Lilla Rose Giveaway!

The relationship between women and their hair is a complex one, isn’t it?

Take a little six year old girl we happen to know for example.

When she was around 4 years old, she told her mother that she wanted to have ‘squiggly’ hair. Long, squiggly hair to be exact. It took Vanessa a moment to realize that ‘squiggly’ meant curly.

Now, it was around this same time that her mom was just feeling thankful that her sweet girl actually HAD hair considering how long it took for it to grow in and how wispy and baby-soft it was…and still is! But in her little 4 year old world, long, squiggly hair was the ultimate goal!

Vanessa didn’t have the heart to tell her that the ‘squiggly’ part might just not ever happen without the assistance of a curling iron because…well…we all have those ‘perfect hair’ dreams, don’t we? Even as grown women we still look longingly at that friend who knows how to get her pony-tail to look just right or how to wear a bun that looks both messy and beautiful at the same time.

But, while we don’t get to choose our hair type, we do get to choose our accessories! And the aforementioned little girl was very, very happy to sit with her mommy and look through all of the beautiful options for dressing up her hair with Lilla Rose products.

And it took her all of half a minute to spot the perfect one…because she is obsessed with kitties these days.

What was really fun too was that as she was looking through all of the Lilla Rose products she was telling her mom which ones she thought her friends would like based on their personalities and interests. It got us thinking about what perfect birthday gifts or even special party favors they would make!

The possibilities really are endless

We think the moral of the story here today is that whether you have straight hair or ‘squiggly’ hair, thick hair or thin hair, light hair or dark hair or somewhere in between hair, a little extra ‘bling’ never hurts….right? 😉

Best of luck and thanks so much for meeting us at the Fence today,

    Hi, I’m absolutely in love with these! I’ve seen them on Facebook before and was so glad to see them again this morning. They are lovely. I have thick hair and know that one of them would look especially good in my hair and hold very well. I hope to win one, along with several other women Im sure. I will save your site for future ordering. The cat one is super cute!

No matter where you lay your head at night, you can begin right now to create an environment of peace. Your home doesn’t need to be perfect to make this happen. In fact, perfection is like kryptonite to peace. Believe me, I learned this the hard way!What is one thing you can do today to make your home feel more peaceful?What is one piece of advice you can give to someone who is wanting their home to feel more peaceful?
It’s time again for Tip Tuesday! Would you belie It’s time again for Tip Tuesday! Would you believe that a few years ago I found a sock in our pantry? Yes, a sock. Just there on the shelf next to the cereal. But did it stress me out? Nope! We got a good laugh out of it especially after it was claimed by its owner (my teenage son) and it was a reminder to me of why the daily mayhem of life doesn’t overwhelm me because I’ve already established areas in my home that remain clutter free and offer me a visual exhale. #tiptuesday
Yesterday on the way home from school I had the ra Yesterday on the way home from school I had the radio tuned to my daughter's favorite station and a song that was playing had a line in it that really stood out to me. It made reference to a 'season of the sticks' which I think its safe to say must mean winter. I thought that was such an accurate, albeiet kind of depressing, picture of this time of the year.While we definitely have more than our fair share of evergreen trees here in Oregon, we also have plenty of trees and bushes that are reduced to sticks during the cold months. But, this morning as I looked out my kitchen window, greedily sipping from my mug of coffee, I marveled at the beauty of the winter sunrise. The sky was all pinks and oranges with frost on the rooftops and a little bit of fog. And, I realized that part of why it was so amazing is because I could see it more clearly through the sticks. The bare branches allowed me a view that I wouldn't be able to see if those same branches were covered in leaves. Being stripped down to almost nothing revealed something magnificent.We have seasons of the sticks in our lives too, don't we? Times when we feel as though we've been stripped bare and left exposed. It's easy to think that this is a place where all is ugly and dark. And yet, just like the winter sunrise was more visible because of the bare branches, the vulnerability we feel in the winter season of our souls allows us to get a glimpse of beauty that we wouldn't see otherwise. In the lush, warm seasons it's so easy to become comfortable. But in the bare, cold seasons we recognize just how much we need to rely on the One who placed the stars in the heavens and is sovereign over all.If you feel like your soul has been stripped bare and you've been left exposed and vulnerable, may I encourage you today to ask the Lord to help you to see the beauty in this 'season of the sticks'.“Answer me quickly, O Lord! My spirit fails! Hide not your face from me, lest I be like those who go down to the pit. Let me hear in the morning of your steadfast love, for in you I trust. Make me know the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul." Psalm 143:7
I just went to make my mid-morning protein shake a I just went to make my mid-morning protein shake and grabbed a banana out of the freezer and was about to put it into my shake before I realized it was a frozen egg roll. Sooooo that's how my day is going so far! 🤪How about you?It's honestly fairly representative of my state of mind these days as I can't seem to make the date on the calendar match the date in my spirit because it feels like it should be January 45th. Every year this month drags on and every year it seems to surprise me for some reason. In addition, my heart just feels heavy as I witness a lot of darkness and sadness around me. So, I'm choosing to control what I can control by making my house feel as cozy as possible, relishing the sunshine whenever it dares to peek through the clouds, gathering inspiration for warmer weather projects and, most importantly, resting in the comfort of the sovereignty of my Father.“God’s voice thunders in marvelous ways; he does great things beyond our understanding. He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth,’ and to the rain shower, ‘Be a mighty downpour.’ So that everyone he has made may know his work..." Job 37:5-7

It’s time for TIP TUESDAY! This week, I’m offe It’s time for TIP TUESDAY! This week, I’m offering a gentle reminder from my own parenting experience after feeling my heart pricked with conviction about what was waiting for my daughter every day after school. I hope it will encourage you! 🌿#tiptuesday
The day after Christmas I found myself laundering The day after Christmas I found myself laundering and folding all of the linens we used the previous night as we hosted my husband's side of the family for dinner and other festivities. As I laid out each cloth napkin and folded them one by one, I couldn't help but be struck by what a simple, yet meaningful, task it was. It's such an honor and privilege to be the hostess and, at this stage of my life, I realize that this has almost one hundred percent become my role now. Our parents are in their 70's and have either downsized significantly or simply don't have the energy to take on hosting duties for a large group. I could resent this. I could feel overwhelmed by it. But, instead, I'm choosing to embrace it knowing that, someday, I too will pass the hosting torch and I hope that I will be welcomed with love and attentiveness. So, I fold the linen napkins, taking pleasure in the way all of the creases line up and how neat and tidy they look in the drawer of my dining room buffet. These seemingly simple chores are part of the lifeblood of homemaking and my attitude towards them can either be one of gratefulness or grumbly-ness (yes, I'm making up words now).And I’m choosing gratefulness.“This job has been given to me to do. Therefore, it is a gift. Therefore, it is a privilege. Therefore, it is an offering I may make to God. Therefore, it is to be done gladly, if it is done for Him. Here, not somewhere else, I may learn God’s way. In this job, not in some other, God looks for faithfulness.” (Elisabeth Elliot⁣)
