THOUGHT OF THE DAY

Sometimes when I get in a routine life becomes a little monotonous. So here is my thought of the day...

TRIALS

So you might have seen my mothers blog about what has been going on in our family. If not you can read all about it here. It's a hard thing to be going through but I believe in just being positive and we can make it through it. Tyler is so strong and he has never been one to give up.

MY FRIDAY LIST

Sometimes there is so much going on that you just need to take a little break and find some happiness. So here is a list of the little things in my life that I am loving right now.

These Pillows! So dang cute and on my list of fun projects. Side note- I told Devan I would take a break on all of the home projects for a while though ;)

I LOVE crepes! Like I used to make them ALL of the time, but then it took so much time that I haven't made them in a while. Then i found this recipe! It is so dang easy and delicious! Not many ingredients and so fast to make. Not to mention people will be impressed with your great cooking skills.

And while we are talking about recipes this one for GIANT chocolate chip cookies is quite great. Devan will text me all of the time with pictures of them asking to make them again (although we do cut out a little of the butter or they go a little flat).

This is cute. Another happy project on my list.

And yes. My FAVORITE time of year is coming. The changing leave, brisk air, boots, jackets, hot chocolate, halloween, pumpkins,... and SO much more. I could just go on forever. Devan told me the other day that every time it rains he immediately thinks of me because i am slightly obsessed.

I mean, how cute is this wall decoration? I am definitely doing this!

WERKKIN' IT

For real. I have been working so much lately. On Monday was Labor Day and I was supposed to work, but at the last minute I didn't have to. Let me tell you... it was HEAVEN! Seriously. I had NOTHING to do for the first time in it seems like forever. I started out by throwing on some sweats, taking a nap, then cleaned and felt SO good afterwards. I was actually rested when I woke up the next morning.

So anyways... on the topic of working I have started a new adventure! I opened an ETSY shop called YouAreMyHappyShop. I am so so excited to see how I can grow it eventually. I am not taking myself too seriously. Just a fun side job to let out my creative side. So far I have posted one design for a sign, but plan on adding more eventually.

Yesterday I sold my FIRST sign:) I opened my email and did a little happy dance on the spot.
So if you or anyone you know is getting married and want a welcome sign at your wedding let them know about me! I would appreciate it so much. And for the month of September when you order you can use coupon code: GRANDOPENING for 10% off!

HER NAME IS TERESA...

...And she's my mom.

Often over the past couple of years I have had many people tell me "You are just like your mother!", "You two are so much alike", and "Wow, that is something your mom would do". Guess what? I love it. My mom is my inspiration. She is so freaking strong. So Beautiful. So hard working, caring, spiritual, and more. 

... And i couldn't be happier about it.

This is a shout out to my mother. I love you. YOU can do hard things. YOU inspire so many people including me. YOU are strong. Remember that.
