finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
We celebrated my sister’s birthday with a surprise trip to Artemisia – a terrarium shop! She took a lovely class and left with her very own treasure. Katie is teaching 6th grade this year and we have plans to host a terrarium workshop in her classroom sometime this school year. I can’t wait to be […]
