If Mom’s Could Slow Down Time

Vintage-Honey-Shop

This post is sponsored by The Vintage Honey Shop. All opinions are my own. 

Do you ever wish you could just stop time? I don’t think I would want it to stop for good. There is beauty in seasons to come and I want to fully embrace those. But sometimes, I wish I could just press pause. I wish I could just hold on to some moments a little longer and savor them before they fade away.

The thing with kids is you never know when something is going to be your last. You never know the last time they’ll cry for you at night, because one day they just won’t. You’ll never know the last time they let you rock them to sleep, because one day they’ll just prefer their bed more. You’ll never know when it will be the last of something because things just go that fast.

So if I could pause some of those moments and bottle them up, I would. I would then take them out whenever I needed them. My babies are growing and I just can’t stop it.

One of my most favorite discoveries as a mama, especially a nursing mama, has been The Vintage Honey Shop. The Vintage Honey shop makes handmade nursing and teething necklaces that are absolutely beautiful. I am not exaggerating. There isn’t many things that mama can wear that make her feel like a woman still AND still be friendly for being a mama. I can’t tell you how many necklaces my littles have broken chains on. But insert The Vintage Honey Shop and my problems are solved.

I wear these beautiful necklaces even when I don’t have a baby on my hip they are just that cute. I love being able to add a pop of color, a fun pattern, or even just something to spice up a casual outfit. It makes me feel a little bit more put together.

What I love even more about The Vintage Honey Shop are the two beautiful women behind it, Jen and Mel. Both of these ladies have amazing hearts and would never have dreamed of being where they are at today. It’s so amazing to see how the Lord has blessed them and their business. I love supporting handmade, but I love even more supporting mamas with beautiful hearts.

Take time to hear from them about their business and don’t forget to enter the giveaway!

How did you get started with The Vintage Honey Shop (VHS)?

As we made little crafts here and there, we would share them on our Facebook pages, and a lot of friends and family members urged us to open up an Etsy shop.  We thought about it for a while and finally decided to open up a shop together as friends! What does VHS specialize in making

What does VHS specialize in making?

We make handmade teething and nursing necklaces.  The necklaces are fabric and wood-based.  Mom wears the necklace, and baby can safely put it in their mouth (because you know they are going to do that anyway). Our necklaces are very popular with breastfeeding mothers as well, because when mom wears the necklace, their baby can have something to hold onto?

Where does the name behind your shop come from?

We picked our name because we love the color gold. That deep vintage honey color…so we picked The Vintage Honey Shop?

Vintage-Honey-Shop-4

What is one of your favorite necklaces from your shop?

There is no way we can pick a favorite. They are all our favorites!

Anything else about the heart behind your shop you want to share?

We had no idea that The Vintage Honey Shop would take off, and that we actually had great business skills that had been laying dormant inside of us. Our vision for our shop has evolved and changed for us over the years; and it still does, which is great, because being an entrepreneur is a fun adventure!

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.
