Mother's Day Printable

Today I am excited to share this Mother's Day printable that Diana has come up with! I love her reasoning for picking this quote and I'm sure all our Mothers could use this reminder that they are doing a good job!

I've been thinking a lot about Motherhood and what it means to me exactly especially since Mother's Day is just in 2 weeks.  I think moms all around the world set expectations for themselves that are just too hard to meet and we beat ourselves down.  The best days for me as a mother, are when I become more involved in my kids lives rather than trying hard to get everything done.  I heard this quote a few weeks ago and it has stuck with me ever since.  I feel like we are amazing mothers and there are SO many ways to be one.  This print is downloadable in an 8x10 size and would make a great gift for any mother in your life because we all feel this sense of overwhelming task we have to complete in order to be the best mom! Happy Mother's Day and enjoy this free downloadable print!

Last Week's Links


If you follow me on instagram (@kirstenkrason) you know that we spent most of last week in St. George, Utah. It was delightful. We spent our time hiking, swimming and hitting up cool vintage shops! I did manage to pin some fun stuff and browse my favorite blogs while we were gone. Here are the links I was loving last week. 



1 | I am in love with this image from the latest Country Living Magazine
2 | I'm craving a cool wedge like this for summer.
3 | Last week I rounded up some of my favorite children's products over at A Lovely Lark.
4 | This DIY art project will blow your mind.
5 | Love this beautiful little bath hook project.
6 | These are the perfect "everyday" earrings.
7 | This fantasticly cute roll up chalkboard makes me smile.
8 | Great roundup of the Top Ikea Hacks from 2012.
9 | This is my new motto.
10 | This is the coolest/comfiest skirt. I can't get enough of black and white lately!

Feature Friday: The Lilypad Cottage

Today I am featuring the home of Kelly from the blog, The Lilypad Cottage. Here is what she says she loves most about her home:

"The thing I love most about my home is that it's located on the lake where I spent all my summers growing up.  My parents live down the street and my brother a few doors down, so we are surrounded by family.  After living in all over the place the last few years and moving multiple times, it was great to come back home and put down roots.  We were so blessed to design and build the house to fit our family perfectly and I'm so happy my kids get to spend their childhood splashing in the lake too!"

Enjoy!
