Quite Contrary
Don’t wait for someone to bring you flowers. Plant your own garden and decorate your own soul.
Gratefulness, Gatsby and Growing Older
“Just living is not enough. One must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower.” Hans Christian Anderson
Yesterday was my birthday. As my mother put it so gently, you are now definitely in your late twenties. Lovely. Some days I feel like I am 2…8, most days I look like I am 12. I keep waiting for this to be a blessing but perhaps that will only come with more years. Yesterday the sun was shining, the birds were chirping and for once, I was excited to celebrate my birthday. I spent the day with my best friend who surrounded me with pretty blooms, took me to see The Great Gatsby and then got us much needed springtime pedicures. It was a wonderful Birthday and I am truly grateful for everything in my life.
A Mother’s Love
The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness.
– Honoré de Balzac
I know everyone thinks they have the best mother, but I am pretty sure my mom is the greatest. I am so thankful for my mother and her constant support through all the good times and bad. From holding my hand on the first day of preschool to hugging me on mornings when I just felt sad, and every moment in between. I am blessed.
Many, Many Years Ago:
She’s a timeless beauty:
A great mother deserves the most beautiful blooms.
Emily and William
May 4, 2013
There really isn’t anything better than kicking off the wedding season with a wedding in May, on a breezy, spring day, hanging out with a fun loving couple. The day was perfect in Grand Rapids. The air was warm, the sun was shining, and the sky was scattered with fluffy clouds. This was the kind of day in May that I live for and add a wedding to the mix = happy. I loved this wedding and I especially loved Emily’s gorgeous wedding dress with the lace bodice and trumpet skirt. The fun pop of yellow with the stylish gray was executed flawlessly in all of Emily’s designs and details.
