An Open Heart Message: Beautiful Grace for Mothers
Recently God showed me grace in such an amazing way, I just couldn’t keep it to myself. So I’m going to share a story with you that happened to me last week as we traveled for vacation. It’s a story about God’s grace for mothers. Grace for Mothers: A Little Background We haven’t been on a vacation since my oldest, who is turning 5 this Spring, was 10 months old! We’ve had a lot of staycations and one weekend trip to the lake. But not a full week vacation. So I was more than excited about going to the beach with my family. We decided to drive instead of fly.…

Pressed Flower Art | Beautiful Decor with A Vintage Feel
I’ve pressed flowers before. I remember doing it when I was a little girl. These memories are why I decided to do it with my girls. It’s such a simple activity that creates the most beautiful memories. It all started when I was in the back storage room trying to organize it a bit. I stumbled upon the book that we were pressing flowers in from last Summer. When I saw this I knew it was the perfect time to pull them out and create some pressed flower art to get us through the last stretch of winter. Is it me or does it always feel like winter just won’t…

An Open Heart Message: Writing the Girls a Note
Recently, I was struck with this crazy thought. Why don’t I listen and believe the words and messages I want my girls to believe about themselves? I’m always giving them encouragement that they can do and be anything. However, for some reason, I don’t always believe it’s true for myself. Until a couple of weeks ago, this had never occurred to me. Where I Learned to Write Notes I am big on quotes and little notes. I’m the one who packs your lunch and adds a note for you to find while you are eating. I learned this from my Mom. She is the queen at leaving notes everywhere. She…
