Learn how to make large paper flowers in 10 easy steps + create a Mother’s Day sign decoration + tips for picking the perfect card for your Mama.

Mother’s Day is always a big deal in our house!

My mama takes care of us all year long, she always puts us first and herself last. She deserves a special day that’s all about her. That’s why it’s so important to me to put a lot of thought and effort into creating a memorable day for her to enjoy every year.

We usually stay home and have brunch together on Mother’s Day but I make it extra special by designing and creating a theme for the brunch. We’ve had a lace and burlap brunch, a tea party, a fairy garden party, a butterflies & birdcages party, plus other themes. This year it’s all about the huge paper flowers!

Creepy crawly DIY Halloween spider cups are perfect for a Halloween party or for a fun Halloween craft to make with the kids!

Have you started decorating for Halloween yet?

I’m ready!

I started decorating in the middle of September (don’t judge!) because I love the holidays and I want to enjoy it for as long as possible. I think decorations in September are totally acceptable, what do you think, when do you start decorating for holidays?

This Halloween is extra special because my mom is letting me throw our annual family Halloween party at my house this year! It’s always at my mom’s house but she’s passing the torch to me this year!

Eeeek! I’m really excited but I need it to be on my mom’s level. Just check out the Easter party my mom threw last year, her parties are always the best!

It’s finally October! My favorite time of the year!

I just want to stop the clock right now and let time stand still for a little bit. I love this time of year, all of my favorite holidays are coming up and our wedding is in February. We have so much to look forward too! I get a little down the day after a major holiday because all of the fun and excitement is over so I really like to enjoy each day leading up to the event. I love the anticipation!

I love the whole season of fall and everything it brings with it. There are so many fun activities to do and some of our favorite events are coming up too! If you’re in the Tampa Bay Area, check out my list of our favorite fall activities!

I saw a meme the other day on Facebook that really made me think. It said “Autumn shows us how beautiful it is to let things go,” and the picture was a leaf falling from a tree. How true that is!

I thought about it in two ways:

Letting things (or people) go that hurt you really is better for you and your spirit in the long run
Travis and I will be starting a new life together soon and letting go of our individual single lives in order to create one family unit.

Letting something go just opens you up to more wonderful and beautiful things!

As I like to tell my mom, “alright, enough of the fortune cookie stuff!”

Summer is less than one week away!

It’s felt like summer here in Florida since April. It’s hot and humid every day and we usually get quick afternoon thunderstorms and the occasional magical sun shower.

Have you ever seen a sun shower before? It’s strange and beautiful at the same time. If rain comes from clouds, how can it be perfectly bright and sunny but it’s drizzling too? I’m sure there’s a logical explanation but I don’t want to know the answer because it’ll take away some of the magic of sun showers.

Have you seen that meme going around on Facebook of two pictures of Florida weather? The left side shows a dark and stormy thunderstorm passing through the beach, and the right side is a perfectly bright and sunny beach day that is captioned, “5 minutes later.” It’s so true. One minute it’s raining and then it’s bright and sunny and time to go back to the beach!

Long summer days at the beach are one of my favorite childhood memories. My parents always had activities planned for us but beach days were the best!
