Inspiration Friday No. 94…Welcome!

Welcome to the post-Christmas Inspiration Friday! We pray that each of you had a joyous Christmas with family and friends.  Some of you may be back to work already, or maybe you are still in the middle of celebrating still and maybe a few of you are taking a well deserved vacation and a nap on the couch.  Whatever you are doing, we are honored you took a moment to stop by and see us today!

We both had a wonderful Christmas celebrating or Savior’s birth with our families! 

Vanessa and Family Christmas 2012

Heather and Family Christmas 2012

Now, we’re thinking ahead to the new year and the many projects, crafts,  recipes and inspiration we hope to share with you here  on our blog! Speaking of blogging….we want to welcome our newest sponsor of At The Picket Fence.

Our friend Melissa, of The Happier Homemaker, has started a great new blog to So You Wanna Be a Blogger? Here you can find great tips, tricks, advise and ideas on blogging and how to be the best blogger you can be! We invite you to follow her blog to keep up to date on some great blogging articles

Today’s features are from Inspiration Friday No. 93, last week we featured some amazing Christmas Inspiration, today we are featuring some other amazing projects! Enjoy!

INSPIRED ROOMS

Jeanette from Creating a Life showed us her lovely master bedroom all warmed up with red accents for winter.

Pamela of From My Front Porch to Yours shared her beautiful Powder Room Makeover. We love the ladder as a towel rack!

Amy of Grown from Scratch has us looking forward to warmer days as she shares her updated Front Porch. The grouping of white rockers is just so welcoming!

INSPIRED MAKEOVERS

Christine from The Crafty Woman shared her incredible kitchen makeover and we just love how light and bright it is and also those beautiful pops of blue!

Allison of The Golden Sycamore and her husband created this Wood Plank Wall for their nursery makeover.  They share great step by step instructions.

We adore Becky of From Generation to Generation’s Quilted Bench Makeover made from a vintage quilt and her great story about these lovely family plates.

INSPIRED CRAFTS and CREATIONS

Liz from Love Grows Wild showed us how to make this fantastic Book Page Table Runner and even though she used it as part of her beautiful Holiday decor, we could see this working all year round!

 Carissa from Carissa Miss shared a wonderfully simple tutorial for making these adorable fabric bows. Her little model was pretty darling too!

 Carolyn from Homework shared these gorgeous Cameo Candles which were lovely for the holidays but could also be incorporated into every season simply by using different colored ribbon.

 

INSPIRED RECIPES and PARTIES

Daniela from Frugal Ain’t Cheap  shared a wonderful recipe for homemade Panettone and we think this just screams warm and cozy.

These adorable “Hoot Chocolate Spoons” from Tales of a Trophy Wife might have been intended to be a sweet Christmas treat but we think that they would be welcomed by kids (or the kid at heart!) any time of the year!

Kick of a healthy new year with this Winter Berry Antioxidant Berry Smoothie from Kristin of Homespun with Love .

 

INSPIRING STORIES

We continue to be inspired by our friend Anne, of Fiona and Twig! She has been busy shooting amazing photographs and magazine features and living out her passion.  You MUST visit her to see this latest shoot. 

Jeanette from Creating a Life Now, is located in gorgeous western Colorado and she shared beautiful words and photos in a post called “Decembering”

    Furthermore, my experience comes with identifying the competitive
    advantage for the few different companies and
    crafting that advantage into a web marketing strategy to develop new
    business. Investors are there to assist the entrepreneur and to realize a make money from their investment from the entrepreneurs company.
    A well-developed business plan is a lot like your blueprint for victory.

Our son just turned TWENTY and I can hardly wrap m Our son just turned TWENTY and I can hardly wrap my head around the fact that we’ve completed two decades of parenting! I’ve had time to reflect on this season of life and shared some of my thoughts over at @club31women.

“Someday, years from now, we will watch home movies of the year 2023. And it will seem like I am peeking into the life of another family. I will have vague memories of those moments but my life will be so consumed with what is currently happening that it will seem like another lifetime. So, I embrace this season…this day…this moment. And I choose to declare that the emotional war in my heart between ‘what could have been’ and ‘what might be yet to come’ is over. I’m waving the white flag. I want my children to know that it is good and proper that they grow up and leave the nest. I want them to know that I can celebrate the passing of time rather than resist it even if there may be a few bittersweet tears that spill over from time to time.”

