Spring Must Haves From Pier 1

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Pier 1 for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Spring has sprung at Pier 1 with a wide variety of products to spruce up the patio and more.

Sit pretty with one of these beauties!

The crisp White chairs are a perfect starting point to add splashes of color. Best of all these could find their way indoor as well.

Switch out the white for a pop of color with a sunny yellow or vibrant blue. Pier 1 has a wide variety of accessories right now and a price that is easy on the budget.

Set the table with the Tasting Party collection. Dessert buffets and bite size portions are popular for parties, and with so many dish options, Pier 1 has something for every occasion. Don't miss the yummy recipes found here. Featured above: Banana Cream Delight, Classic Cheesecake, and Chocolate Peanut Butter Parfait.

Move over porch swing and make way for the Swingasan! Or go for an iconic Papasan paired with a whimsical cushion.  The Papasan chair would transition nicely indoor when the weather changes, making it a budget friendly spring addition.

Weeds

March has been one busy month! Truth be told January to present has been absolutely insane, with an abundance of birthday parties, illness, and life in general. Through it all I have felt the stress building...you know what happened next right? Bit by bit, I started to get a little more of God's perspective and a little less of my own.
We have been trying to tame some weeds in our backyard flower bed, and nothing seemed to work. Finally, we just gave up and left them alone. Weeks went by and our sweet girl decided to pluck at some of those pesky weeds, and what she pulled up was not a weed, as we had thought, it was a carrot! Carrots are growing in our backyard, seemingly out of no where! Come to find out, our little one had dumped the entire Veggie Tales carrot seed pack out into the garden, months back...

This got me thinking about all the times I fret over things that are blessings in disguise. The so called weeds, invading our little flower bed, turned out to be a positive, which lead to a sweet after school story time.

Thank you Becky, for the fun oversize copy of The Carrot Seed!

Frilly Little Finds

I found this lovely image over at Hostess With The Mostess Coco Chanel inspired baby shower.

Which lead me to this sweet little incognito diaper bag:
Juniper Berry Crumb Cake Cameo Clutch from Petunia Pickle Bottom

And got me thinking of the lovely layering Maryam Tank at Anthropologie.

Don't you think this is perfect for adding a little something extra to layering?

To top it all off, I found my way over to Etsy and discovered this beautiful photograph (Paris is a feeling) from isphotography.

Spring Looks to Love

Janie and Jack's Spring collection is absolutely lovely! Everywhere I turn there is an outfit to squeal about. I don't know about you, but I am so ready for Spring!

Happy Valentine's Day

I hope you are having a lovely Valentine's Day!

Valentine Cards & Goodie Bags

We are in full Valentine prep mode around here! Our sweet girl has a Valentine party at school on Monday, and I signed us up to provide the goodie bags, as well as make the Valentine card to give out to her friends.

 Here is the card we came up with after searching the blogosphere and a marathon trip to Hobby Lobby!

Next, is the Party Goodie Bag. I wanted something fun and of course super cute. Between Target (for the bags, Hershey Kisses, and stickers) and Hobby Lobby (for the crazy lip whistles, silly glasses, and smiley face balls (used in the Valentine card above)), I decided on "My Funny Valentine" for the theme.

Here we are trying out the extra goodies!

I hope you have a fun and lovely Valentine's Day!

Love and Respect for Valentine's Day

"Here is the secret to marriage that every couple seeks, and yet few couples ever find...

Unconditional respect is as powerful for him as unconditional love is for her..."

Each one of you also must love his 

wife as he loves himself, and the wife 

must respect her husband. 

- Ephesians 5:33

A perfect book for Valentine's Day, Love and Respect For A Lifetime by Dr. Emerson Eggerichs. Also, look for the Love and Respect Conference. Click here for a listing of live and video conferences near you.

TutuDuMonde

TutuDuMonde's collection of tutus will make any little girl (and mommy for that matter) twirl with delight! I came across this dreamy collection via Cool Mom Picks and my heart skipped a beat. The colors and textures are beautiful! The price is not for the faint of heart, but maybe with a little saving of rainy day pennies (dollars more like)...
