Happenings at Home

Oh boy what a week! It was one of those weeks that felt so long yet so short. Can you realte?

A lot of it had to do with our 14 year old, Grace getting hit in the head at her soccer game last week. The game that she played right before our Ed Sheeran concert. Yep we had no idea that she had a concussion at that point and took her to a huge concert. Looking back we feel awful but she loved every minute. It was her Christmas gift that she had been looking forward to.

We figured out the concussion part late Sunday night and then she saw the trainer at school (thanks to her basketball coaches’ suggestion) and then we took her to a local concussion specialist who ended up being incredible!!!

She is now slowly working her way back to normal activities (still going to school) just no physical activity. It is club soccer season so really tough on her mentally since she just joined a new team. She is a touch kiddo and between this, starting high school and a new team that’s a lot for a 14 year old. Head injuries are very serious and I just ask that if you have a moment you left our sweet girl up in prayer. Thank you friend!

I have some fun links to share with you all today. Did you know if you click a shopping link in one of my posts and buy something (even if it’s not the same item I have linked) I earn a commission? Pretty awesome right? I am always thankful when you shop through my links. It helps keep this little blog afloat.

Zinnia Update

Our zinnias are thriving! I keep cutting them back to make bouquets and arrangements and I swear there are more out there every time!!! I’ve been sharing a bunch of my videos about them over on Facebook and Instagram and last week one of my Facebook reels went viral! It was my one about planting them in pots.

If you aren’t following me over there too you should pop over and take a peek as I share a lot of fun things daily!

Did you plant any zinnias this year? If so I would love you to send me some pictures!

I have already started looking at some new seed varieties for next year’s garden and I have some fun stuff in the works around how we can grow zinnias together. If you want to be kept in the know you can add your email to my waitlist for all the details!

Here are a few places for great seeds!

More From My Home

This week we besides being at a lot of doctors appointments my mom popped over and helped me spray paint some old Pier One chairs I have had forever. I chose the color French Blue from Rustoleum.

Here is a before and here is the after. I love how they turned out…it took me a bit, but after my mom helped me style the mantel and add pillows I was smitten. So here is a sneak peek at my Fall mantel.
