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.

I've been watching our cherry trees bloom for 12 y I've been watching our cherry trees bloom for 12 years now and every year I ohhhh and ahhhh over the blossoms like it's the first time I've ever seen them. I gush and I take photos (that look exactly like the ones I took the year before and the year before that) and I make my family come outside and look at them with me which you know they just LOVE to do. 😉 I think that is one of the main reasons why I love spring so much. On the one hand, it's predictable and yet, on the other hand, it still feels like such a surprise after the long months of barren branches.

And yesterday, as I was staring at the gorgeous blossoms for the umpteenth time, I couldn't help but think that I hope this is how I feel when our lives return to some semblance of normalcy.

I hope that the predictable feels special and that the typical feels anything but. I hope that I ohhh and ahhh over the simple things I've realized I've taken for granted. And, most of all, I hope that feeling doesn't go away for a very, very long time! 💗
Are you living with great expectation friends? Bec Are you living with great expectation friends? Because He is risen!

Happy Easter from my home to yours!
Lemon bars all ready for tomorrow! It’s going to Lemon bars all ready for tomorrow! It’s going to be a different kind of Easter for sure but some things don’t change. Have you been baking and getting ready for tomorrow? What’s one thing on your menu that you have to have every year?
If this is Good Friday, why doesn’t it feel so “good”? It all seems backward doesn’t it?

What could be good about the unspeakable pain he suffered? What could be good about the shame and betrayal?

Easter Sunday is so joyful, bright and cheery. Shouldn’t that be the day we call “good”? It just feels so much better!

But, I don’t know how to rejoice over His resurrection, unless I have felt the pain of His death. I have realized that in life the sweetest victories are the ones which were realized after a pain-filled journey.

And, so it is with Good Friday. I know there will be victory over death, but I can’t skip ahead in the story.

Jesus knew what was coming. He knew what he would experience. And he knew why he would go through it. He did it for me. He did it for you.

Do you know that? Have you felt it down in the very core of your soul? 
Sometimes it makes me squirm a bit. Why would anyone do that for me?

Well, because, I can’t do it for myself!

There is nothing I can do to earn that kind of love and mercy.

That is why it is called GRACE.

His grace is freely given. We don’t have to pay for it. He paid the price for us already.

Do you remember that movie from years ago called “Ransom”? A couple’s young son was kidnapped and the parents went to hell and back trying to find him and pay the “ransom” demanded by the kidnappers.

Well, Jesus is our “ransom”. (1 Timothy 2:6) His life was the payment.

Why is it called “Good Friday”? Because that wasn’t the end of the story….
.
…It was just the beginning!
Raise your hand if there’s a table in your house Raise your hand if there’s a table in your house that’s become the landing zone for ALL THE THINGS! 🙋🏻‍♀️🤪 I’ve never been more thankful for our rarely used dining room table as it’s become command central for school books and laptops and games.

Where are things collecting in your house right now?
“Sighing, tears, frustration, anger.” Every si “Sighing, tears, frustration, anger.” Every single one of these emotions has made their way through our home in recent days and, my guess is, they have in your home too.

I SO needed this reminder today from the new book ‘Adore’ by @sarahagertywrites.

Adoration isn’t just sitting at His feet gazing longingly with stars in my eyes. It’s bringing my fears and my sorrows and gray roots in my hair that desperately needs to be colored and my messy house and all of the things that threaten to send me over the edge right now and laying them down before Him, soaking up His word and His presence so that when I stand back up, I am changed for having spent the time adoring the ONE who is... Healer, comforter, peace-giver, deliverer, redeemer.

What do you need to bring to Him today? I’ll share mine in the comments and I’d love to hear from you too!
I’ve always loved evenings, but since this whole I’ve always loved evenings, but since this whole lockdown thing began, I’ve come to appreciate this time of day even more.

It feels the most...normal. Daytime is strange and foreign right now. My husband has taken over our home office, I’m suddenly taking over the responsibility of managing my kids’ distance learning and let me just say that teaching 7th grade algebra to my daughter is hugely ironic since I struggled with math all the way through school. I’m trying to do my own work but it feels utterly futile with the constant interruptions which take precedence right now. In the daytime, I’m constantly reminded of how upside down life feels.

But, in the evening, I cook dinner like I’ve always done and we gather around the table like we’ve always done and we laugh and tell stories and then clean up and play games or go on a walk or watch a show. And that feels SO gloriously normal.

So now I love evenings even more than I ever did before and I’m so grateful for this little chunk of time where the rhythms we established years ago are helping to sustain us now when so much of life feels outside of our control.

What feels ‘normal’ to you right now? Whatever it is, keep doing it. 🌿
When I was in college I would frequently call home When I was in college I would frequently call home and pour my heart out to my mom, sharing with her all that was happening in my life in that completely unfiltered way that you can talk with the person who potty trained you. These phone calls usually took place at night and my mom would patiently listen as I vented frustrations about professors, roommates, boyfriends and the food in the cafeteria. And, inevitably, they would end with my mom saying, “Everything seems worse when you’re tired. Try not to overthink things or make any major decisions tonight, especially when you are feeling emotional.” Dear friends, may I pass along this advice to you today?

If you don’t absolutely HAVE to make a decision right now, I want to encourage you to wait until life gets back to normal. If you are finding yourself over-analyzing relationships and family dynamics, I want to encourage you to remember that everything seems more dramatic when looked at under a microscope. And, let’s face it, being homebound with our loved ones non-stop makes us all feel like lab rats in an experiment.

If you are tempted to quit a job, start a business, start homeschooling permanently, stop homeschooling permanently, move to a new city, buy a farm, quit pursuing your dream, join a commune or make any other major life decision just…wait. Because, if it is in fact the right decision, it will be made even clearer once our lives return to their ‘regularly scheduled programming’. Instead, in this strange season, let’s all just take a deep, collective breath and let it out slowly, releasing the anxiety that threatens to overtake us. Let’s help each other maintain some perspective and not slip into a posture of over-thinking every little thing in our lives. Let’s remember that the enemy of our souls would love nothing more than to use this time when things feel dark to manipulate us into thinking that aspects of our lives are worse than they actually are.

My prayer for you in these days is that you will have the clarity to know what is true and that you will be filled with peace even while we live in this season of so many unknowns.
Raise your hand if you’re doing more baking thes Raise your hand if you’re doing more baking these days! 🙋🏻‍♀️ I’m trying to avoid gaining the #corona15 but my daughter and I LOVE baking together and it does help to pass the time plus it counts as a science lesson right?

If you’re able to find flour in the stores (for the love people please stop overbuying!) and you’re doing more baking at your house too you need to add this apricot bread to your list of new recipes to try!

Normally I’d point you to my blog for the directions but I’m going to do you a solid and leave the full recipe in the comments.

What have you baked so far during this time of social distancing? I’d love some new ideas!
There are a LOT of people out walking in our neigh There are a LOT of people out walking in our neighborhood right now (but still social distancing!) and she decided that she wanted to bring them some joy and put a smile on their face when they pass by our house. Also, the square with ‘say no to coronavirus’ is priceless. 😂 I just love her so much!
