In Honor of Our Big Win

11.13.2014

Burlap NFL Team Wreath - House DividedYes, I said “our.” When my team wins, I consider it a personal win. I mean, you take what you can get. And sometimes, a team win is a score for yourself. At least that’s what I told myself when I splurged on shopping the next day. Congratulations me!

Not only did my team win on Sunday, but I also consider this amazing gift a personal score too. My aunt sent us this beautiful housewarming gift, a Packers/Bears House Divided wreath. I know what you’re thinking. Don’t I already have a House Divided wreath that I blogged about? Yes. And while you can find those instructions here, you must know: This new wreath is SO MUCH MORE AMAZING than my old one. The old one’s history! As in Old Testament history. It’s ancient. Unless you’re not super crafty, in which case it’s perfectly perfect for you to make! See what I did there?

My aunt bought this wreath, so I can’t give you instructions. But if you think like I do…”this looks a little too difficult (even) for me,” then you’re in luck: You can buy one from My Ginger Sister’s Etsy store. Or you can just take a look at how awesome they are on their Facebook Page. They have all different styles. I think my favorite might be their holiday wreaths. Weird right? Me, liking holiday things? Phhhh…Burlap NFL Team Wreath - House DividedMaybe someday I’ll get a little more detailed and get into this burlap movement. Until then, I think I’ll stick with the easier crafts. Good thing we can just buy the difficult ones. 🙂

Why yes, I do. 🤣🤣🤣

One of my favorite things we get to give our girls One of my favorite things we get to give our girls is perspective. To see new places. To meet different people. To experience cultures outside of their own.

Not so they grow up thinking one place is “better” than another — but so they grow up curious, grateful, and grounded. And the more of the world we see, the more thankful I become for home, for the freedoms we have, and for the life we get to build together. 

Flag tees from @sweet_peas_and_sweeties - they’re selling fast so grab yours before they’re gone!
I might be the world’s worst “influencer,” because I might be the world’s worst “influencer,” because I’m here to tell you this: you do not need a whole new wardrobe for vacation.

Social media makes it feel like every trip requires new outfits, a new summer closet, a new date-night dress…but honestly? It doesn’t.

I’m willing to bet you already have plenty of great options hanging in your closet. And instead of spending a bunch of money on clothes you’ll probably only wear once, maybe it’s enough to just wear what you already love.
One day, instead of hearing little feet running th One day, instead of hearing little feet running through the house all day, I’ll be leaving voicemails hoping they call me back when they have time.

The sticky fingerprints will wash away, the car seats will come out, bedtime routines will end, and the house that once felt so loud will get quieter little by little.

It’s strange how the things that exhaust you in the moment become the very things you ache for later. 🤍
When did it become expected to spend hundreds of d When did it become expected to spend hundreds of dollars on Teacher Appreciation gifts? Don’t get me wrong, if it were in the budget you better believe it’s worth it. I am not advocating for giving them LESS, I’m just advocating for staying within your families budget. And maybe if we see more of these easy little inexpensive gifts, we can make it more acceptable to gift within budget. Because that’s what it’s all about. 

What’s that saying? It’s the thought that counts.
I’ve been seeing so many reels lately saying that I’ve been seeing so many reels lately saying that Mother’s Day is only for moms with small children. I couldn’t disagree more. To me, Mother’s Day is not just about me. It’s about the women who helped shape me, as a mother, a woman, a friend. It’s about my friends who help me be a better mother, even if they don’t have little kids themselves. It’s about my own mother, who is the biggest inspiration for me, to be a better mother myself. It’s about the many generations before me that allowed me to be a mother at all. It’s about every woman in my life that loves me and my girls as if they’re their own. That’s who I’ll be celebrating this Mother’s Day.
Listen. Shelling with my kids will always be so mu Listen. Shelling with my kids will always be so much fun. But I think we have enough of these oyster shells at this point. 🤣

What are your kids always finding for you?
There’s something rare about being fully known and There’s something rare about being fully known and still fully loved. No shrinking yourself. No editing your personality.
Just being met where you are. That kind of friendship changes you.
It’s just a little walk… It’s just a little walk…
