A Holiday Weekend

I feel like there's been a celebration almost every week for the past few months. There have been tons of birthdays in our family, lots of baby showers, and anticipation for pretty weddings this summer. I'm still enjoying the flower bouquets from last week's baby shower, and getting ready to celebrate once again this weekend with my Dad for his 50th birthday and Chia's 1st!


We're looking forward to our long weekend together as a family. Although there will be lots of get-togethers, I still plan on sneaking in a nap or two. We'll be celebrating Lucia's birthday on the 28th, Memorial Day, although her actual first birthday is on the 30th. We're going to have our parents and siblings over for a simple and fun cookout if the weather lets us. I'm spending this morning collecting decor and scheming up the cutest little pink party I've ever imagined (on a $10 decorating budget).


I'm also putting the finishing touches on some new products that never made it to the shop this week because they sold out through Twitter. That was the easiest listing job I've ever done! I'm having so much fun making this simple beaded necklaces. Expect more soon, maybe even some in the shop in this time.


We painted our moss green walls in our living room to an off-white color yesterday. It makes such a difference in our dark home! I don't feel like I live in a dungeon anymore! Now to decorate the white walls. I've got a beautiful calendar from Rifle Paper Co. that I'm trying to turn into awesome wall art for our new space. Got any ideas?


Hope everyone has a lovely holiday weekend! Stay safe, wear sunscreen, and eat lots of watermelon!

  3. I just found your blog and how I wish you lived next door!! I feel like you are a kindred spirit. When I read your about page I could literally hear myself saying, "Yes...exactly....oh my word yeah!!" I so agree with you that the world wants us to believe that parenting turns us away from our passions and purpose rather than creates and reinforces them in us!! I am a lover of Jesus and a lover of this blog and a lover of the fact that you are saying that you can be someone who loves Him, has children and enjoys the beauty and creativity of life!! Love it! Thanks!
