Girl’s Shared Bedroom and Nursery

The girl’s shared bedroom and nursery is one of my favorite rooms in the house. This room is pink, gold, white and all things girly. It didn’t take much to pull the girl’s shared bedroom together because the color scheme has continued to grow with Elyse through the years. I love being able to make decor last and grow with the kids so I don’t have to redo the room too often.

The inspiration for Elyse’s room was basically a color palette that I wanted to stick with, pinks, gold, and white. I also wanted to accent her room with gold polka dots. Her original nursery at our old house had polka dots, but we weren’t able to reuse them in our new home since they lost their stick. So with having Evelynn, it was the perfect time to update a few things in our room.

The paint job in her room needed to be updated, so we went ahead and grabbed a new can of paint. We were in a rush the first time as we were moving in to get it done, we just didn’t do the best job. Lesson learned, don’t rush. A fresh coat of paint made all the difference with their room. I grabbed these adorable gold polka dots from Amazon and added them to a main wall as an accent.

We set up the same white crib that we used for Elyse and the wall above just needed something. I intended to do my own DIY Floral Hoops behind the crib, but when I went to Hobby Lobby I found hoops already made 50% off and snatched them right up. The less work for me, the better! They were the perfect addition to the wall behind the crib and tied everything together nicely.

I moved the curtains that we had on her window to the closet. The doors on the closet were annoying and you couldn’t see into the closet very well, so this option was just better. That way I could get some room darkening curtains for the window for when Evelynn would be napping in there. We also made the closet work well for both girls with their shared closet organization system.

The room works perfectly for both girls and I am so excited to see them grow together. The window has always been one of Elyse’s favorite places to sit, and I just picture the girl’s sitting in there together playing for hours. I feel like it fits them both perfectly and I absolutely love it.

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.
