Happy weekend friends! Mother’s Day is tomorrow, can you believe it, and as I type this there is currently snow falling as I look outside our dining room window. Not quite the Mother’s Day weather I was hoping for, especially since I ask for plants every year for Mother’s Day, and love to do some gardening, but thankfully it will melt fast. With it being Mother’s Day this weekend, I wanted to share 5 ways to refresh as a mom, because I think now more than ever, we all are in need of a little pampering.

Have you ever thought about owning chickens? Wondered what went in to keeping chickens, and what it was like having them? I know I haven’t shared a whole lot about our chickens here on the blog, but I’ve been receiving a lot of questions lately so I wanted to answer those questions, and maybe in the process answer a questions you’ve had as well. Full Disclaimer – I am no chicken expert, which is probably why I haven’t shared much in the past, but we have had our chickens now for four years, and have definitely learned a lot!

Hello Friends!! First of all I want to say THANK YOU for all the birthday wishes I received over the weekend! I love this community, and the amazing women that are apart of it! Since my birthday falls the weekend before mothers day, you can imagine my husband is pulling double duty, to make sure that both events are just as special! Sometimes to help him out, I will pick out a few gift ideas for the kids, because right now my hubby is still the one doing the shopping for everyone in our family 🙂 So while I was picking out some things to share with him, I thought it would be fun to round up my favorite things right now, and share a gift guide with all of you as well. You know in case your hubby could use some help too 😉

Hello friends! Today I’m sharing all the sources from the Spring chapter in my book The Gift of Gathering. This past fall, I shared all the sources from each fall gathering in the book, and while I do have a source list in the back of the book, so many of you loved having a link you could click on to find the source directly as well. A lot of my pieces I did re-use for tablescapes throughout each season, but I did also get a few new pieces for the book.

The Time I thought Throw Pillows were Silly

I know that most men would probably agree with the title of this blog post. I’m pretty sure my husband does as well. I mean, they are just throw pillows? Yet it’s not silly to want to love our homes or Love the spaces we Live in, and find comfort in them. Our homes can impact our emotional well being greatly, and offer us security with how they welcome us in after our a long hard day. So why did I used to think throw pillows were silly? Today I’m sharing the journey of how I went from wondering what the big deal was, to embracing all the power they hold in making our spaces feel just little bit more cozy.
