I have an "old to me but new to you" project to share with you. This table was a little project I did back in the spring. I loved making this. The before and after is so drastic but that is what I love most about a project like this.

Grieving...but I have hope.
Hello my precious friends. This is going to be hard post to write and I have no idea what I am going to say. I actually need to go to bed but instead I find myself sitting down to do this post and I am not sure why. I suppose that writing has always been a way for me to express myself. I have this need to put my emotions into words so that even I can understand them better. These past few weeks have been a tremendous game changer for me but I am not sure how to articulate in what ways. But I am going try.

Tinkerbell Party + DIY Ideas
I am really excited to show you Cati's beautiful birthday party from yesterday. I was pleasantly surprised how this party came together on a budget. I was forced to get creative and it turned out better than I had hoped.

Tinkerbell Party Favors
How bout how I came back to blogging and then just left again? Seriously, I have the best intentions to stay consistent but there is this thing called LIFE that keeps me adjusting my priorities and blogging always gets kicked to the curb. I am feeling like eating, clean clothes and house, driving my kids to VBS, planning and being present in my girl's life and birthday parties (instead of blogging about them) take precedence. But it's hard to balance it all. Can I get a witness?
But when school starts in September, I am thinking I will have more time. No, really I mean it. After meal planning, laundry, cleaning, shopping, homeschooling...I will get to it when I can. :)
So Ella's astronaut party came and went. Did I take pictures? Not a lot unfortunately. We had a blast though and it hurt my heart a little that my Ella turned 5. Still young but definitely not my baby anymore. Now it is two weeks later and we are planning Cati's 7th birthday with a Tinker Bell party. So I am being intentional to share as much as I can with you.

Today I just got finished with the party favors for the girls. I thought it would be cute to gift her little girlfriends with some glitter nail polish (like pixie dust!) in little burlap bags. I made them from burlap garland and I have a tutorial for that here. This time I just made the bags a bit more narrow to fit the little nail polish bottles in there.

Embellish a Birthday Candle
So I have birthdays on the brain.
My Ella turns five at the end of July and two weeks later my Cati turns 7. They used to share a party but...they are both quite different. Ella is my girl who likes all thing "boy." Last year she had a firetruck party. It's what she wanted. And my girly girl, party lovin' self can't say no because I love her more than my life and who wants to throw a party for a kid that they won't like?
So this year? An astronaut party. I actually love this idea. So we go to the party store to get ideas and she sees a number 5 candle that she wants because it is red. She is into red lately.

New Branding and Blog Makeover Plus an Overdue Explanation!!!
I am so excited to share my brand new blog to all of you!
This endeavor has been quite a process. Let me start from the beginning since I feel an explanation is in order for my lengthy hiatus. Speaking of lengthy...this post might be too.
As a lot of you know, I kind of fell off the grid for about a year and a half after falling 10 feet through my attic floor into my garage. (I know...ouch). I broke my right arm and had to have surgery. Though it was nasty break, I healed over time but it kind of rocked my world a bit. I was lucky to survive as all the doctors and paramedics said. And blogging became completely unimportant. Pouring into my home, family and my Jesus became all that mattered. Understandably, so.