Head over to their devotional page to read the rest and I hope my words bring you encouragement for wherever you are on your parenting journey. 🤍
There’s nothing quite like enjoying the rewards There’s nothing quite like enjoying the rewards of your labor! The whole family pitched in to get our bark spread around the yard (I’m the master at raking it until it’s nice and even) and by the end of the day we were all done. Now we can head into summer with our big yard projects completed! 🙌🏻 Do you put in fresh bark every year?
Welcome June! I’m so glad you’re here! What’ Welcome June! I’m so glad you’re here! What’s your favorite thing about this month? Mind can be summed up in this quote…

“In early June the world of leaf and blade and flowers explodes, and every sunset is different.” John Steinbeck
“No man is entitled to the blessings of freedom “No man is entitled to the blessings of freedom unless he be vigilant in its preservation.”
General Douglas MacArthur

Grateful today and every day for those who were vigilant to the point of death in the preservation of our freedom and the principles upon which our country was founded. May we honor their sacrifice by being vigilant too. #memorialday
I’ve been on the lookout for small side tables t I’ve been on the lookout for small side tables to pit next to our outdoor couch and when I spotted these plant stands at @walmart from their @betterhomesandgardens line I knew they would be perfect…and they are!! 👏🏻 This is not a sponsored post. I’m just happily sharing this great find and why we should always be open to thinking outside of the box when it comes finding solutions for our decorating dilemmas.

Now we’re ready to head into this beautiful weekend! ☀️
What do you do when you want to use a bunch of boo What do you do when you want to use a bunch of books in your decorating but it can cost $50 or more for just ONE brand new book? Head to the secondhand bookstore of course! I’m so excited about this new look in my family room and this easy, inexpensive decorating tip I’m bringing to you for this #tiptuesday
Today feels like one of those days that is worthy Today feels like one of those days that is worthy of a chef’s kiss. Blue sky with nary a cloud in sight, perfect mid-70’s temps, a gentle breeze blowing through my hair as I walk around my yard to see the status of my flowering plants.

This morning I was running errands and the weight of hard things that are happening in the world, the culture, my own community and even in our circle of friends just felt so heavy.

But, as I was exiting a store, I passed a couple who were in their late 60’s/early 70’s and holding hands as they walked through the parking lot. I happened to glance over just as the husband lifted his wife’s hand up and planted a kiss right on it. It was a moment that reflected such love and tenderness and it was made sweeter by the fact that they weren’t spring chickens. I felt honored that I had been the one to observe and appreciate that moment.

What an incredible thing it is that as humans we are able to hold so many emotions in our souls all at once. To feel sorrow for the pain a friend is enduring, grieve the decline of a culture drifting further from the Lord, ponder how to navigate a challenging school situation, marvel at and enjoy the beauty of creation right outside my door and feel joy at getting to see a tangible example of lasting love while walking through a parking lot.

I truly believe that as we mature in our lives and in our faith, we learn to embrace the tension that comes with the collision of different emotions and recognize that they can all coexist at the same time without one taking something away from another. Simple joys make the hard stuff a bit easier and hard stuff makes us appreciate those simple joys even more.

What’s a simple joy that you are thankful for today?
Oh what an absolutely lovely weekend we had!! Here Oh what an absolutely lovely weekend we had!! Here are some highlights…

*Friday night I joined some wonderful ladies at church for a time of fellowship and yummy desserts. I made a strawberry lemon coffee cake and it was amazing if I do say so myself. ☺️ We are new-ish to this church and have just felt so warmly welcomed and folded in which has been very healing.

*Saturday was filled with getting our outdoor spaces spiffed up and my guys got our new table put together!

*Sitting outside for lunch with a yummy salad and iced tea felt like a little slice of heaven.

*Sunday we went to the iris gardens with my in-laws and then came home for naps and the most mouth watering ribs that my sweet husband had on the smoker all day.

*This glorious weekend ended with some ferocious rounds of UNO-corn (a hilarious version of UNO) and brownies my sweet daughter made for our dessert.

How was your weekend sweet friends? 🌸
I am absolutely and completely a better version of I am absolutely and completely a better version of myself when the sun is shining! Raise your hand if this is true for you too.

And, not only do I feel myself seeming to physically rise up from a slumbered state to greet the sunshine we've been longing for, I find that it seems like my house is rising up too. Every room, every nook and cranny (even though I now see dust bunnies that I missed during my cleaning on the dreary days), every leaf and flower outside...it's all coming to life and breathing fresh hope into my spirit. What a gift it is to be able to enjoy this home in all of the seasons of the year and of our lives. Now, I'm going to head outside and clean our deck and maybe there will be some time leftover for those dust bunnies!
I’m slightly obsessed with these glass dispenser I’m slightly obsessed with these glass dispensers! They come with pre-made labels for SO many different options and would make a great Mother’s Day gift! I love how they add a bit of pizzazz to my kitchen. And they go perfectly with some of my antique accessories like the little dish my mother in law gave me for salt and pepper and the tiny toothpick holder which belonged to my great grandmother. 

If you’d like the link to order them, just leave a comment with the word ‘bottles’ and I’ll send it your way. They’re even on sale right now! 🙌🏻
