For the Littles

Gingerbread Salt Dough Ornaments

 

Hi, I’m Cherie! Welcome to my blog!

Visit me on Instagram

One question that never fails to be asked when I share my tablescapes: “Do you actually eat off those fancy dishes/decorated table?” Honestly, I think it’s a great question! So I thought I’d answer it here. Yes we do! Although with a couple exceptions: I don’t actually use any of the napkins. 🙈 (Mama’s got enough laundry to do as is) and I don’t always have a fancy 3 course meal to go with the fancy settings. Sometimes everything is all planned out, and we will have a nice dinner for special occasions. But lots of the time, I throw things together on a whim, or for pictures to promote a product, and the kids come home so excited to see the table all done up, so we enjoy it during dinner too before I put things away. 🙌🏻. I definitely think pretty dishes should be used, or at the very least displayed where you can enjoy them. I try to do both! 😂🙌🏻 Oh, but the youngest ones are not aloud to carry their plates from the table either. 😬. Use them, yes, but I don’t like the risk of them carrying them. 😂 It’s called balance. 😉 #balancingmotherhood #eastertablescape #neutraleasterdecor #greenglass #usethedishes “Sometimes we can learn, study, and know. And sometimes we have to believe, trust and hope.” -M. Russell Ballard #foodforthought #ldsliving #springinspiration #springtablescape #springcenterpiece Did you see my hot mess of my stories this morning? 😂🙈 I was on a time crunch, so I didn’t have time for a million retakes. But that’s some real life for you, so you’re welcome. 😂 Anyway, when I say I was on a time crunch, I meant it. I reeeeaaallly wanted to take advantage of this beautiful sunshine today, and take some photos of a tablescape showcasing my new green glasses. But I only had about 30 minutes before I had to head out the door... this took me about 15 minutes to put together (after I spent 10 minutes experimenting with napkin folding) 😂 And then I snapped some quick photos while yelling at the kids to get their shoes on. 🙈 We made it on time to my daughter’s dentist appointment, so I’m just all sorts of happy. Sunshine, tablescape, and on time?! Happy day indeed. 😃🙌🏻 I will work on sharing sources to everything when I’m home again. But until then, how’s this for a very last minute, thrown together tablescape?! It could’ve been better had I had more time to think it out. But overall, I’m happy with it. 🥰💕 #tablescapestyling #mycozystyle #cozycreativehome #eastertable #eastertablescape #neutraleasterdecor #decoratewithbooks #bookcenterpiece #vintagebooks #napkinfolding #greenglasses #bhghome #thecottagejournal When things aren’t adding up in your life, start subtracting. Every now and again I start to feel overwhelmed with my life, and have to force myself to take a step back, and focus on the important things. There’s always so much I want to do, and my mind has a way of dreaming big! But the reality is, I can’t do it all. I can’t please everybody. Learning to accept that is a challenge for me. It’s hard to push some dreams to the side because other things keep tugging at my heart. When part of me says “jump at the chance now!!” And another part of me says “that’s not as important as this. This is where you’re meant to be right now.” It’s a crazy ride, but then I remember I’m LIVING my dream of dreams. I get to be a mom. A blessing I never want to take for granted. The other dreams can and will wait. Because there’s nothing more important than living today, rather than wishing for the future. The future relies on what you do today. And sometimes that means scaling back, rather than attempting to accomplish a lifetime of dreams in a day. #foodforthought #simplifyyourlife #whatsimportanttoyou #easterdecor #eastermantle #eastersign #eastershelfie Friends!! I have so much happy news right now, I may burst! 😃👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 First: Beddy’s is celebrating their birthday week, and offering everyone 25% off their entire order! 😱. I have the link saved in my bio to take you directly to their site, and use code 5THBDAY I swear by their zipper bedding, making our mornings so much smoother. 😍 Things are going quick with this sale though, so don’t wait! 😃🙌🏻 Second exciting news: one of you sweet friends actually found this amazing wallpaper mural!! I have been on the hunt forever after the shop I purchased it from closed. I am so grateful for those of you who take the time to share these finds with the rest of us. I put the link in stories and also saved it to my highlights “shop floral bedroom” Eeeee! Are you as excited as I am?! 😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 #beddysbeds #mybedzips #girlsroomdecor #floralbedroom #floralwallpaper #pastels #girlsroomdecor #mykidsdigs What a beautiful rainy day it is today in my neck of the woods. 😍 Although, a nice steady rain beating on the roof makes it soooo hard for me to get out of bed. Does anyone else find rain completely soothing? And a light rain hitting the dry earth is my absolute favorite smell too. 😍 Speaking of favorite things; my “Home is made of love and dreams” sign from @thecountrybarn still remains a favorite of mine. 😍😍😍 I normally would have this shelf all rearranged by now, but I love how this turned out so much, I can’t get myself to do so. I did switch out my banners though... had to hang this darling fabric banner from @naturallycreativehome She used the same ticking fabric as her pillow covers, so it just pairs beautifully in this room! #shelfie #paintedsign #diyshelf #greenbottles #hopsflowers #vintageframe #decoratewithbooks #springdecor #neutralhomedecor
