Friday Flowers 3.26.2021
This week my Friday Flowers come to you from one of my favorite places, our family lake house. There is a gorgeous view of the lake, a wide variety of birds to enjoy, and a nice walking path for morning and afternoon strolls. The sunroom over looks the lake and is sheltered by a very large oak tree that is stunning no matter what season it is. This sunroom has been host to many game nights, delicious meals, cherished discussions, and it is a place that makes you feel at peace. It’s also where my Mom moved into the next experience. It is my first time back to the family…

Today’s flower arrangement is made with love for a dear friend who is having surgery next week.

We are all connected and each one of…

As a busy full-time working mama and now teacher to my teen daughter (homeschooling due to the pandemic) taking the time to make floral arrangements is one of the few things I do for myself. It brings me a sense of calm and peace and then satisfaction as I see them…

Setting aside time on Friday afternoon to make floral bouquets has been a weekly tradition of mine for many years – it’s a signal that the busy work & homeschooling week is coming to a close and the rejuvenation and slower pace of the weekend is near. My Mom and I would photograph our Friday bouquets and then text them to each other making the miles (~1800) between us feel inconsequential for that moment in time. Now I am sharing my bouquets with you with the hope that they bring you joy, a moment of peace in seeing such simple beauty, and the feeling that all is well despite everything…
