We are back home from our wine country getaway. We had a great time and Landon had a blast at Nana & Papa’s house. Went to the fair, having sno-cones, elephant ears, going to the water park, not taking naps, watching cartoons. Basically living his best life. We got in the car to make the 3 hour drive home, I stopped for a coffee and Landon HAD TO have a muffin. However, I would only give him a PIECE of the giant muffin and not the entire thing and he proceed to absolutely lose.his.shit. 🤦🏼‍♀️😣 Spent about 30 minutes screaming at me because I wouldn’t hand over “the big muffin” instead “the small muffin” 😂 and continually said “I WANT NANA!” 😒 Finally calmed down and fell asleep...at 4pm 😬, my bad for making the trip so late in the day. Then proceeded to have another monster meltdown about eating dinner once we got home. All in all, not a great homecoming but things are going better today 😂 Tantrums aside, we are so lucky to have my parents close enough to take Landon for an extended period of time so we can get away. And isn’t that what grandparents are for? To say yes to all the things ☺️😄 @its_a_rustic_life

“You came into our lives one day,
so happy and so smart.
Our constant companion,
so loving from the start.
You brought such love and laughter
into our happy home.
With you sitting by our sides,
we never felt alone.
Now you have left us,
it’s almost more than we can bear.
The house seems so empty
without you sitting here.
Just for now we need time to mourn,
our broken hearts to mend.
Though some might say “it’s just a dog,
we know we’ve lost a faithful friend.
You were a great companion,
so loving and so true.
Our hearts will always wear
the paw prints left by you.”
Rest In Peace, sweet Mac ❤️

A little Sunday nap time craft project. A wood bead & tassel garland for some texture on the coffee table, inspired by @thebloomingnest . Also...this book, Cut Flower Garden from @floretflower is a gorgeous coffee table book! 😍

SOMEONE definitely got into the marshmallows BEFORE he had dinner ☺️ A little s’mores party with the fam bam tonight. Can summer just stay forever?!?!

As Erin @cottonstem would say...I’m getting the itch to switch 😄 Feels like it’s been forever since I’ve played with the decor in my own home! I’ve been too busy chasing a toddler and working on projects for shows. Wanted to play along with @carcabaroad #showmeyoursweetsummer but I felt like the house was stale and needed a little summer vibe, if you will, so I went shopping in my own decor stash and came up with this little cutie for the entryway. Next up, getting some screws so I can FINALLY hang those wrought iron hooks I’ve had for, oh I don’t know, 6 months now!?!? 😳😂🤦🏼‍♀️

New hair, who dis 👦🏼 The kid has got a pretty fierce side eye already (no idea where he got that attitude 😏) and getting a smile for a picture is next to impossible. Such is life with a toddler, I guess 🤷🏼‍♀️ Also...potty training starts tomorrow 😬 Please send all positive vibes my way. And, if you want to bring me coffee and cookies, I WILL NOT turn you away 😂

Time to shop!!! Farm Fresh Antique & Vintage Fair @leefarms tonight 4pm-7pmand Saturday 10am-4pm!!

2 days until Farm Fresh Antique & Vintage Fair at Lee Farms!!! 🤗 So excited to be a first time vendor at this show! Mark your calendars for this Friday & Saturday for all the chippy, vintage, Farmhouse goodness🙊

Had so much fun @lovejoyworkshop last night making this witty little sign for the powder room ☺️ This morning Jeff said “Landon is gonna see that, you know." I mean...1) he can’t read and 2) by the time he can read, he’ll have heard this word come out of my mouth about a million and a half times (lets be honest, he’s already said it more than once🤷🏼‍♀️😂😬) Thank you for a fun night, Jessica! If you’re looking for a fun night out or a great team building event, check out @lovejoyworkshop . They do all sorts of workshops all throughout the month with different themes.

Slowly but surely, this space is coming together. Just want to pick up a few more items and it will be complete...for this year anyway 😉 One thing we really wanted in our new house was a nice backyard where Landon could play freely and we could sit and enjoy our space. In our old house, the kitchen/deck was separate from the yard and the yard itself was just not very kid friendly. Now, we are finding ourselves out here most evenings enjoying a glass of wine while he plays in the yard. Gotta love summer nights ☀️🍷

SO happy I stopped into @nestingblissfullyinteriors pop-up shop today because I scored the CUTEST little lamps that I ever did see 😍😍😍 I put them in our bedroom but now I feel like they need to be in the living room for all to see! Right? 🤷🏼‍♀️

A to-do list a mile long...clean out spare bedroom, take a load of things to Goodwill, finish decorating the backyard, finish projects for upcoming show, endless amounts of clean the house-meal plan/prep-do laundry, and on and on and on. The list is never complete and things are never perfect. Practicing being okay with that as a self-proclaimed Type A perfectionist 🙋🏼‍♀️ I keep seeing this quote..."We get 18 delicious summers with our children. This is one of your 18. If that’s not perspective, I don’t know what is." 😭 way to make me cry, Instagram! So, let’s all allow things to be imperfect and enjoy things a little more (looking directly at myself here) mmmmkay? Happy Friday peeps!! 😘
