OUTDOOR ENGAGEMENT PARTY DECORATING IDEAS

Most of you know that my son got married last Fall.  I've shared some bits and pieces on social media but not much here other than announcing the engagement from Fall of '22.  All along I've been planning to and was excited to share everything, there was just so much to share that it seemed daunting and I needed to get my thoughts organized about how I wanted to present everything here.  So, since we're on the verge of "Wedding Season," I thought it would be fun to spread several engagement/wedding related posts out over the next few weeks in a little series to get you all caught up!  My sister's land/farm is not too far from where Caleb and Kenzi were going to school, and he decided he wanted to designate a special spot there for the proposal.  There's a ridge on the edge of their land that looks down over the rest of the property, and we thought that would be the perfect proposal spot. We planned to have a party with friends and family afterwards, so...

MOTHER'S DAY 2024 GIFT GUIDE

It's sneaking up so quickly, in lieu of Five Friday Favorites I thought I'd share a Mother's Day gift guide today.  I'll have a little description here of each thing I chose and the product photos further down in the post are also clickable and interactive for easy shopping.  Hope this is helpful and you find some things that Mom (and maybe you too 😉) will love!  Mother's Day is just around the corner, but almost all of these should arrive in time if you don't delay shopping.   I kind of can't believe I don't have a phone stand, but I probably need one and this  cane design acrylic phone stand  is perfection!  Barrington bags are always on my gift guides, there are countless combinations of custom fabric designs and monogram colors that you can choose.  Love this wristlet pouch  and I have 3 tote bags ( the St. Anne and the Savannah )  that I've stuffed to overflowing on trips and put through the wringer for years now and they are still going stron...

DIY COLORFUL TASSEL FRINGE STREAMER PHOTO BOOTH BACKDROP

This DIY colorful tassel fringe streamer photo booth backdrop was so fun to put together and turned out as such a festive photo booth op!   I actually made it two years ago around this time of year for a Mother's Day photo spot at our church but it seems like this was just yesterday! It's so versatile and can be customized to include any color scheme you choose- would be so fun with school colors for a Graduation party, color palette selections for a wedding, or a variety of colors for a whatever holiday party you might be hosting. This was such a fun and relatively simple DIY project and other than a few hours of time the monetary investment is pretty small for such a big impact!  I always want to make sure that I give credit where credit is due-  I originally saw a similar idea from Kara at A Kalio Chic Life , but made some changes and adapted the method she used to better suit my needs and budget.  Today I'm sharing with you how I made mine.   Here are the supplies I use...
