Loving Lilla Rose! A fun giveaway!



So many of you have seen pictures of me looking like this…



but what you may not realize is that normally I look like this…

(yes..I’m blonde here….still don’t have many of me with dark hair! lol)  


with my hair pulled back in a ponytail.  I LOVE having long hair…my husband LOVES that I have long hair.  But it isn’t always convenient to curl it or straighten it everyday.  Most days it’s just easier to pull it into a ponytail.   Usually with one of these…

I know… kinda bleh and usually they end up with tons of hair wrapped around them…ewww.

But then, I was introduced to Lilla Rose products and I fell in love!! Seriously their hair accessories are not only gorgeous but so easy to wear.

I confess to having my doubts when my Lilla Rose consultant, Jackie, sent my a Flexi Clip to review.  I thought, there is no way my fine hair is going to stay in this clip…but it did! All day! I wore it on our last day of Haven (where I had several people notice that I was wearing a Lilla Rose Flexi Clip..they are very popular) 

This group is T-R-O-U-B-L-E! lol Kari from Thistlewood Farms, Vanessa, Heather, and Anna from Ask Anna! 

and I wore it all the way home in the car…not a stray hair in sight!



Then…my daughter discovered my Flexi Clip and proceeded to try and claim it for herself.  She loves to wear it and even though her hair is slightly thicker than mine, it works well for her hair too! 


Lilla Rose makes a variety of different sizes Flexi Clips.  Ones for the wispiest baby fine hair to those with thick hair…and every type in between.  They provide a great tutorial to help you choose which is best for your hair type!



I’d love to offer one of YOU a chance to try out a Flexi Clip :


or any other beautiful Lilla Rose product for yourself!

They also have gorgeous items like these very trendy headbands:



So here’s all you have to do to get one of Lilla Rose’s products (up to a $16 value) for yourself!

  1. (MANDATORY) Visit Jackie’s Lilla Rose Facebook Page and give her a LIKE while you’re there! Come bagck and leave a COMMENT letting us know you did.
  2. (OPTIONAL) Go to the Lilla Rose website and watch the sizing/styling videos (https://www.lillarose.biz/jackiea/flexi-sizing-and-styling.html) and choose your favorite item. Leave us a new comment letting us know which item you chose.
  3. (OPTIONAL) Share the giveaway through Facebook or Twitter and let us know you did in a new comment.
    That’s three chances to win!


Giveaway only open to US Residents. Giveaway will close on Sunday, July 15th at midnight! Winner will be announced next Monday! 

So, go pay Jackie a visit and come back here to enter to win! Be sure to come back and visit us tomorrow. Until then…thanks for meeting us At The Picket Fence!

    I like the flexi that looks like the figure eight your wearing, though the dangling earrings are a very close second.

    Yay, so glad I made the post! I love my flexi-clip too! I can’t wear it now that my hair is so short but I got a lot of use out of it when my hair was a little longer. 🙂

    Hi Heather! Blonde or Brunette, you’re adorable! That is a pretty hair clip. I just wish I had some hair so I could use one! 😉 I keep mine chopped off so short, think of letting it grow out again but change my mind very quickly.
    Thanks for popping in to see me.
    be a sweetie,
    Shelia 😉

    I sure could use a good clip. I still wear my hair long and usually in a pony or scruncy at least during the day. And they’re, well NOT sophisticaged!

    As for usually blond and went auburn, lol, I just did the same thing.

    I love it and I think your darker hair is extremely flattering as well.

    Thanks for the heads up – heading over there now.

    My hair is too short to use these clips, but my 7 yr old daughter would love them. She’d probably need the size small and would think the prettiest one is the flexi o ring with the flowers on it in gold.

“Those who know your name trust in you, for you, “Those who know your name trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you.” Psalm 9:10
This is one of my most favorite projects from my b This is one of my most favorite projects from my book Life in Season! 

Because, if heaven has a fragrance, I’m fairly certain it smells like lilacs.

I think that somewhere along the way the verse in the Bible that said, ‘heaven will smell like lilacs’ just got lost in translation. But it HAD to have been in there at some point, right?

When I bury my head in the blossoms (which I absolutely MUST do every single time I walk past them), I immediately feel a stirring in my soul.

It seems like I wait forever for my lilac tree to bloom. Every year I anxiously watch as the buds begin to form on the branches and then when the blossoms finally burst forth I begin that agonizing process of deciding the absolute perfect moment to snip them and bring them inside.

And then, after all of that waiting and watching it’s just over…done. Because, unlike heaven, lilacs don’t last for an eternity. So, making my own lilac room spray seemed like the perfect way to enjoy their fragrance long after the blossoms have faded.

Here’s how to make it! Ingredients: Water, Vodka, Lilac fragrance oil. Directions: Fill spray bottle with 50/50 ratio of water to vodka. Add 12 drops of lilac oil. Give it a shake, spray and if the scent isn’t strong enough, simply add a few more drops of lilac oil.

