This is a bittersweet post. I officially held my very last workshop at the little shop on State Street. I cannot believe that we have held over 27 workshops here. Although I am still uncomfortable speaking in a public setting, I have grown so much in just two short years. I will cherish the memories I’ve made here and I am so thankful for the attendees that have become friends through a mutual love of flowers.

Read MoreCan it really be? Have we really just celebrated our 2 year anniversary?! When we first opened our doors up, I thought this would be more of a hobby or a tool to help me when sourcing for my design clients. I never imagined how this community would open its hearts to us and find so many people that love fresh flowers as much as I do. I have so many fond memories in this building already and I cherish all the friendships that have blossomed here too! We celebrated this milestone with a fun shopping event with food, giveaways and a huge sale! Here are the highlights from that night!

Here in Missouri, we are already feeling that transition from hot summer days to cooler fall ones. Seasonal fashion has been on my mind quite a bit lately as I start to dream about the new pieces I want to add to my fall wardrobe. I like to start off by taking inventory of what I already have. If its in good condition and I like the style, I keep it. Everything in poor condition gets tossed and the pieces that do not fit or does not match my current style gets donated. Now I have a clear idea of what pieces I need or want! This season I need pieces for layering and some more autumn hues. I am using Prime Wardrobe to try out some new pieces and I thought it would be fun to share what I got with you!

Our days never seem to slow down between work, school and family life. A date night was needed to help us set aside some quality time to reconnect as a couple. We had the opportunity to partner up with Datebox for a planned date night in. If you haven’t tried Datebox yet, they plan, prep and have everything paid for your date. Everything is ready to go, all you have to do is open the box.

Do you feel like meal planning is an overwhelming task? If so, I'm here to help! Meal planning doesn't have to be a headache and there is no need to plan your meals out for a whole month. Instead, we suggest starting off small and meal planning for one week at a time. Meal planning doesn't mean everything is entirely homemade either! We are big fans of grabbing a $5 pizza and some bread sticks for our family movie night. I will be sharing with y'all how I meal plan the easy way while sticking to our budget.

This past year has been a crazy roller coaster of emotions for us. I am pretty used to having a full plate, but this past year has really tested my capabilities. It was so exciting to see our vision for the shop come to life, but many times I felt overwhelmed. I wasn’t sure if I could handle the pressures of starting a small business. It was something I thought about for a long time and often day dreamed about, but I had no experience in starting or running a small business.
