I have been dying for an old church pew for the back porch and I finally found one, thanks to @southerngrace.co 🖤

Last month, my Leadership class had the honor of visiting the Warrior’s Walk at Fort Stewart. This walkway is dedicated to the 469 soldiers of the 3rd Infantry, Fort Stewart/Hunter Army Airfield who served and lost their lives in Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom.

We were challenged to pick just one name - say it out loud, remember it, and from time to time, pray for their families and loved ones.

This one’s for you, Captain Sara Knutson Cullen, tree #449. Thank you for your sacrifice. You’ve shown by example what it truly means to belong to the land of the free because of the brave. 💙❤️.

So I’m convinced that the ability to care for plants or having a “green thumb” must skip a generation because both of my parents are lawn and garden experts, and I just have never mastered the art. This is the first ever flower pot I have ever put together in my 28 years of life, and this is the result of months of googling and lots of texts to my dad asking what flowers would survive on my back porch. Ladies and gentleman, I present to you:
•One snake plant
•One coleus (which is a needy son of a gun already)
•6 impatiens
I mean, how hard can it be to keep these alive? They just need a little sun & water, right??
Y’all just pray...🙈🤣🙏🏼

Y’all know that saying, “I remember the days I used to pray for what I have now?” I’m not saying I specifically prayed for ferns hanging on my back porch, but a back porch in the South isn’t complete without some hanging ferns - and I do remember praying for a home one day where I could sit on my back porch and rock my babies.
.
.
It’s a beautiful day in South Georgia today, and I’m thanking God for the sunshine, the breeze, my babies, and my ferns! ☀️🪴

Took a much needed trip down to Jax today with my mom just to “get away” for the day. I needed a little retail therapy and I am SO GLAD we went because look at the start of my thrifted basket wall above our bed 😍
.
Do NOT spend big $$$ on baskets without checking thrift stores like Goodwill and Salvation Army first! The Goodwill gods were good to me today 🙌🏼

There are a lot of things still unfinished here (just ignore the unpainted trim loll) but I haven’t showed y’all my baskets!! These baskets were my mom’s. Some of them are older than me - she always kept them on our kitchen cabinets in my house growing up. Don’t ask her about them, she still cries about passing down her collection to me. Sorry, no take-backs, Mom 🤣 I’ll eventually find some plants to go in them but I’m pretty obsessed with them as they are!!

Rare sighting of this dresser & chair not covered in a week’s worth of folded laundry.

I talked about this $15 hanging frame from Amazon in my stories last night - It’s my favorite recent purchase and now I need one in all the sizes and colors!! I’ll post the link in my bio if you want it!

Hey mama, this is your sign to get your family photos scheduled.
.
I put off family pictures again and again, telling myself I’d lose some weight first and then we’d have them done. In fact, I won two separate Facebook giveaways for family sessions that I never redeemed because I knew I wouldn’t be happy with how I looked.
.
When I got pregnant with Janie, I only gained 10 pounds. As soon as I had her, I dropped 25, or 15 less than my pre-pregnancy weight. I was so excited and just knew that I’d be able to keep it off. Well, postpartum hormones and life with a newborn said otherwise 😣.
.
When we got these pictures back, I cringed. They were beautifully taken, and my sweet babies and handsome husband are ridiculously photogenic - but I couldn’t see past how I looked.
.
But then I looked harder - I saw my smile and the authenticity of it - because right here, surrounded by my favorite people on the planet, I’m the happiest I’ve ever been - and it shows.
.
I wasted so much time hiding from the camera. Don’t be like me. Schedule those family pictures. You’ll regret it if you don’t, because I sure do!

“To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow” 🌽🥕
.
A small group of good friends and I started John Maxwell’s •Change Your World• round tables last week and our challenge for the week was to focus on hope. I don’t know of a better representation of hope for the future than teaching your kids how to plant a garden, to plant a seed and patiently wait for the first little sprout to pop up, and then to finally enjoy the fruits (or veggies) of your labor.

Happy Sunday, friends! ☀️

🐰 A few mamas & I teamed up to show off our Easter baskets for our kiddos.

Jonah is always so easy to shop for - he’s not picky and is always so appreciative that it just melts my heart to hear him say, “thank you so much for my candy, mama” 🥺
This was the first year shopping for Janie girl - no candy for her just yet - but she enjoyed her other little snacks!
This year, my theme was “Something to play with, something to eat, something to wear, and something to read”
.
.
Head to my stories for a close up of my baskets + more details! Check out the other ladies in our loop & follow along to gather ideas for your Easter baskets. 🐥

❤️ 6 months ❤️

Baby girl has a bad, sniffly, cold but you would never know it by these big smiles! It’s hard to believe our sweet sugar baby is already 6 months old. She giggles & snorts when you tickle her or dance with her. She has a big personality and I say, “girl, you are BAD” probably 100 times a day 🤪 She keeps us laughing with her little smirks and those big aqua blue eyes will melt you like snow! Jonah is hands down her favorite person on the planet (the feeling is mutual for sure) and any day now, she’ll be crawling to chase after him. She’s starting to eat real food - pineapple is her favorite so far! 🍍

Happy half birthday to our little JR, we love you so big beautiful girl! 💕

Justin’s trying to cook dinner and I’m just over here arranging fake limes in a pitcher for a good photo op 🤣

Notice I said “dinner” this time and not “supper” - Why? No clue. No rhyme or reason behind it. But I did find out in my survey the other day that more of you say “dinner” so that’s an interesting fact! Tonight’s menu is steak and shrimp on the grill and I’m just over here like 🤤🤤🤤

Every day feels like Valentine’s Day when you have a home filled with as much love as we do! It’s rained like crazy here this weekend so we spent it working on a fun DIY project together (I saved it in my DIY story highlight if you want to go back and check it out) and filing our taxes 🤪
.
.
Anyone else stuck inside with kids who are stir-crazy & jacked up on Valentine’s candy?! Well played, 2021, well played 🤣
