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.

Front door wreath….✔️ The very last Christmas dec Front door wreath….✔️

The very last Christmas decorating to be completed and one of the most important since there’s nothing I love more than welcoming people into our home this season.

I bought the wreath for $15 from a wonderful local vendor, reused my favorite bells and added a velvet bow in the color I’m carrying throughout the house this year.

Do you buy a fresh wreath each year or do you use a faux wreath on your front door? 

#frontdoorwreath #christmaswreath #christmasporch
The first day of December and the first Sunday of The first day of December and the first Sunday of advent. As we enter into a month that can be filled with stress, anxiety, worry and even sadness, let us turn our hearts towards the ONE who came as the ultimate, undeserved gift. Because it’s all about Him. 

“Who can add to Christmas? The perfect motive is that God so loved the world. The perfect gift is that He gave His only Son. The only requirement is to believe in Him. The reward of faith is that you shall have everlasting life.” (Corrie Ten Boom)
“I would maintain that thanks are the highest form “I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought, and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.” ~ G.K. Chesterton

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours dear friends! 🍂
Its that time of year again. I share this recipe e Its that time of year again. I share this recipe every November because it’s JUST.THAT.GOOD! 

And I have a confession ...I’d rather have cranberry sauce smothering the turkey on my plate than gravy any day!! And this, this right here? Well it’s the best (and easiest!) cranberry sauce ever!! I eat on crackers and sandwiches and sometimes just by the spoonful. It’s so yummy! And I’m just so very thankful for all of you that I’m going to leave the recipe right here instead of making you go to the blog to get it. I promise you won’t regret having this on your Thanksgiving menu but be warned...you may find yourself up in the middle of the night sneaking some helpings of this deliciousness. Or maybe that’s just me!

Ingredients:
2 pounds fresh or frozen cranberries
2 oranges
2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup white wine.

Instructions:
Wash and pick over berries, removing any that are soft. Peel and dice oranges removing any seeds. Combine all ingredients in a large pot. Bring to a full boil. Reduce heat and continue cooking until cranberries pop open and mixture is thickening.
For best flavor, prepare and let stand for several days before using.

Gobble, gobble!! 🦃
It’s that time of year again!! Chex Mix will be ma It’s that time of year again!! Chex Mix will be made on repeat for the next month and I’ve figured out the secret to getting the BEST flavor.

Want to know what it is? It’s all about being EXTRA! 

Take the base recipe up a notch by using a full stick of butter, extra tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce and an extra 1/2 tablespoon of Lawry’s seasoning salt.

I guarantee you’ll never go back!

You’re welcome. 😉🎄

Happy Friday!! I limped my way to the end of the w Happy Friday!! I limped my way to the end of the week and I’m feeling especially grateful for the twinkling lights around my home which give me so much joy.

The great debate on social media over whether or not Christmas decorations should appear before Thanksgiving is one I just let roll on past me. Because I am so unbelievably thankful for this life, my family, my friends, this country, this home and most of all my Savior. 

Having my home all ready to welcome the next sacred season doesn’t take away one iota from my ability to express gratitude on the official day set aside each year where we do that collectively.

And when the last slice of turkey has been eaten and all of the leftovers put away, I’ll be over here ready to be fully present in the month of December and soak up every bit of it! 🦃🎄
IKEA vs Heirlooms: Why we need family treasures “ IKEA vs Heirlooms: Why we need family treasures

“My children have grown up seeing antique books on a coffee table, vintage toys in their bedrooms and even pieces of furniture that were all passed down from one generation to the next. But as my nest gets closer and closer to being empty, I’m keenly aware of the fact that many of these cherished items might not be as welcome in the homes of future generations.”

All of my CTM articles are saved in my highlights
Not too long ago, someone told me that they liked Not too long ago, someone told me that they liked it better when I just talked about decorating and didn’t mention anything else. This person preferred me to keep any opinions or convictions to myself and just focus only on content about home decor, crafts and recipes. Aside from the fact that I’m always astonished that people feel so free to say things like that, I do agree that it would be a lot easier and more palatable if I didn’t talk about things like a Biblical Worldview, apologetics and the nature of reality itself. For one thing, Instagram wouldn’t throttle my account with its algorithms that are skewed to diminish voices like mine. It would be much easier to be so tethered to this app that I change everything I post to fit into its preferred framework. I would be asked to be part of influencer groups and activities like I was years ago. But I’m not that person anymore. Yes, the core of this community will always be an emphasis on homemaking which will include decorating and recipes but I can’t separate that from the core of who I am as a follower of Jesus Christ.

It would be so much easier for me to just show you the latest Amazon products I’ve bought and tell you to “comment” to get the links. But I’m not called to take the easy path. Matthew 7:13-14 says, “Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many.”

I truly believe that so many have been lulled into thinking that the narrow gate wasn’t really all that narrow. But, it’s never been more obvious that it really is. And every day I seek to stay on that very narrow way.  More than ever before, I believe that our world needs to know that there is objective truth and a solid foundation to stand upon as we navigate our lives. My role as a homemaker is predicated on that foundation and everything else flows out of it. Talking about these things isn’t going to get me lots of views here. 

But I live for an audience of ONE.
The first time we hosted my in-laws for a meal was The first time we hosted my in-laws for a meal was in 1998. I was a new bride and eager to impress them. It did not go well. Let’s just say there was a bit of a garbage disposal mishap. 

It’s been over 25 years since then and I’ve learned so much about what really matters when it comes to hosting and caring for my family well during the holiday season. 

The peace we long for in our home begins with our hearts. If you want your home to feel more peaceful during the upcoming holiday season, I have five things to consider that will make that not only possible but predictable.

Here, in my little corner of social media, you won Here, in my little corner of social media, you won’t find a lot of unboxing of brand new items for Christmas. 

What I’m unboxing are the decorations in the attic that  I’ve had for years and figuring out how to give them a fresh look. I added new lights to an old pre-lit tree that no longer worked because I couldn’t bring myself to get rid of it. I’m putting out a different set of mugs at the hot cocoa station and the advent candles are arranged with greenery from outside.

As our feeds are filled with so.much.stuff, I want to offer you a reprieve. A place where you will find less emphasis on what’s happening in our homes and more on what’s happening in our hearts.

More than ever before, I can see just how much people are needing the hope found in Christ and that will always be the focus here. 

So, while you may not see me unpacking a massive, new tree or telling you to “comment for the link”, what you will see is encouragement to turn our hearts to what matters the most and let that reflect in every corner of our homes this season and all year long. 🌲
