A floral baby shower is the perfect theme for a sweet spring gathering. While a natural choice for a girl, I think that a colorful (read: not overly pink) floral scheme is also ideal for a mom who’s waiting to find out the gender. After months of cold gray weather, cheerful florals are a welcome change of pace, putting everyone in the mood to celebrate a loved one and her little bundle of joy on the way.
Welcome to my newest food obsession: sheet pan gnocchi with chicken sausage and vegetables. How did I not know that this was a thing until very recently?
I’ll be honest: when my husband and I began the adoption process, we never imagined that we’d have an open adoption that went beyond sending monthly updates and pictures via email and visiting occasionally. I don’t discuss our relationship with Tommy’s birth family in much detail publicly to protect their privacy. But it’s an important part of our lives and involves a lot more contact than what I just described. As such, I’ve fielded a lot of questions addressing myths about open adoption and will continue to do so. I’m debunking 10 of the most common myths about open adoption.

Switching up a wreath in a living room or entryway is a simple way to transform the decor for a new season or holiday. I love using new or vintage embroidery hoops to create simple, festive wreaths. An embroidery hoop paired with green florals and a whimsical element, such as a book page, adds a cheery touch to your home. I’ve rounded up just a few of my favorite spring embroidery hoop wreath decor ideas. Happy decorating!
