Hello! I’m Sara. A mama of three amazing boys ages 6, 4, and 2. We’ve had a challenging few years, but through the ups and downs, one thing that always brought me joy is making my house feel like a home, decorating, learning, and sharing what inspires me. Now more than ever, I’m loving my little corner on the internet to share the beautiful things that bring me joy. From faith to flowers, decor to dreams - thanks for following along!

Why the "Fat Hydrangea"?

Fluffy, fat hydrangeas are simple reminders for me to slow down and enjoy all of the beautiful things in this life.
