happy monday, friends!
i am excited for the week ahead.
we have struggled to stay within the rhythm of home these last few weeks. i was away in austin for a girls’ weekend & right when i arrived home, luke left for a work trip. it feels so good to be back home together.
i spent the weekend cleaning, doing laundry, prepping meals, sewing & establishing a to-do list for the week ahead. it’s a busy week, but we’re home & finding our groove once more.
how do you prep for the week ahead? how do you establish that home rhythm after a couple of weeks off? please share!
wishing you all a wonderful week ahead!
love,
natalie
good morning friends!
it feels so good to be back in this space after a bit of an unexpected break. we’ve had some technical difficulties here with a computer that is on it’s very last leg. i finally purchased a new computer after months of saving & i cannot tell you how good it feels.
when i arrived home after a weekend in austin, luke surprised me with fresh bouquets around our home & little origami hearts poking out from those beautiful flowers. he knows the way to my heart- flowers & crafts!
i am a valentine’s day girl. i love a day spent being intentional about showing your love to those handful that are dear & near to the heart.
with about $10 i made two valentine’s day gifts for luke’s younger siblings. i purchased candy from target along with a handful of items from the dollar bin. so fun & easy.
i also made these pop flowers, completely inspired by my sweet friend sara. i poked the cupcake liners with the pop sticks & scrunched them up to the top. i added a bit of washi tape to keep the liners in place & added a little kraft heart with “you are loved” stamped on it. tied with baker’s twine, this makes a sweet & inexpensive happy gift.
what are some of your ideas for this fun holiday? please share!
love,
natalie
good morning, friends!
it’s our second snow day this week. yesterday morning was so beautiful on the farm with a thick layer of glittery snow covering every surface.
our friends, rachel & josh of poppy & fern, were stuck here for another day due to the snow (no complaints! we love them!) so we stepped outside in the early morning to say hello to our sweet animal friends.
this might be the first year i am not craving spring by february. i am savoring this slower pace of living that only winter & colder days can bring.
we will soon start seeds & till the ground. bulbs will begin blooming & projects will begin on the farm. spring will come soon enough.
for now, let’s celebrate this quiet season.
love,
natalie
