a beautiful area.

Weeding– Literally or “cleaning out”

I am weeding through my clothes and boxes in my garage. I currently have a lamp section, a throw pillow section and a huge pile to try to sell on Facebook Marketplace.

Enjoying – foods, shows, books, clothing, people – whatever!

Eating/cooking at home!  I am still trying to eat from my freezer as much as a I can.

I am watching the last season of The Way Home on Netflix and I just finished the new season of Virgin River last week.

I purchased a few new clothing items from Shein recently.  It is my 2nd order from them.  I have liked what I have received, but don't think I will purchase from them on a regular basis.  I will try to share some of these on Tuesdays with Amy's fashion link up.

I enjoy my people.....my daughters, my greats, my parents and extended family, my church friends who are like family, Jenn and the rest of this blog community!

Eating/Drinking –

always frozen yogurt & sourdough bread!

Shopping for –

I recently purchased new furniture from Wayfair's recent sale- coffee table, entertainment center, bed, bar stools, & curtains.  I also purchased a new sofa since I no longer owned a sofa.

That's it for today y'all....thanks for reading and enjoy your day!
