Have I told you that I made all of the flowers for our daughter’s wedding? Like…I made each and every flower out of paper and glue with my own two hands. When Grace and Wesley got engaged, she told me they wanted a book theme for the wedding. “Mom,” she said, “I was really hoping you could…
When I was planning all of the book page flowers for my daughter’s wedding, I knew I wanted them to look real. I had a very limited experience with making paper flowers. I’d made roses, which was a start, but I wanted a variety. I poured over Pinterest, searching, “book page flowers” and “book theme wedding”. …
Isn’t April a beautiful month?! Here in Texas it’s the last chance to enjoy some cool-ish days before the sweltering heat hits and we are stuck inside with the A/C for 5 months. So I have been outside as much as possible for the past couple of weeks. I like to go out and work, as in clean…
Spring. It’s so gorgeous with all of the baby lambs and wildflowers along the highways. But there are some things I dread every year when the spring starts to….well….spring.

This week I am on a road trip with my 14 year old son. We have been looking forward to it for months….just the two of us. He has planned most of the activities and I will be following along, letting him lead. Moms, its super important to led your sons lead you whenever possible. …

I’d like to tell you how much I got done this weekend. Cleaning, putting away the last of the wedding stuff, maybe organize a few drawers….but no. That’s pretty much the opposite of what I did. It started Friday with my birthday, then another birthday on Saturday, and ended with me sitting in my chair Sunday afternoon staring at…
