mother’s day ’20 ♡

…or as i like to call it, a regular day plus flowers. 😉

…a bouquet “from the kids,” and! and! maddalena made my silhouette for me! shrinky dink silhouettes are kind of our jam this year.

floral beauties from my mommy!! i gave her a white peony plant almost 7 years ago, probably? and they have done so well in her yard!!

these three bunnies, in a nutshell! they make existence so fun and sweet and crazy, just full of life and love.

my mom is a one-woman support system for so many of us, and i doooon’t know how she does it! i don’t even know how she survived the years where i may or may not have been more of a stubborn b-word, and i don’t mean brittany. guess that vandy psych major came in handy. 😉 also, bonus points for the photobomb, babe! makes me happy.

why yes, our kid/life collab project is quite going well these days, thank you!

a hand-drawn card and beautiful orchid from my sis-in-law and brother!!

a boy who loves shoesies…

…a girl who loves flowers…

…and a boy who loves bicycles! [which makes for a very photographically elusive phase, but who can complain!]

also, the little shrinky-dinks i miiight have made for myself! 🙂 we did these for the grandmothers, and i think they turned out so cute, if i do say so myself! yes, i will silhouette anything aaand everything. ♡

i hope everyone, mother or not, had a lovely weekend last weekend!! i actually ordered my mom a gift weeks ago that hasn’t arrived yet… haha. woops, guess where it’s shipping from? faaaar, far away. trying to do less of that, but it’s tough! i gave her something else, but i won’t say what, as it alludes to politics. 😉 and, sweetly enough, my mother gave me the gift of jojo. joanna gaines’ new cookbook, that is! i’m excited to try something from it! anything to make me almost love cooking as much as i love that gaines family, right! 😉 i miiiiight currently be using it as a flower press, which i feel would also be joanna-approved. possibly also, martha-approved. for sure stephanie approved. 🙂

[this is the shrinky kit we got! it’s definitely not made in the usa, so you know… if you find one that is, go with that. but! it did come with a lot of handy items! and! my top ahhh… another FP quaran-purchase. but the sleeves! i just melt. i have a sleeve thing. i also love this one. clearly, i’m struggling to find made made in the us options, but i’m still working on it!]
