Friday Faves ~ Free Printable Kitchen Sign

Y'all know this girl loves sweet tea. 

Love it.

Drink it daily.

Drink large amounts with way too much sugar. 

I'm ok with that. 

So this weeks Friday Faves is in honor or my favorite beverage (besides coffee) 

Print, frame in your kitchen on your porch, wherever sweet tea is served. 

Who's with me? 

Anyone else in love with the official year round beverage of the south? 

Happy Weekend Friends ~ May you and yours enjoy life this weekend! 

Pinot Picasso ~ Palmetto Area Paint Studio

Our girls bible study group was ready for a fun night out! 

So to Pinot Picasso we went! 

Carmen the owner, and our teacher for the night, was spectacular! 

Not only was she such a patient and fun teacher but she is such a gracious hostess!

The cost for the class, delicious snacks and fabulous glasses of wine was $35

you just can't beat that for a night out with the girls and something to bring home.

The painting of the night was "green fish blue fish"
Since we are all gulf coast girls this was the perfect selection for our group

The start 

The finished product

A few of the girls with our teacher, the wonderful Carmen!

Mothers Day Weekend

by: inslee

Happy Mothers Day Weekend!

As we go into this weekend my wish for you is that you are with the ones your heart loves.

It may be your children or your own momma... it might even mean someone who is like a momma to you... 

sometimes God does that... and it is beautiful. Tell Him thank you for her.

To all the momma's out there please know you are dearly loved by your Heavenly Father.

Perfect in His eyes and He is there to hold your right hand through this season of life. 

There are nights that sleep evades, more laundry than can be done in a day and many hearts that needs love, guidance and soothing and of course the never ending "why" that comes all day especially as the momma of littles... it is exhausting work but precious needed work. He has called you to this. You were perfectly chosen for those children at this time. It was all part of His grand design. He knows what you face and He meets you there with the strength the knowledge and guidance for those sweet faces each day.

To my momma, you are a blessing. You a beautiful, strong, resilient Christian woman that I admire more each day. I am so grateful for you... there are just no words. 

If your mothers day is leaving you with a heart that aches for a baby to swaddle or the relationship with your own momma is less than what you imagined.... 

Please know, He knows, He hears the desires of your heart and He meets you there.

He loves you and wants to walk through this with you. 

Lots of love sweet friends!

simple sentiments
