We cut our tree down every year at a local farm, and we love cutting down 2 trees. One for us (read: me) in the living room that's all white and flocked and gorgeous, and tree for the kiddos in the playroom filled with handmade ornaments from school, crafts, and colored lights.⁣
❄❄❄⁣
Each year, I curse the spray bottle while flocking, because it takes FOR. EV. ER. So this year, I got the idea to flock the tree with a paint sprayer. It's basically the same process, just a sprayer instead of a bottle. It turned out beautiful, fluffy peaks of faux snow on many branches, and a light dusting on the rest. True love!⁣

I have a ladder problem.

I also have a spool, door, and window problem. But these ladders tho... I'm making a super cute homework holder for the playroom with planter hooks, one of these ladders, and metal file pockets from @cocalicocreek (it is local to the Lancaster PA area, and is 🙌🏼 How do y'all organize HW or school papers, art paper, computer paper, workbooks and such? I love using pretty storage that jives with our style, in every room (this is in the playroom). Let's discuss organization tips: what are your favorite ideas and ways!

There is nothing like getting away with the family to find peace together in the woods, and there is nothing like coming home to coziness. Especially when you pack up a campsite in a small flood and monsoon. 🤣🤣 This mantle was yellow, and didnt white jive with our colors. I stripped it down to the original wood with my first-ever attempt at using a heat gun! I have the @wagnerspraytech Furno heat gun; it really made restoring this thing a dream.
My sweatpants are dry, and we are cozy and restored.

I cannot be the only person who hates the process of chalk-style paint. I do not like the thickness or the brush strokes (which is part of the charm of chalk-style paint, I know)... but I do love the silky smooth soft chalky texture of a finished waxed piece.

I wanted that same finish on a pair of nightstands, without losing my mind.

Challenge accepted. 😎

My friend Kristen @bayouroadphoto is moving, and she was all, "Hey! Do you want this bench on my porch?" OBVIOUSLY.

Of course I do! I mean - our garage belongs on a starter episode of American Pickers, because it is packed with: doors, windows, 2 night stands, thousands of garden supplies, a rusty mattress frame, a full workshop, picnic table, chairs, pool floats, and. Camping gear, and 2 million varieties of screws - but one more thing shall fit.

I hope our neighbors watched us carry this thing up the sidewalk, because it's falling apart, and we had to squeeze it together until we landed it on our lawn for a prayer And wash. The story of this antique crib-turned-bench is a comedy show, like most of my posts. I'll save the story for a few weeks, but you should know there is no more wood glue left in the lower 48. Keep watchin my stories, because I'll be pulling for opinions on what to finish this with this week with my @homerightps sprayer... when the glue dries. In 28 years.😳😂 I also have 3 or 4 doors and a possible buffet with my post-it note claim at her house too. Andrew doesnt Social Media (verb) so it's OK! 😂😂 #farmhousemade #farmhousedecor #farmhouseporch #salvagedfurniture #antiquefurniture #howmuchwoodglueisnecessary #homeright #outdoorliving #furniturerehab #chippypaint #antiquecrib #farmhousestyle

This is wildly off topic, but I must share 😂 We are embarking on the final days of kindergarten. I am so excited to unstructured mornings and pool days. Until then, we press on.
.
If you're called to teach, I see you. Day in, day out. Tying shoes, finding folders, running out of tissues, dried dry erase, small crayons, so much glue. Pouring from your cup, tons of love and discipline every day. I send my kids to school knowing they're being loved on so hard by their teachers. And they so are.
.
The thoughtful words you speak into your kids makes them who they are. This year was spent growing and learning all the most important lessons, that will always serve them well. I'm a believer in Kindergarten being messy, fun, full of love and life lessons, and creativity. This was a great year.
.
Speaking love into kids is not always easy, and requires lots of thought. Seeing the lengths these teachers go to do this each day, is encouraging. I mean, these teachers made memory books specific for each child, sand buckets, and noticing and speaking amazingly wonderful, empowering, uplifting and encouraging things about each and every student for awards. Ugly. Cry.
.
His K classroom embodies all the glorious things Kindergarten should. We are beyond grateful he has had such a caring, encouraging, creative, positive, and safe environment to grow in!

F I N A L L Y !!!!! Was able to pop in my favorite local antique shop @_homesteadstudios to scoop up their last two bouquets of the weekend! Local grown, from @thefarmatoxford 😍

So far, we have had a relaxing Mothers Day out in the pouring rain. My kids are doing laundry while hollering at eachother, but they inhaled their chocolate chip pancakes.... total win.

Happy Mother's Day to ALL of you ladies out there. You're either a mom, sister, daughter, or friend who loves on those around you!! #localantiquemarket #shopsmall #mothersday #eatlocalgrown #homesteadstudios #thefarmatoxford #giftideas #farmhousemade

AHHHH!!!!! These came out SO CUTE. The kids loved making them, and I can't wait to see how they look in these on their field trip to the @philadelphiazoo !! I'm so glad to have been able to get crafty with Andrew's class!

I'm working on a post to share about the screen printing process, and though it does look intimidating and a bit messy, it really is easy and is so much fun! I'd love to try some prints on wood signs, we'll see 😉😉 #screenprinting #speedballink #diy #farmhousemade #kindergarten #kidscrafts #cactus #silkscreenprinting #DIYCraft #farmhousemadecrafts
