Helping Others

We have all had that helpless moment at some point in our lives.

During the month of June our focus is going to be on HELPING OTHERS. 

This is a project that can impact everyone in your family, young and old.

The blessing to be able to help those around us who are struggling with things like a meal to eat, food for their tables, their health, their finances, shoes for their feet are just a few examples why we are #HelpingOthers to have a better future.

If so there are a few ways you can participate:
1. Come back here on June 1st for all of the details and daily challenges. 

2. Follow the challenge on Facebook to get instant updates, encouragement and share your own success in helping others.

Save Time & Money on Your Household Shopping

I'm Blessed to be a Mom of 4 kids! They make my days happy and my heart full but can drain the shopping budget in a hurry along with making my head spin as we stand in checkout lines.

Several years ago I realized that I needed to be smarter with my energy, time and money. 

I joined an online shopping club that focuses on helping families to get the highest quality, Eco-friendly products into our homes and doing so on a budget.

5 Easy to Care for Flowers


Mothers Day is this weekend! 
And a favorite gift for me to give to the Moms on my list is flowers! Flowers are fun no matter what the occasion, but I love giving living plants that they can enjoy not only for the week but for the season and possibly even years to come. 
5 Easy to Care for Flowers
1. Iris: iris are among the most elegant -- and easy to grow -- flowers of spring. They come in a large variety of colors and sizes.
2. Peony: You can enjoy the bright-colored lush fullness of the peony flower in your outdoor landscape. These are a personal favorite and will come back year after year.
3. Salvia: Salvia plants, commonly known as Sage, are long-blooming, deer resistant and easy to care for.
4. Snowball Bush: An amazingly 'SHOWY' addition to any landscape; the Viburnum Macrocephalum, more commonly known as the 'Chinese Snowball Bush', is beautiful and easy-to-grow. The flowers emerge a striking lime-green in late spring and gradually turn to snowy-white in mid-May; they retain their green color for several weeks before turning to cream and then to white.
5. Pansy: The garden pansy is a type of large-flowered hybrid plant cultivated as a garden flower. These are annuals and work well in hanging baskets or pots.
Each of these flowers is easy to care for, has beautiful blooms and make for great gifts. 
 As Mothers Day comes, be sure to show your love to the women who mean so much to us. With a call, hug, handmade card or flower.

Creating A Peaceful Home

1 Corinthians 14:33 
 For God is not a God of confusion but of peace. 

There are moments in life when we feel chaos! Chaos in our minds, souls, families and homes.  
I try to create a home of peace for my family. With 4 kids its often an illusion in my mind Im sure but there are certain things I do that help me to create a peaceful home for our family. 

Natural Light
Nature is a direct reflection of peacefulness to me. I leave our windows open to let the natural light in giving that airy feeling.
Entrance 
As soon as you walk in our front door you are welcomed by photos of our family. I think this helps to give our kids a sense of belonging. They know they are supposed to be here, are a part of our family and are loved.
Smells
Our sense of smell is one of the best senses we have. Its been documented that our sense of smell is one of the biggest triggers to memories. I like to have Essential Oils in our diffuser that are calming and peaceful or reflect the season. My favorite oils for the season can be found HERE.
Simplicity
I find my own mind is clearer and at peace when I have simplicity in what my eyes can see. Less clutter and toys. Things in their places. Baskets are often found in our home to help keep things in their places and create uniformity. {Looking for ways to use baskets? Check out this blog post.}

My wish for you is that you find your home is a place of comfort and peace. I recently have found areas in our home are a bit chaotic. Join me in the weeks to come as I share how Ive brought peace back to our home and created a balanced environment. 

That time of Year

It's that beautiful  time of year!! 
Flower planting is happening. Peas are popping  through the soil in my garden.

Lots of babies around our place....

Including  these super cute chick's my kids adore!
And my yard is in bloom! I love this time of year when beauty surrounds us and you can feel the Temps getting warmer.

May your week be full of blessings!

Transformation Tuesday... Side Table

Happy Tuesday you all! 
Its been awhile since Ive shared a Transformation Tuesday project. This is a new piece. This side table has beautiful curves and structurally sound. Just needed some love. 
Take a look...
 
All have this piece with me on April 8th at the White Barn Treasures Spring Event! I'm so excited to get to go again!!! Be sure to like their Facebook page to see all of the happenings, times, updates etc.

Before... 
This piece was simple yet nothing really popped. 
 

 After... 
I love the definition between the two colors and I feel like the curves of the piece are much more evident.
{Paint: Annie Sloan Old Ochre and Graphite, clear wax}
