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!

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!”

What could be a better game day buffet centerpiece than a snack stadium?! It looks so much cooler than just laying your snacks out on the table in bowls or platters– boring!

With the big game day quickly approaching, I had to start working on my ultimate snack stadium asap. I borrowed this awesome football field platter from my mom. Isn’t it the perfect base for the snack stadium? It looks like a real football field!

It’s especially great when I see people slowing down and stopping to look as they walk by our house. Talk about curb appeal! One time, we even had a family ring our doorbell and ask if they could take a picture in front of it to use for their fall family portrait!
