This Summer we celebrated the boys’ fourth birthdays!
These two are as different as their hairstyles. You’d think sharing a womb, they’d be more similar, but nope!

Read MoreZeke told me, "I want waffles. Cut up. With..."
"Syrup on them?" I asked, hurrying to finish Zeke's sentence.
"Hey hey hey heyyy! I didn't get to finish!" Zeke told me.
Read MoreIt'd be great if we could #twin all the time, but I'm Mrs. black on black, and Stella is all color.
The day before school started, we went back-to-school shopping, and I taught Stella how to do a capsule wardrobe. I explained how, when you stick to a color palette, all your clothes can go together. That way, when we travel, it's super simple to throw some clothes in our Away luggage and head out.
A few weeks ago, we celebrated all three of the kids’ birthdays.
I remember Stella’s first birthday party. I put so much thought, detail, and work into it. It was pretty, but it wasn’t that much fun. I thought about all the visuals, but had totally forgotten about the fun! Most of the guests had older kids so they wanted activities, and I had a one year old and a smash cake. 🤦🏻♀️
This photo will forever make me laugh and here’s why:
I received a phone call from Arkansas Life Magazine and they said they wanted to feature me as one of the seven Arkansans who are “just as good at getting dressed as running successful businesses” (their words not mine). They also said they’d like to photograph me in one of my favorite spaces, a place that makes me truly happy.
Read MoreMiami was an adventure. My flowers were scheduled to be waiting for me in my hotel room when I arrived, but because of inclement weather, they were stuck in Memphis. The Miami wholesaler was closed by the time I landed in Miami and I wasn't able to get my flowers until just hours before my client needed her bouquet. Thankfully everything worked out and she loved her bouquet and her portrait session was a huge success.
Read MoreA while back I was on the beach in Puerto Vallarta with my friend Lindsey Meyer. We've been friends since we were eight years old. We talked nonstop for four days. We laughed and drank margaritas and I can't remember the last time I had that much fun with a friend. We talked a lot about sisterhood. My sister died when I was young. I adored my sister! Since the day she died, I've lived each day of my life feeling that void and simply knowing it can never be filled. It's just something I have to learn to live with, continually.
Read MoreThis week was hard. It was really hard. It was one of those weeks where nothing went right, no matter how much I tried. It was one of those weeks where my team needed things from me and I was constantly behind schedule. I'm a person who admittedly likes to be in control and there was a lot out of my control this week.
Read MoreIt doesn’t really feel like my birthday until I’m riding up a mountain in an open air sleigh to Beano’s Cabin.
The past three years, we’ve spent my birthday in Beaver Creek, Colorado. For my birthday meal, we take a sleigh to this magical lodge called Beano’s cabin. After a chilly ride up the mountain, we leave our shoes at the door and slide into cozy slippers provided by the lodge.
Read MoreTired, overstimulated, worn-down, anti-social. This is how I feel when I don’t have alone time.
A few months ago, I spoke at Florabundance Design Days. I LOVE getting to speak to fellow floral designers and business owners. At Florabundance, I got to see industry friends, meet Bloomers, and even participate in demonstrations from some of my favorite designers. What’s better than that?
Confession time: I'm tired. Like, really tired.
I normally quit working at 3pm and go pick up my kids from school and don't look at work again until the following day. Today, I had back to back appointments all day and left work at 3pm, picked up my kids, but had to bring work home with me. It is incredibly rare that I work at home with my kids around, but this is one of those rare weeks where there are major deadlines and extra hours are necessary.
Read MoreHad I known, I'm not sure I would have agreed to do it.
See the little girl in this photo. She turned four a few weeks ago. We have never cut her hair. It has grown at it's own sweet, slow pace and I've honestly wished it would stay short forever. As silly as it may sound, there is something about her hair being short that makes me feel like she's still a baby.
