I took a poll over on my Instagram, asking what you all want for Mother's Day! Or want to give to a Mother in your life. First of all, I do want to acknowledge that some of us may want to be mothers and haven't had the chance yet. We are aware of you. I linked to an article at the end of this post about how we as women can support and help those mothers who feel lost and unnoticed. Hopefully everyone will find this gift guide helpful in one way or another. I thought it was just fun to read what others want!!! I was cracking up at how similar SO many of the comments were. I posted your comments ... Read More
Friday Favorites starts with Mother’s Day Gift Guide
I figured I would combine my Friday Favorites with Mother's Day Gift Guide, because let's face it these are my favorite things. If you don't have a mother alive, I am sorry for that.

She spends quality time with each of the kids and makes mounds of her crepes that the kids request as soon as she ... Read More
Sentimental Mothers Day Gifts and DIY Art

Maybe because I live far away from my Mom I have to be on the ball and make sure I have time to ship something to her and my mother-in-law.

I had actually written it down for a high school assignment and saved it in my recipe book. I thought a family recipe would make a perfect piece of art! It ... Read More
Homemade Bread and my Mom
"They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad an sincere hearts." Acts 2:46 My mom has been on a mission to accomplish that exact scripture. She found a homemade bread recipe that she loved and made a goal to bake one loaf of bread a day and give it to someone. That alone shows how thoughtful, empathetic, loving and Christ-like she is. She says "nothing is better than getting a loaf of warm homemade bread." I couldn't agree with her more. Think of the last time someone made you homemade bread? I can remember one of my best friends, Rachel baking a fresh loaf of french ... Read More
