DIY, Holidays!

Pots of Gold

3.15.2016

DIY Gold Pots for St. Patrick's Day TreatsWaiting for approaching holidays is almost as bad as waiting for an upcoming vacation. I am currently failing miserably at both. St. Patrick’s Day is in two days, I have no plans, and I will most likely sit at home drinking a green glass of wine while stuffing my face with green cookies. And that’s pending someone baking me some green cookies. Since I clearly cannot bake anything on my own. Dying the wine green is about as much effort as I can put into this party, especially after all the holiday treats I’ve been busy putting together. If you want to receive a St. Patrick’s Day treat from me, you’ll have to sign up to be my friend. I’ll start the list now. If you’re lucky enough you’ll get a coveted spot on the list. Ready, GO!

DIY Flower Pots for St. Patrick's Day TreatsWho am I kidding? I can’t even handle the three friends that I do have. I’m sorry but I’m going to have to close the list down. No more new friends for me. Besides, I spend too much time as it is making all of these little holiday treats. If I had to make any more my fingers would bleed. And since we have enough of that in our household (my husband chews his nails until they bleed), I think we can do without.

If you think you wanna take a stab at it (see what I did there?!), be my guest! I bought a three pack of ceramic flower pots at The Dollar Tree, spray painted them gold, and filled them with gold candy. I tied the tag onto a piece of candy so it would stay where I wanted it (kept sliding off the pot). Use a little “stuffing” if you’d like to add extra flair (I used gold Easter grass).

You can download the tag here, and print to whatever size you’d like.

So tell me, what are your big St. Patrick’s Day plans!?

When I became a stay at home mom, I thought it wou When I became a stay at home mom, I thought it would only be for a year at most. But as it turned out, I was lucky to be able to make it last as long as it has. What no one ever tells you though about becoming a SAHM, is that your whole identity can get wrapped up in being a mom. And for some women, that’s not a good thing. But for me, it’s a phenomenal thing. It’s an incredible time in my life that I wouldn’t trade for anything. That doesn’t mean I’m not exhausted or irritated at all, it just means I’ll take all of the negatives because the positive completely outweighs it for me. 

This should go without saying, that if you AREN’T satisfied with just being a mom, that’s okay too. For some women, having something else that is THEIRS makes them a better mom. And more power to you!

Back when I was growing up (wayyyyyyy back then), Back when I was growing up (wayyyyyyy back then), it seemed like most people grew up around their extended families. By the time I was in my twenties, it just seemed more likely that you’d be living away from your home towns, starting your own life. But what we didn’t realize was what that meant down the road, when we would start our own families. That our village wouldn’t be made of our family, but instead close friends. The only problem with that, is that most other young parents are working to support themselves, thus aren’t always available to be your village. It can be hard to ask a friend for help when you know she’s simultaneously drowning in her own house. 

So if it “takes a village,” but you’re doing it on your own, I see you. It’s HARD, and it is exhausting. But one day we will be on the other side of these days, telling our babies that it takes a village. And hopefully, we will be right down the road to help them. 🩵

After having my first daughter, I felt like I knew After having my first daughter, I felt like I knew a lot about parenting. I had it down, we had a routine and a schedule and she was pretty easy to handle. Then we had a second. And I realized that everything I THOUGHT I knew about parenting was a lie. I wasn’t a pro at “parenting,” I was a pro at parenting HER. Now I do everything I can not to laugh when a mom of only one child talks like I did. I get it, we’ve been there too, and I’m not judging. But the more kids you add in, the more experience you get as a parent. Because every personality is SO different, that the way you parent one isn’t always the same as the way you parent the others. 

Thoughts?
When I heard this audio, I instantly loved it. It’s such a crazy thing to see in nature, that God is showing us just how stressful and depleting being a new mama can be. 

So if you’re in the thick of it mama, just know you’ll get your pink back soon.

I don’t think we talk enough about how great it I don’t think we talk enough about how great it feels when your child feels safe with someone else. It may be a family member or a best friend, but it’s such a good feeling to know they have another rock in their life.
