Princess Valentines
Friday, January 20, 2017
I grew up a little Disney obsessed. My sisters and I knew all the movies by heart. We sang all the songs and we wore plastic tiaras and clopped around in dress up heels. Disney princesses have a special place in my heart. I know there is no shortage of Disney princess valentines out there but this is my version. My simple, imperfect tribute to each of the princesses that I love.

My Word of the Year and My Top Posts of 2016
Friday, January 6, 2017
Sometimes putting away Christmas can be depressing. Winter feels like it will last forever without Christmas to cheer it up a bit. This year I was so ready to put away my Christmas. Down went the tree, ornaments, lights, and garland and I didn't even feel sad. I'm so not a winter girl but I like January because it always feels like a fresh start, like anything can happen.
You might have seen other bloggers talk about their "word" for the new year. Basically you pick one word that describes what you want to focus on in the new year or what will inspire you. Last year I decided my word was "NEW". Why? Well we had just moved into our NEW house, had our brand NEW baby, got a NEW car, started getting to know our NEW neighbors and church members...etc. You get the idea. I've seen so many people gripe about 2016 but it was really good to my little family. I'm so excited for this year though because unlike last year when we were really just settling in and taking our first wobbly steps as new homeowners, this year I really want to make some progress. The word I've chosen for 2016 is "GROWTH". I want to grow as a mother. I want to teach and laugh and play and inspire. I want to really breathe in each precious second I get to spend with my babies. I want to grow as a wife. Be there for him, listen to him, understand him better than I ever have. I want to grow as a blogger/Etsy shop owner. If you're a blogger than you know that blogging is HARD. It is so easy to get sucked into the whirlpool of comparing yourself to those bloggers you want to be like and feeling yourself sink lower and lower until you don't even want to try anymore. This is a daily struggle for me. Sometimes my inner voice can be a real jerk and I can't tell you how many times I considered throwing in the towel. I keep going because this is what inspires me and makes me truly happy. To go totally cheesy on you... my heart is totally in-sync with Hillary Swank in P.S. I Love You when she says "My business is to create." My little blog might not be making much money or be as beautiful as the bloggers I obsessively follow but it's my own little piece of the internet and each year I get better.
