I find I am inspired almost every where I look these days. Creative people and ideas are everywhere if you simply stay aware of the world around you. Although I have been rather distracted lately by 5 beautiful children, I do find that I have the opportunity to discover a treasure from time to time. (I actually see much more that I get to write about. )
A couple weeks ago, I joined my husband on a little road trip to experience his 20th high school reunion. Instead of having to stay in a hotel, we had the privilege of staying in the amazing home of one of his classmates. What a treat! His friend and classmate is much like me in that she never received a degree in decorating or design, but boy is she talented! (Now if we could just convince her of this truth! :))
She gave me permission to snap a few photos and I just couldn’t wait to share this idea with you! Just look what she did with a discount mirror…
Isn’t it a cute chalkboard! So clever! I love the whimsical shape. This arrangement is on the left side of the kitchen near the breakfast nook. What a great place to keep notes or simply greet your family with a sweet message for the day.
Thanks Jill for opening up your home and making us feel so welcome. I so enjoyed the “inspiring” weekend!

Today marks my oldest daughter’s 10th birthday. Yes you read that correctly TEN!!! I can hardly believe how quickly the time has flown by. As I reflect on the past 7 years, I am so grateful. God fulfilled my dream for a child in such a beautiful way. I look forward to watching her flourish into the amazing young lady God dreamed her to be.
Happy Birthday Sweet Girl!
