WELCOME TO THIS LIFE I CHERISH

I'm Elizabeth, and this my crazy, beautiful life that I cherish. 

I'm the writer behind the This Life I Cherish Blog and the owner and lead creative of Velvet Mesquite Designs. I live in West Texas with my sweet husband, Patrick, our precious baby girl and our 115 lb "lap" dog.  When I'm not helping my brides and clients create and plan the weddings or events of their dreams you can find me enjoying a big cup of coffee, changing countless diapers, hosting backyard get-togethers for close family and friends or listening to my favorite podcasts that range from everything mommy to true crime. 


I started this blog in hopes that it helps connect other young mommas, new brides and working women alike to each other, helps them feel empowered, cherished and not alone in this crazy thing we call life. 


I am always looking to learn new things, create and make new connections. I would love to connect with each of you and learn about what you cherish in life

Okay, so it's becoming a bit of a joke between me and those that interact with me daily, 9 out of 10 days I'm either wearing, carrying or using something bought off of Amazon. I love amazon. I really really do. I'd love to blame it on the pandemic and the lack of going out and shopping.. but to be honest I was an amazonaholic way before 2020 hit us upside the head. The truth is, unless I'm on vacation, I really hate shopping so the ease of browsing online for what I need, and it being delivered to my house within a few days is pure heaven to this always working momma. This isn't anything new, Amazon Prime has been around for quite some time now... but I'm always on the hunt to find new deals, steals and products that are absolutely necessary to purchase and even more necessary not to purchase in person.. who needs to go into a store in 2020, yuck!


For that, I give you this week's top 5 Amazon favorites. How basic blogger of me! **cue hair flip**





  1. Bissell Spinwave Pro : For $119 this is cheaper than monthly therapy and cleans any hard floor it comes into contact with. We have stark white tile floors. They're beautiful, but we also have a family that's in and out of the yard ALL the time. So our floors get dirty, FAST. If you have hard floors, you need this, don't ask questions, just put it in your cart and go.

  2. Levoit Air Purifier: $100.61 | We have this in our living room, our most lived in space and 'naturally, the one that has the potential to smell the worst. Its really great! We'll end up getting a second and third for our bedroom and Hayden's bedroom both for allergies and the white noise it emits.

  3. Pioneer Storage Boxes: 2 for $17 | If you haven't watched Tidying Up on Netflix, you're probably not a basic white girl. If you have, you know these storage boxes are great from everything from photos, receipts, jewelry or kids clothes.

  4. Tossware 14oz Wine Glasses: 48 for $48 | These plastic wine glasses are perfect for holiday parties. I try and use real glassware as much as possible.. you know, saving the environment and all.. but in instances where it's just not feasible, these are our best alternative. We also recommend these for all our weddings or events that aren't using full glassware at their bars.

  5. Extra Large Storage/Moving Totes: 4 pack for $38 | In 2020 between my business and my family we have moved twice, catered ample events, supplied the decor for multiple events and had over 5 storage units (don't remind me of my storage unit rent). These have been a lifesaver, and have held more weight then we thought possible on some occasions. They also store empty really well so you don't have to worry about them taking up precious room.

Make use of today's snow day and happy Amazon shopping!


xo,

Elizabeth
