WE’RE HAVING ANOTHER BABY! ♥ Did you see my announcement last week? I have tiny yellow hearts exploding from my eyes, I’m so so so excited and thankful for a second pregnancy! What’s interesting to me is so far this pregnancy is exactly like my first. Just like with Maxwell, which we didn’t find out the… [Read More]
I’ll never forget it — we were sitting in church a couple months ago and Pastor Brad was speaking on the importance of making sure we encourage our children (specifically fathers) and how powerful simply loving on them is, verses always parenting/correcting them. He gave many examples and it was seriously soul touching to see… [Read More]
One topic in particular that seems to never bore me is on the business side of blogging and handmade shop ownership. And when I think about it, this topic goes back to the beginning roots of my blog. For this very reason I’m inspired to introduce a new series, State of the Biz: blog &… [Read More]
Hi loves! Remember when I mentioned feeling super inspired to revamp some of my content? With that inspiration comes a new blog series that starts today, “Ten things I love”.

I’ve been so inspired lately to really revamp my blog and the content found here that last night I finally purchased the Blog Life ecourse by A Beautiful Mess. I bought and completed Blog Love, their previous blog ecourse (written a few years ago) and loved it so much. I knew I would love this… [Read More]
It is May, right? I really had to do a double-take after I typed the post title. Whoooo. It seems there is so much going on, yet there is so much less going on than usual. May has been a good month for us, mainly because we did some major tweaking in April. I couldn’t… [Read More]
So, I’m going to go out on a limb and say Maxwell will not appreciate me calling him a wildflower once he’s old enough to know the word ;) but, he’s my independent, wild, “blooms where is he planted” son and I cherish him. Before Maxwell joined our family, we prayed for a baby to… [Read More]
