Shop Spotlight: Ball of Sparkle {+ a Giveaway & Discount Code}

Ball-of-Sparkle-Shop

It’s no surprise I love all things Mommy and Me especially since having my baby girl. Her first mother’s day with me I was so excited about finding matching headbands to wear to church. I am going to match that little girl as long as she will let me, because seriously isn’t that what daughters are for?

When this little shop came to be, besides it’s focus on Mommy and Me, I knew it was something special. It’s not often I get to show case a shop from someone I know in real life, but when I do it is a special treat! Stephanie is absolutely beautiful inside and out. She has an eye for creativity and an incredibly fun personality. She just opened up her own little shop and I couldn’t wait to share her with you all.

I remember talking to her through her journey of wanting to get pregnant and then the announcement of her miracle baby. This little girl is definitely the sparkle in her life and is a lot of the inspiration behind Ball of Sparkle shop. But, enough from me, let’s hear a little from Stephanie’s heart.

1) How did you get started with Ball of Sparkle Shop?

I looked all over the place for mommy and me type accessories and outfits (yeah, I’m that momma). I never found anything that I liked or could easily afford. I’ve always loved sewing, so I decided to try my hand at a few head wraps and bows. They turned our super cute!

2) What does your shop specialize in creating?

My goal for Ball of Sparkle Shop is to focus on mommy and me matching accessories, but I also sell separate pieces for sizes newborn-adult, and boutique style clothing!

3) What are some of your favorite things to create? 

So far the Turbans and Headwraps are my favorite. They’re such a fun piece to wear and choose fun materials for. The boutique style clothes are slowly taking over though, the more experienced and creative I become with them, the more I love them!

4) Where does the name behind your shop come from? 

My husband and I had a bit of a hard time getting pregnant. We tried for about two years before finally finding out we were expecting. All I ever wanted was to be a momma to a little girl, I am the most girly person I know, I NEEDED a girl. My husband wasn’t with me when I found out what we were having and I wanted to surprise him with a cake. I couldn’t keep it in so I told the cashier at the store just to get it off my chest! Anyways, the moment I found out I was getting the little girl I had always wanted I started calling her my “Little Ball of Sparkle.” That’s how I came up with the Ball of Sparkle shop.

The inventory of her shop is growing so quickly, but it’s disappearing just as fast. Everything is so well hand crafted with the beautiful mommies and babies who will receive them in mind.

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.
