When considering a purchase, I seek advice from others. Maybe they’ve traveled that particular road before and will have a suggestion or recommendation. Like two weeks ago when I asked for recommendations for toddler locks on doors and drawers.
Thank you again, Susan Sines, for recommending the magnetic locks. I ordered the ones you mentioned, installed them with ease, and love the fact that they can be “set to off” when our grandchildren aren’t here. Truly a win-win!
After visiting Italy last fall, our daughter Kelsey returned all abuzz about Lavazza coffee, and she soon purchased a Lavazza coffee/espresso maker. She encouraged me to get one too, and while I did consider it, I finally decided I really didn’t need it. We have a Keurig, after all. UNTIL…our Keurig died!
Taking that as a sign from Heaven, I quickly purchased a Lavazza. My life will never be the same. Neither will my hips, but that’s a topic for another day.
Here are some images I’ve texted Kelsey in the early mornings thanking her for her recommendation. 😊
Have I mentioned I love coffee? And adore espresso? Any other coffee lovers out there?
I usually wake up around 5:30am-6:00am, but the other morning I woke up at 4:30 and hopped right outta bed, eager to start my day with Jesus…and a latte! The Lavazza machine makes cappuccinos too, with all that frothy foamy goodness.
I make my lattes with Kroger’s Carbmaster* milk—both the plain and vanilla flavors, so yummy and higher protein, lactose free—which has only 60 calories for 8 ounces, so it’s not a huge splurge. Although it sure feels like one.
*We started drinking Carbmaster milk years ago since Joe is diabetic.
Have you recently made a purchase after seeking recommendations? Big or small item, matters not. Would love to know. Or maybe there’s something you’re considering buying and you’d like input. If the latter, please comment below, putting the ITEM YOU’RE SEEKING RECOMMENDATIONS ABOUT IN CAPS. Then we’ll see if we can’t help each other out with some input!
A belated Happy Easter, friends. So appreciate our group and how we help and encourage each other.
Blessings on your Tuesday,
FIVE YEARS AGO
The Sea of Galilee
A memory from March 29, 2019 when my daughter Kelsey and I traveled to Israel. I’m so grateful for that trip and to have experienced that with her. And for our Savior and King Jesus who lived and died in that land—and rose to life again on the third day!
I know you join me when I say I’m still in prayer for Israel, Gaza, all the innocent Palestinians, and for the entire gut-wrenching war that continues over there. LORD of Heaven’s Armies, mercy, please, and an outpouring of your justice and righteousness.

Hey, Tammy. No purchases here that required recommends. However, on the subject of descaling . . . After killing off more than one Keurig over the years, I have learned to descale monthly. I never wait for a warning light. It’s on my calendar to do on the last day of every month. Making that change has kept my current Keurig chugging away longer than its predecessors.
Good to know. Thanks! But I’m glad I didn’t know that two weeks ago when mine died. 🙂
Amen and Amen!!

Your photos make me wish I liked coffee. ;-/
LOL What?!!! You don’t like coffee! Angie, Angie, Angie… I think this calls for some laying on of hands, my friend. So if not coffee, what’s your morning go to?
