The BIG question

Image
In our house we are navigating the waters of childhood slowly merging into adulthood with all it's challenges. We've all been there so we all know, even if you are not a parent, what I mean.  Today we sat down and had the very powerful conversation of the QUESTION, or the compass conversation if you will. This I didn't know until my 30s. But oh what a poweful tool it is, and it's never too late to apply it to ourselves and teach it to the next generation. I have talked about it many times before but it's always good to do a refresher... Taking time to ask ourselves "Who do you want to be? how does that person think? and what does that person say, do, behave, etc?" and take a big honest look at our habits and what we need to change in order to live that way.   A lot of times we are so distracted putting out fires or just our daily lives that we forget to live on purpose, we forget we have the choice. Like I was telling my daughter, and remind my...

Self Care & Mom Guilt + journaling prompts

Hi everyone, I know it has been a while since the last post, a few things happened in our life and I gave myself the time I needed and grace to fully focus (more on that later) The good news is I am back and with a powerful topic! A few weeks ago I was feeling completely depleted as a mom and wife and woman. I realized I had been putting myself last and was feeling the consequences! It made me think of how us mamas by nature we are nurturers, we want to take care of everyone and yet we forget to take care of us, or feel "guilty" doing so. But let me tell you mamas WE are the ones that keep the family going, they depend on us, our kids, home and hubbies count on us, and we can't fulfill the calling that God sent us if we feel empty, we feel stuck, we are running on fumes, and snapping at everyone in our path.

Little Surprises

Image
As many of you know I have a little flower shop and many times when I find a new distributor or new flower I try it at my house 1st. And this year my husband found this gorgeous peonies he decided to bring home, looked to me like coral sunset ones but we were not sure, so we gave them a try... Well what a surprise when this flower had become the topic of conversation and incredible fun at our house. We keep laughing so hard whenever we are around the flowers. Turns out this peonies go from bright bold strong pink and gradualy lighten as time goes by to a light apricot whiteish color when they fully open.  But not just that, they get incredibly stinky!!! They smell soooo bad it's fun to mess around with. We all smell it and make funny faces or it's a challenge to smell it "the one who looses at UNO gets to smell the flowers" or whoever is being a stinker gets to sit by the flowers... endless fun Regardless they are a show stoper though a full gorgeous arrangement! Hope...