Once you’ve made this lilac scented room spray you will be very tempted to spray it in every room in your house. And someone may want to use it in the bathroom to cover up other less…ummmm….pleasing aromas.

But, do not, I repeat do NOT, let them.

You’ve captured the fragrance of heaven in a bottle and you wouldn’t want to go and tarnish it now would you? 😉
We had two back to back days of sunshine (the most We had two back to back days of sunshine (the most we’ve had in a LONG time) and now we are back to pouring rain. This has officially confirmed what I’ve know to be true for awhile now.

I’m a MUCH better version of myself when the sun is shining! 🤪 So I’ll just be over here today plotting and planning how my husband and I can be snowbirds someday when the kids are out of the house.

If you could spend your winters (and apparently most of spring too!) in any part of the country, where would it be?
Happy weekend sweet friends!! We’ve had a LOT of Happy weekend sweet friends!! We’ve had a LOT of rain lately (which is saying something when you live in Oregon) and I’ll admit that it’s affecting my moods a bit. I feel like I’m dragging and struggling to find the energy to get stuff done. So don’t mind me if I’m over here looking at photos of my garden in the summertime and finding that it keeps me hopeful about those days to come. They will come, right?! 🤪. 

What are your favorite plants that you look forward to seeing in the summer?
We’re going to be giving our laundry room a make We’re going to be giving our laundry room a makeover soon. It’s LONG overdue! In fact, the folks from the counter company were just here taking measurements. While we have made some simple, inexpensive updates over the years, it still has many of the original elements from when the house was built in 1992.

Two of our bathrooms are also in need of major makeovers. And we’ve saved up enough money over the years to tackle those projects. But, for the most part, we made the decision to use the bulk of that money in another way. While we knew that it was financially wise to invest in our house, we also knew that the greatest investment we could make was in our children. 

I’ll admit, there are times where I see other people doing massive overhauls of their entire home in a matter of months and I feel a prick of envy. But, we decided that if our choice was between waiting a bit longer to enjoy a renovated bathroom or going on adventures as a family, we would choose adventures every time. And we don’t regret that decision for a single second. It’s not that we haven’t tackled home projects (we’ve done a lot!). It’s just that it’s been a slow and steady process. 

Most recently, we let our son pick where we would travel for spring break since this is his senior year of high school and we are trying to make up for lost time. With so much of life ‘paused’ for two years, we have appreciated these moments more than ever. And, since he’ll be heading to college in the fall, we are very aware of how important it is to spend this time together while we still have a modicum of control over everyone’s schedules.

We have many years left to remodel our home but only so much time left to make memories with our children.

And, while I’m always happy to look around my home and see rooms that are updated and more reflecting of our style, it doesn’t compare to the joy I feel when I look around my home and see the people I love the most who have been shaped by the many adventures we’ve experienced together.
Happy Saturday!! After endless days of rain (and h Happy Saturday!! After endless days of rain (and hail and snow) we are finally getting some sunshine and warmer temperatures. I’ll be honest, it’s really affected my spirits having one gloomy day after the next. So this is a much needed reprieve. Our cherry trees are showing off outside my kitchen window and we plan to get outside and make the most of these days while we have them.

What’s the weather like where you are?
“The devil, darkness, and death may swagger and “The devil, darkness, and death may swagger and boast, the pangs of life will sting for a while longer, but don’t worry; the forces of evil are breathing their last. Not to worry…HE’S RISEN!” (Charles R. Swindoll).

Happy Easter! He is risen indeed!
Who has believed our message? And to whom has the Who has believed our message? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?

For he grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of parched ground; he has no stately form or majesty that we should look upon him, nor appearance that we should be attracted to him.

He was despised and forsaken of men, a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and like one from whom men hide their face, he was despised, and we did not esteem him. Surely our griefs he himself bore, and our sorrows he carried; yet we ourselves esteemed him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 

But he was pierced through for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the chastening for our well-being fell upon him, and by his scourging we are healed.

All of us like sheep have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; but the Lord has caused the iniquity of us all to fall on him. (Isaiah 53)
I try to always remember to put a water bottle in I try to always remember to put a water bottle in my car before I go to pick up my daughter from school. She didn't ask me to do this, but a few months ago I began to notice that she was often thirsty when she would get in the car. Her water bottle filled up at the beginning of the day was empty by the time school got out and she would ask if she could have some water from my hydroflask. So I make sure to have one waiting for her. It's just a simple thing, really. But, I want her to know that I'm paying attention, that I see her.

Isn't it amazing how small gestures can make us feel less invisible? Knowing that someone is thinking of us and takes the time to meet a need that we might not have even realized we had? These little acts can have big impacts. What is something that someone has done for you recently that made you feel valued and seen?

What have you done for someone else to remind them that you are paying attention to their needs?

“No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another.”
― Charles Dickens
“The next day the large crowd that had come to t “The next day the large crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem. So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, crying out, ‘Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel!’ – John 12:9-19
