Mother's Day

A little post to all of you incredible moms out there! We love you for all that you do and more. Need a last minute craft idea for mom? Check out these SUPER cute ideas from spoonful.com! My personal fave? Definitely the Minnie and Daisy Queen for a Day Kit. What can I say? I'm a Disney Princess at heart.

Head over to my Etsy shop if you need a little inspiration for cards - this print is one of my favorites if you're wanting to channel some girl power. See for yourself here: Girl On Fire Print

I thought I would share some of my favorite canvases and verses that my mom loves. She is always my number one fan, and I am grateful for all of her love and support.

Deuteronomy 31:6 - "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."

Philippians 4:13 -  "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength." This is a big one for us. When my mom and I run together, we remind each other of this verse.

My sweet mum helping me send out an order. Couldn't do it without you, mom! 

Proverbs 31:25 - "She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future." 

Love you mom!

Bible Verse of the Day

Philippians 4:13: I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.

Disney Princess Half Marathon

This past weekend my mom and I ran the Disney Princess Half Marathon at Walt Disney World in Florida! It. Was. Awesome. My family had no idea that my mom was going to run the race with me, so it was our little secret until we finished!

The race starts in Epcot and you run through Magic Kingdom and back to Epcot for the big finish! I don't think I could've found a better place to run a half marathon- especially for my first one!

my mom set out a little devotional for my the night before our race! it was so cute

walking to the starting line! 

One of the best parts about the trip was in the race itself. My mom made a devotional for us the night before the race, and she explained that she thought it would be special if we dedicated each mile to someone..and the surprise was that she had asked a few of my friends and family to write me letters. The verse that my best friend Erika wrote in her letter was Philippians 4:13: "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength." I wrote it on my hand and looked at it during the race as a reminder!

we finished!

The race itself was easier than I thought it would be when I first started training, but I think that's because my mom and I ran together the whole way. It was her first time in Disney, so it was awesome getting to show her the place I love so much! She understood why I want to work with the company one day. I sure hope that dream comes true! I could write five hundred more posts about our trip, but I need to get some sleep!

Philippians 4:13

Before I went off to counselor orientation last week, I had a lot of special orders to do! The best one was for a girl in Dallas who has been battling cancer in high school and is going to Baylor next fall. Her mother emailed me with her daughter's beautiful story, and I had tears in my eyes as I read it. The special cross with the canvas ribbon was something her mom sent me that really made the canvas have a special meaning for her. She is so brave, and it is incredible that she has been able to keep up her grades though her battle. She was so thoughtful and asked her mom if they could order another canvas for a friend fighting against cancer as well. Congratulations on your graduation, Caroline!! I hope you love your gift! Baylor is lucky to have such an inspirational girl come to their university!!
