Ruffled

Every human deserves to escape, daily, to the serene haven they have created in their heart by the way they have personalized their home. Whether it be the fresh aroma's streaming from the kitchen, the personalized room to escape to, or having happy kids, it can all be achieved by creating the right environment to surround yourself with.  I have had many heart haven's throughout my life, and am here to show how they have been accomplished.  

I know that when you have an inviting house that has been transformed into a home, all who enter will be enclosed in that peacefulness you have created.  Different areas of the house have been at some point in time an escape where I can feel like I can breathe slowly, thinking calmly, and sigh relief.

Journey with me as we smooth the ruffles that arise to create a sweet, beautiful life. Come create personal DIY spaces, recipes, along with personal inspirations from a mom who experiences a ruffled life with keeping up with the demands of everyday responsibility. 

If life ever feels too overwhelming, and you seem unable to create those haven's you so desperately desire, reflect on these wise words:

"You can be excellent in every way. You can be first class. There is no need for you to be a scrub. Respect yourself. Do not feel sorry for yourself. Do not dwell on unkind things others may say about you. Polish and refine whatever talents the Lord has given you. Go forward in life with a twinkle in your eye and a smile on your face, but with great and strong purpose in your heart. Love life and look for its opportunities." ~ Gordon B. Hinckley

It has only been recently that I have realized the potential that ALL people are capable of, including myself.  Let us not waste another day to move forward to find the joy in each step we take.
