Company Crush: Farmgirl Flowers

Company Crush, FlowersSara Michelle B.2 Comments

I am a huge sucker for fresh flowers! They instantly brighten any room and anyone's day. I always have a vase or two around my house and I love sending bouquets to friends as a "thank you" or for special occasions. I recently stumbled upon Farmgirl Flowers. Their bouquets are BEAUTIFUL and I love their philosophy behind having a single type of bouquet available at a time and eliminating waste. Also, they wrap the flowers in burlap bags reused from local coffee roasters. How awesome is that?

I haven't actually tried the company yet... but my birthday is coming up in just two weeks so maybe that will change soon!  (Hint Hint, Evan!)

All photos from Farmgirl Flowers incredibly beautiful website!

Any companys you've been "crushing" on lately?

Easter Table Setting 2016

Easter Sunday was my last day of maternity leave and I could not have asked for a better day! It was the most beautiful warm, sunny day and filled with quality family time! We got up and dug into our Easter baskets, went to mass, watched Miles as he embarked on his first Easter egg hunt (he was in heaven, saying "oooooh!" with each egg he found!), had Easter dinner with Evan's family, and played outside until the sun set. Perfect day in my book!

Here are some shots of our Easter table setting and our wonderful day:

Unfortunately one of my pregnancy symptoms is that I have massive insomnia! No matter how tired I am, I wake up at 1:30 in the morning and am WIDE AWAKE for at least a couple of hours.  Since I'm one of those people who always tries to see the silver lining, I guess one of the benefits is that it has given me time to shop the latest home decor and furnishings available on the market right now and make some beautiful design boards! That part has actually been very fun, since I rarely have time in my normal daily schedule to fit in this type of activity. Here is my first board, a dining room:
