Mother’s Day is around the corner and today I have a very sweet handmade gift that is perfect for the special mother, grandmother, and mother-figure in your life!

Spring is almost here, and I am so excited for it! As a flower enthusiast and fan of vibrant Spring colors, I can’t wait to see all of the colorful flowers in the fields.

My kids painted our front porch as a family project last spring (aka keep-everyone-from-driving each-other-crazy Covid project). The porch was fresh and neat and perfect… until I messed it up by spray painting this wooden heart. (I did spread huge plastics all over. I have no idea how the stains got there, really.)

With Valentine’s Day around the corner I thought it would be so much fun to honor our friendships with a DIY Galentine’s Day Party. To inspire todays DIY party décor, I found these charming heart cutouts and Love Bird Messenger cutouts from Woodpeckers Crafts. I especially love how the Love Bird Messenger cutouts from Woodpeckers Crafts are the perfect addition to any tablescape as the cutouts make the cutest napkin holders!
