I held my annual wreath workshop this weekend. It’s one of my favorite events to hold. Not because of what we are making, but because of the importance of the beautiful people who come.

This year hit me differently. I was moved to tears when I got home because I’m so full of gratitude for who God has brought into my life.

The room was filled with people who have poured into my oldest daughter’s life, cared for my son and our family as we walk with hearing loss and autism, help my son now at school, previous brides and their families who continue to share their lives (and children) with me, and new friends!

I often envision life as a tapestry-all the strings on the back are a mess and sometimes I wonder what I am even doing, but then there are times like this weekend, when I get a peek at the front, and I see what a truly beautiful life I’m creating.

Thank you to everyone who supports my business, but especially to everyone who supports me and my family. I love you and am so grateful!

Happy Small Business Saturday-
 
I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Thank you for continually supporting my small business. I'm so grateful for each of you! 
 
The holidays are about spending time with the ones we love, but I love spending time with people all year long.  Having coffee with friends is one of my favorite things to do. I love sharing our time and lives with one another. Sometimes I think I over-schedule myself, but if I'm honest, I believe there is never a minute wasted when we pour into others. This is some of our most important work. 
 
I truly want people to feel welcomed and loved when they are around me. This is a big part of my personality and it's why I created my book STYLING THE SEASONS & The Fall and Winter Styled Collections. Each of these products is my way of showing you how to not only design beautiful arrangements and style your table, but invite others in and love them well. 
 
I'd love to give you a discount as a thank you for supporting my small business today and all the other days. Thank you for all the referrals and purchases. You mean the world to me.

Creating community in our homes is something that I’m very passionate about. I believe opening our tables and homes is the best way to connect and love people. Great conversation happens around the table!

I also love FLOWERS! So I decided to create two new products that will allow you to bring both community and flowers together!

Introducing the Fall and Winter Styled Tablescape Tutorials with a downloadable inspiration and educational book.

BEFORE I RELEASE IT…I WANT TO GIVE IT AWAY!!

TO ENTER-
https://dashing-cloud-853.myflodesk.com/zv9xyyi15d
& TAG A FRIEND
**WINNER ANNOUNCED NOVEMBER 10th**

THE BUNDLE: What does it include:

For each season I have created 2 tutorials- (2-fall, 2-winter)

a more modern floral design with colorful table setting
&
a more traditional floral design with a gorgeous muted palette table setting

Each tutorial walks you step-by-step on how to create the arrangement-just like we were together in a workshop. I give you the recipe for each arrangement, plus best practices for care of flowers.

I explain color theory a bit, and I show you how to style your table to coordinate with the flower arrangement.

In the inspiration book, I give you floral design basics-principles and elements of design, types of flowers, touch a little on color theory and show you how to properly process your flowers.

I also break down each tablescape and give you links to all supplies and products I used.

My hope for you is that you will feel confident in your new floral design skills and begin incorporating flowers into the community you build inside your home!

I never got a chance to share our family pictures from this year so I thought I’d take a moment to introduce myself and share!

These capture our family so well- gets us!

I am a florist and floral educator, but my most important jobs are being a mom, wife and friend. I love being a florist because I have the flexibility to create beautiful things while living a beautiful life with my family.

We have spent thousands of hours on soccer fields and gyms. Watching our oldest play is so fun! She’s a freshman in college and is playing center and left back for her team. She has worked so hard in school and soccer and has done an amazing job all season. She also has an amazing relationship with her brother, and I love how the pictures show this love.

Our youngest is a full of energy (and ornery) and loves to ride his bike-we logged close to 200 miles over the summer. He also brings hours of entertainment with his singing and acting. Never a dull moment! I love the first picture so much because he’s always in motion.

My husband is our quiet strength-usually in the background giving sound advice and supporting us. He is our steady. He has a quiet sense of humor that usually only we see.

Thanks for taking the time to get a glimpse of my family. I appreciate you being here and supporting my business!

My brides are seriously the best 💛

April is Autism Awareness Month
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In January of 2019, Colten and I made a trip to Children's Hospital in Aurora to meet with a doctor who specialized in working with deaf and autistic children.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We had struggled with his behavior, but we really believed it was due to his inability to communicate, age-appropriately, because of his hearing loss.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We spent 8 hours performing tests, playing games, and talking to several doctors. I remember taking a lunch break and while trying to not cry, I watched huge snowflakes fall from the sky and hoped that whatever the outcome, I would feel peace.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The diagnosis- Autism. I was exhausted and overwhelmed -tears rolled down my cheeks as I tried to understand all of the markers they were explaining. To this day, I don't know what his markers were because I faded into my own little world as they spoke to me. Putting one foot in front of the other was the only thing that made sense to me at that point. We still take it one day at a time.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This journey has not been easy, but this little boy is a blessing to us and brings joy to so many. If you want to know more about our story, you can listen to my podcast Wait and See Podcast
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because of Autism, we have met some of the most amazing people. To show our appreciation to those that live their lives helping autistic children, I'm donating 15% of all Styling the Seasons book sales in April to Colten's school's Special Education program. They have made learning fun for Colten and we appreciate them greatly!

I had the honor of working with some of my favorite people in the industry to create something just for fun!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We wanted to create something airy and romantic for spring.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fritillaria is one of my favorite flowers this time of year. It dances! It was my inspiration for the color palette and movement in the design.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I love how everything turned out! I was even able to use two floral frogs from my grandma Gigi to create a couple of the elements. Floral frogs are a great way to be more sustainable as a florist.

Spring Time
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's finally feeling like spring this week! I don't have very good soil for growing bulbs, but my favorites are all the unique varieties of daffodils and hyacinth.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What are your favorite bulb flowers?

April is autism awareness month. We live with autism every day and have been so blessed by all of the people who have walked with us through this journey.

I am donating 15% of my book sales in April to Colten’s school’s special education program. They are amazing and make learning great for so many children on the spectrum!

If you need a great gift, now is the time to buy Styling the Seasons!

Thank you again for always supporting our family and my business ❤️

Last year at this time, I released my book Styling the Seasons. I was blown away by the response from people. I'm so grateful for all of the support!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I created this book because I wanted people to bring more community and JOY into their home. I incorporated flower arranging tips, entertaining how-to's and fun recipes for each of the seasons. It makes a perfect gift!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Mother's Day is just around the corner and I would love to create a beautiful gift box for you including my book Styling The Seasons.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have many customization options. Let's connect and celebrate your mom!
