Look... If you had... one shot... or one opportunity...
To seize everything you ever wanted... one moment...
Would you capture it? Or just let it slip?

- Eminem 🤍

You better - lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime

Well, I’ll tell ya. 💁🏻‍♀️ After a snazzy brunch 🍸 👯‍♀️, the fellas 😉👨‍💻👦🏼, drug us to the West Farm Corn Maze…in the “heat” of the day😜🙄🫠!! Then, we caught up to a couple of little boys, who, like BooBoo, are raised in them-there deer woods, 🦌 (sighs) and they showed us how to tackle that maze the “right” way, 😉 rough as a cob, son! 🌽 😆 Whooo me, that was a doozy!! 🤪🫠 Hey, you boys BETTER stop throwing them ears of corn, Y’all hear🧏🏻‍♀️ ME?!

Last weekend we celebrated a VERY special birthday with a murder mystery dinner party. It was beyond fun! I enjoyed incorporating Art Deco design, found vintage pieces and a little modern magic. 🤩 Enjoy!

Last weekend’s 13th birthday “camp out” wouldn’t have been nearly as fun if we had not used Party Pretty Co. The balloon garland was fabulous! I could go on and on about the great experience we had with them - helping us decorate for CB’s special night. She was very professional and went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect. My favorite part was the customized balloons. One with Claira Belle’s name and the other with her age “13”. So clever putting little balloons inside of a BIG clear balloon!! So FUN! The greatest thing about using Pretty Party Co., was seeing that she truly enjoys making things special. She even went as far as to supply me with several recommendations for cake decorators, which was not part of her job, and I was in a REAL pinch! Shew!!
Pretty Party Co. also rents out party decor, so check out her Insta page, local peeps! Did I mention that she delivers the garland and sets it up?! 🤩 I didn’t have to lift a finger, and that’s good because my fingers are worn OUT, 🤷🏻‍♀️ did I mention I have a 13 year old?! 😂

The unexpected. Never be afraid to show the world your true self. Those unique qualities set you apart from all others. It’s those things that showcase your beauty. So never hide them, display them, then let them see you shine. 🤍🤍🤍

Since childhood I have always loved beauty…in any form. Like the time I was playing dress up with my mother's clothes and got the scissors out; nothing in its original state seemed “just right.” Or the time I put my grandmother's silk scarf over a lamp to soften the lighting only for it to cat...

Glasses or no glasses, who cares?! Went to the ✨cosmetic counter ✨for some new mascara and the makeup artist talked me into doing a full face application. I know, I know. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Then, she proceeded to use one of those “ring lights” on me! I mean, and just where has this thing been?! WELL anyway, after all of THAT, I BEGGED her to come home with me and put this mess on my face every day. Like maybe...more than once??? 🤷🏻‍♀️ OK, it got awkward! 😆 But y’all, go get some of this by Holy COW! 🤩 You’re welcome!

finds from yesterday’s excursion! I have one thing to say...if loving Authentic European Antiques is wrong, I don’t want to be right! HA! I learned so many things from just chatting with her, I always appreciate a good story. Like these “bunnies”, (properly named a Hennow Hare), did you know that English country homes had them displayed for good luck and fortune?! The wooden hares are carved and painted by hand in England. Well, you KNOW I bought two! 🤩 I also picked up these 100 year old “La Lorraine” glass canning jars...sigh. They make me so happy just looking at all of the patina, it also rolls really nicely off of the tongue, Laaa Lorr-aaaine! 🥰 HA! It’s not too late, go see her! Get ya a BUNNY!! Or too...😉 antiques

AND for goodness sakes, do yourself a favor and head over to , check out all the pretties and tell Emilia her new Southern friend said Hey! ☺️ Ooh, and not to worry...I didn’t buy it all. 🙈

I think to myself, as I beckon my daughter to WAKE UP for 15th time, Ooh...circle of life. Ha! I can still hear my father, “Get Up, Get Up!” Same house, same bedroom, different distressed parent. Yep, it’s Tuesday, right? 😆

He reveals deep and hidden things;

God’s tender mercies are ever present. Thankful for all of you, and thankful for the joy of the Lord, He has made my heart glad. 🤍

The Gathered Hens would be remiss, if I did NOT mention my thankfulness for my podna in pickin crime, my MIL, Cheryl. God has blessed me so! Her kind and gentle spirit is saturated in His truth. She speaks from her heart and is a blessing to all she meets (Like she’s your best friend after 5 minutes. 🤪) Being the other half of The Gathered Hens, and sharing in this crazy thing we soooo enjoy doing, is just the icing on the cake! Love you, Cheryl! I am thankful for you. And while some may think that you might have it tough...keeping me straight, it is you ,my friend, that gets us into the biggest predicaments. Ooh, AND, for heaven’s sakes 😆, read my texts twice from here on out, K? 😉 👇🏻
