Holiday Shop Spotlight: The Golden Polka Dot

Disclaimer: I received this product in exchange for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given. All opinions are my own.
Itty-bitty moccasins on itty-bitty feet – I don’t think it could get any cuter than that! When people think stocking stuffers, I think a lot of people immediately think candy. But stockings are absolutely perfect to stuff tiny little treasures in. And I have to say, moccasins are the perfect treasure to put in your little one’s stocking.

 

The Golden Polka Dot is one of my absolute favorite places to find all things girly for Elyse. My husband probably wishes I never found her little corner of the internet because I have a hard time staying away. Every product from bows, to tie headbands, down to these little moccasins is made with such attention to detail and amazing quality. When I saw these misty rose moccasins  I knew they would make the perfect stocking stuffer for our little girl.
The Golden Polka Dot is definitely one of our favorite shops for Elyse and it’s the perfect go to for your little girls and boys! She also has adorable little bow ties in her shop just for the little men in your life. I am sure you will absolutely adore Marth and her heart tugging story. Read all about her and the heart behind her shop and look for a discount code just for you!

 

 

I first started The Golden Polka Dot when my daughter was a couple months old. I had grown up sewing and the love for sewing blossomed when I had a girl of my own to design and sew for. We always knew we had fertility issues but in the last year they have gotten dramatically worse. This is when we started to really pursue our business dreams in order to save for the dream of having another baby! Our shop has been such a blessing, it has helped us pay for all our medical/fertility bills and we have met so many amazing inspiring people along the way. In 2016 we hope to start using our proceeds to help other couples who can’t afford fertility treatments but need them to grow their family. We know first hand the type of emotional and financial burden infertility can cause, it’s our goal to help families reduce that burden if only in a small way.

 

 

Martha is offering all my readers 25% off with code YOUAREMORE. Don’t wait too long because Christmas is getting closer and closer!

You deserve to exist, with the same grace and love You deserve to exist, with the same grace and love that you so freely give to your family. It’s not just about holding space for them; it’s about holding space for you, too.

You don’t have to shrink yourself to make room for others.

You deserve to take up space too.
Sometimes, the habits that helped us survive becom Sometimes, the habits that helped us survive become the hardest to unlearn. Those patterns once kept you safe, but now you’re learning they don’t need to anymore. 

Give yourself grace—you’re unlearning survival. Healing takes time, and with each layer you peel back, you’re discovering the person you’ve always been beneath the survival.

And if you’re anything like me, you’ll really learn to love her. ❤️
✨ NEW SEASON ✨ I’m not a big fan of change. ✨ NEW SEASON ✨

I’m not a big fan of change. My nervous system gets all panicky and tends to over research every possibility that could take place. It likes to tell me safety is in the details. 

But I know that’s not true.

This year has been a big year of growth for me in this department. Trauma told me control was my safety, but the truth was all I ever had was a false sense of control. 

This year has offered plenty of opportunities for me to say, “Okay God, you have my yes, wherever that leads.”

No over research. No over analyzing. No predicting every possibility. No trying to control the outcome.

Just a heart that says, “Yes.” 

Even when I don’t understand. Even when I’m nervous how it will turn out. Even when it feels like right now isn’t bad. Even when my heart’s confused. 

Even when….

God has been asking us both a lot lately, “Do I have your yes, no matter what that looks like?” Friday was the end of a season for Chad working at the Appliance Guys, and today starts a new season of a new company. It was NOT an easy decision, and it came with a lot of tears (mainly from me - are you surprised?). His boss, where he’s been for the last almost six years, has been an incredible support for our family as we walked through some of the hardest seasons of our family. They will always hold a special place in our heart.

But God said “it’s time” and my faith-filled husband said “Yes.” I have to admit, I don’t envy how hard this decision was for him. It affects us both, yes. But he had to walk it out. And I’m so grateful for His leadership and faith to Jesus to step into the next season when there are so many unknowns.

Sometimes, all God wants to know is does He have our “YES” no matter what that means. No matter what that changes. 

May I live my life in a way that has an open heart to hear from God and a willingness to say “YES” even when….

(PS he was so thrilled I made him take this photo. 😂 But I know this season will be one we forever ever want to remember, because God always shows His faithfulness).
I wonder if they would have chosen life for her. I wonder if they would have chosen life for her.

I wonder if they would have seen what was growing inside of her, and the fight that was about to come on the other side, if they would have said her life was worth saving.

I wonder if they would have discounted her before she had a chance. 

I wonder if they would have made a prediction about her quality of life and deemed her not worth the cost.

I wonder if they would have saw the life saving measures she would need and decided that it was worse to let her live.

I wonder if they would have saw everything that could go wrong, the bleak prognosis, and compared her to statistics. 

I wonder if they would have made a choice to encourage a decision that robbed us all of the miracle we see today.

Whether 48 hours or 4 years - her life has changed mine for the better. It’s heartbreaking to think someone may have once told me she wasn’t worth it.
