If you’re going to have a motto might as well be a good positive one right? I’m all about and super happy for the mamas that can juggle it all and look so put together while mastering it. But let’s just say I’m not that mom, wife, friend or daughter…. I mean I try but I’m more of a hot mess gypsy soul type.

I have 2 kiddos and they are my world but do they still make me insane some days? yes yes they do….

I had a fun little photo shoot in mind for my daughter made a cute shirt “Pick flowers, not fights” paired it with more cuteness and hit up the local greenhouse. In my town everyone knows everyone and the owner didn’t mind a bit. He actually left me a key for after-hours.

Little did I know after our fun shoot that I would keep going back to that saying over and over! it’s so true I mean think about it at any given time picking flowers would be SO MUCH better than fighting!!

So…. I now have one of these pictures as my screen saver and try to remember to lighten up, pick my battles and think so what if the husband wants to go hunting 3 days a week, sometimes a cookie before supper is OK!, Yes, go play in the rain and love every minute I will clean up the grassy muddy mess you track in….it’s all good.

We are healthy, happy and about 60% of the time not super dysfunctional. I make my kids mind we have a routine but life is too short to be so uptight!

Do you have a motto or saying that kind of makes you stop and think hey woman chill out!? Tell me what they are they might help me too! so far this has been by far my fave!!

PICK FLOWERS NOT FIGHTS

We live in north GA and got some pretty bad after effects of IRMA and we didn’t have power for 4 days so you can only imagine how many flowers I was actually picking in my head. 

A Few other of my FAVE quotes/get me back to reality sayings.

• Do more things that make you forget to check your phone.
• BE the reason someone smiles today.
• Being happy never goes out of style.
• Don’t stop until you’re proud.
• Don’t count the days make the days count.
• She dreams more often than she sleeps.
• If it’s still in your mind it’s worth taking the risk.

Hey !! Me again & with more free inserts / dashboard / dividers… I really enjoy creating all these so I hope to deliver more and more each week. If you just discovered me I’m a 30ish lifestyle blogger from Toccoa, GA (A very tiny town you prob have never heard of). I have two tiny humans that I love so much !!! My Blog is very laid back and fun !! Check back often for new stuff !!

TIPS:

* These are always sized ready to print all you have to do is cut them out I use a cut board it’s just much easier & comes out more clean cut.

* I print most of my inserts @ home but recently started using a printing service and it’s actually cheap and they come out even better.

* These are all “personal” size inserts I do create A5 sometimes.

Please let me know if you have any printing questions I will answer quickly !!

I’m obsessed I really am ! I have tons of Air plants and Succulents right now more than I even know what to do with ! Well except enjoy them.

But my latest project for a few of my air plants turned out perfect !! A lot of my DIY projects have normally been done in some way before but I try to explain and show the most effective way possible. Steps most people would leave out I include.

On the way home from our Florida vacation we gathered some of the Spanish hanging moss off the tress at the time I had no idea for what.

Then I knew I wanted to make a Driftwood Planter. We found the wood on our property in Georgia. This was made so simple and so easy from stuff I mostly had or found.

What you need:

A log/Driftwood.
Moss
Air Plants/Succulents
Fishing String if you want to hang.
Drill to drill two holes.
Screws if you prefer to hang.

Now How to-do it:

Go hiking ha-ha no seriously go outside and find the most unique piece of wood possible.

Clean it well to remove bugs or any dirt. Just run water or use a wet wash cloth.

Mist the moss it just makes it easier to stretch and place where wanted.

I filled the ends with moss so it would look great from the side and that also helps retain some moisture. Filled the holes that were already in wood and let some falling in all holes.

Placed my air Plants in the holes and worked with them until I felt like they were secure. I didn’t want the wind to blow them away.

That’s all y’all !!!! Then I screwed to hang ! I just want people to realize anyone can do this it’s so cheap and so easy ! You will not fail at this project.

When people come up on my front porch it’s a unique piece that instantly draws the eye. And it pleases my gypsy soul.

Some say hang the Planter 1st I did not I found it easier to place everything exactly like I wanted while I had it on the table.

See below for more detailed pictures & how to maintain the planter.

Caring for the planter is simple… There is two ways soak your plants in a small dish of water for about thirty min one time a week. Or option #2 mist them twice a week pretty good while Plants are still on planter. That’s what I do I have a mist bottle I use. So far it’s worked perfect.

Please feel free to ask any questions I answer them quickly !! Hope you enjoy this as much as me.
