I've started thinking about Mother's Day, have you

I've started thinking about Mother's Day, have you? #ad This year I've teamed up with @joann_stores to create a custom framed photo of my mom...she's one of the kindest people I know!
Last fall she had a stroke and it's made this Mother's Day mean even more. I found this old photo of her when she was younger, and I wanted to create something special.
At Joann, I was able to pick everything from the frame to fillets, and the type of glass. This beautifully framed photo is something I will cherish forever.
If you'd like to get a custom framed photo for a special lady in your life, April 24th is the last day to order to receive it in time for Mother's Day.

It’s that time of year again…garden planning. We’ve bought all the seeds and figured out what we want this year, now we wait on the weather!
Do you have a garden and what are you planting? We are adding cauliflower and cucumbers this year. 🥒

I am counting down the days to spring! This silly Midwest weather is playing mind games with me…
Anyone else ready for some ☀️! 🙋🏼‍♀️

A year ago I was spending a LOT of time in Illinois working on 4 cabins @timberpointeoutdoorcenter … To be honest, it was hard work but So very rewarding! I realized there was so much that I didn’t share from that project.
Here’s some photos that never got shared of the largest cabin. ❤️

AD: My guest bathroom needed a little update before the holidays...so a fresh coat of paint and a new @moeninc faucet did the trick! ❤️ This bathroom works hard when we have guests, and this quick change made a HUGE impact. This Flara bathroom faucet in chrome is so beautiful. It's a classic design with a contemporary feel. I love that a simple change made such a big impact! What are you doing to get ready for the holidays? https://lnk2.io/w5kKR9b

I FINALLY got my Christmas home tour up on the blog this morning. 😅
This year I’ve taken my time and done things on my schedule…and you know what?? It’s been so freeing.
I’m less stressed and enjoying the season so much more!
I hope you all have a fabulous week and will check out my full tour on the blog. (Linked in stories.)

AD: There's more than one way to style a wreath! 😉 I love this ‘Noel’ wreath from @thebouqsco ! Its timeless design is so beautiful and the greenery stays fresher longer because it's sourced directly from the farm. Check out 3 different ways I used mine in my holiday decor and let me know which one you like best?!? #bouqspartner #thebouqsco https://lnk2.io/wxXf5Xx

This amazing fresh garland named ‘Homestead’ definitely sets the tone and adds a festive touch. The best part about Bouqs is that their products will stay fresher longer because they are sourced directly from the farm and handpicked at the optimal time. Adding in fresh greens makes my house smell amazing and sets the tone for the holidays. #bouqspartner #thebouqsco
