Dear Lady on Social Media who Lost a Child to Fentanyl

As many of you know, I am a teacher. Last year, I decided to switch school districts to be closer to home. I applied at an elite school that everyone wants their child to be in, and to say it was quite the change is an understatement, some in good ways (hardly any fights) and others that were appalling (prejudice and entitlement).

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday: 2 Weeks in Utah

Just taking a walk?! Are you even kidding me!

My youngest and his dad spent two weeks wandering around Utah. Some places are so pretty they don't even look real. If you are headed out west, don't overlook Utah as a wonderful vacation destination, especially true if you love to be outside. I thought these photographs of their trip was outstanding! 

Side note: There are 5 national parks in Utah. Only California and Alaska have more.

$10 Amazon GC Giveaway: Jesus coming to theaters June 20th!

Disclosure: Many thanks to Deaf Missions for providing a sample of the product for this review. Opinions are 100% my own.

 

It's so interesting to see the story of Jesus as told in the Bible, on the big screen for deaf people. It is engaging to get lost in a story you already know, but are experiencing in a new way. It's an emotional story anyway, but the journey touches home more when you have to slow down and feel the story being told in sign language (with captions).

The Cat Lady Box for June has Arrived!

Disclosure: I received a sample product or a discount code to use towards the purchase of one. All opinions stated are genuine and my own.

My Cat Lady Box for June has arrived and per usual, it's chock full of cute items. This is not an affiliate link or anything like that (I don't usually do them), I just like to share it. Clearly, I'm not the only one since over 1 million of these have been shipped. 😎

Happy 12th Anniversary to Mail4Rosey

Dear Readers!

It's that time of year again where mail4rosey is fortunate enough to celebrate another milestone. Can you believe another year has gone by so quickly?? Today is our 12-year BLOGIVERSARY!

The blog is very different now than it used to be. The biggest difference is that 3 of the 4 children are grown and have kids of their own!! But upon reflection, it is true that I still care about the same things that I did when I started it, faith & family. After all these years though, and all of the things we have gone through, good (and bad, because life is never 100% easy), I appreciate those things even more. I suspect that will always be the case. The longer we live, the more we appreciate what's truly important. I think that's a good thing. 💕

Per usual, I am offering a $100 Amazon Gift Card giveaway. Thank you for being an integral part of our story. Here's to many, many more. 🤞

Good luck to all who enter. 

With heartfelt gratitude, 

Rosey

HelloHelen is the Best Discovery Set I have tried in a Long Time

HelloHelen's niche perfumes have got me excited!

Let me start by saying that I get excited about trying any new fragrance. When I know a new perfume is coming in the mail, it is not unusual for me to rearrange my whole schedule to be here for delivery (if possible). This discovery set though, from HelloHelen, has been an ever better than typical fragrance experience. The first perfume sample had me saying, oooh! and then that kept happening. Usually in a discovery set there will be one or two total that I like, IF I'm lucky. That was not the case with this set. After the 4th or 5th one in, I was saying out loud, "These are all bangers!"
