Brunch & Bubbles {Elyse’s Second Birthday}

Who said brunch couldn't be at a birthday party? This was the perfect bubbles and brunch party for our brunch love little girl!

We celebrated Elyse’s birthday a couple weeks ago with a fun Bubbles and Brunch theme! Elyse’s favorite meal of the day, hands down, is breakfast. Girl could eat breakfast food all day long, especially waffles and berries. So we decided to combine that with her love for bubbles into a fun late morning party! I couldn’t be more happy with how it all turned out and she had a blast!

So I wanted to stop in and share some photos from the day. It was beautiful and our house was full of friends and family. I couldn’t have imagined anything better. I love being able to open our home to people we love.

We set up a waffle bar with freshly made waffles and all kinds of yummy toppings for for everyone to eat. This was definitely one of the most loved parts of her party! We were constantly putting waffles on the maker to keep them coming because everyone loved them so much.

We had sprinkles, spring time M&M’s, powdered sugar, syrup, and all kinds of berries for those who wanted them on their waffles. I took scrapbook paper and wrapped it around the whip cream cans for an added touch of spring time fun.

 

 

We also set a DIY yogurt bar up to accompany the waffles. There were all sorts of fresh berries to top the yogurt with. This is also one of Elyse’s favorite foods so I think she was in heaven the entire time.

This cake was made by a friend of ours who bakes cakes out of her home, isn’t she amazing? This cake was absolutely stunning and it tasted even better. Elyse isn’t a huge icing fan so we went with a naked cake topped with her favorite berries. She ate it all, but not before picking all the berries out first.

Then we set up a bubble station outside for all the kids to play. This was more fun than I thought, the kids were out there the entire time!

The bubbles did make quite the mess on the ground so kids shoes got slippery when coming inside, so I definitely recommend laying out some towels on the floor for when they come inside just in case you ever use this idea.

And of course, bubbles to take home as a thank you!

Elyse had so much fun and it turned out absolutely beautiful! I think having a brunch party was definitely a lot of fun and it was over before naps and kids had time to get fussy. Definitely a win in my book!

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.
