The Way Home

Traveling through life documenting what matters most to our home.

Garden Party

We recently hosted a garden party Birthday for my youngest daughter’s 11th birthday. Luckily we were able to continue with the planned party before the mandated “social distancing” went into affect due to the Coronavirus threat in March.

The table is set and ready for friends to arrive. Continue reading to discover why the door is closed to the party.

If you are going to have a Garden Party, you need to serve pretzel “sticks,” cucumber sandwiches, and pretty fruit.

I found the small floral cups at Trader Joe’s and they were the perfect pop of color to plant in the white painted personalized tin cans.

Chocolate dirt cupcake jars

We found an assortment of tea cups and saucers at the thrift store to use as planters for succulent plants. The girls could pick which green succulent they wanted to plant in their tea cup. We ordered an assortment of 20 succulents from Amazon that allowed the girls to decide what plant personality they wanted to plant in their cup.

The morning of her party, Sarah Beth came running in my room saying, “I have the best idea! I want to make an escape room with clues to let everyone into the party room.” I didn’t quite understand what she had in mind, so she ran with it and hide clues around the room with a number. The girls had to line up the clues in order and tell Sarah Beth the number sequence to unlock the door. I’ve got to give her credit, it was a great idea and fun to watch the girls working together to crack the code!

In true character, Sarah Beth began planning the decor weeks ago. She gathered all my fake flowers and arranged everything just the way she wanted, complete with a garden doll canopy/tent.

Have you ever hosted a garden theme birthday party? I would love to see pictures from your party, or feel free to take and use what we pulled together for your next garden party.

Spread the love

The Next Ten Years

Around this time of year, I always reflect back on this compilation of Holiday Cards I produced for my parents over the years and thought it was time I started a new post to house the next 10 years of life at Arkadelphia Acres for my parents. Each year we continue the tradition of incorporating […]

She Will Be Missed

As I began thinking about playing along with the 2024 Spoiled Rotten Photography Personal Projects, I knew the subjects I wanted to focus on. The bond that Savannah has with our dog, Daisy. Daisy and Savannah will both miss each other next year when Savannah heads off to college! I came across this image on […]

We Praise God Through the Storm… While we would We Praise God Through the Storm…

While we would have loved to have Savannah home with us for nearly a week for a “hurrication”, a couple circumstances kept her on Florida College’s campus with a little less than half the students. We felt confident in the structural stability of the dorms and the higher ground in Temple Terrace. She was prepped and prepared for worse case scenarios and had her roommate as a companion. They had a trial run with effects from Helene just 2 weeks ago. 

I can confidently say the Florida College campus along the Hillsborough River was probably one of the most prayed over areas in the state of Florida. 

Yesterday, just hours before Milton made landfall, a group of FC moms, grandmothers, and friends met up on zoom to storm the gates of heaven with prayers for comfort and protection for our children and campus. Through it all, we were in agreement that God would be glorified through the storm and in the aftermath.

Milton made landfall sooner than projected and kept moving Eastward without stalling. While the winds and rain raged for 4+ hours, the students were able to go to bed, knowing the storm had passed and they were dry and never lost power! 

The community in central Florida is strong and I have no doubt there will be plenty of kingdom work to be done and ways to serve others in the coming days to help with clean up efforts from flooding and trees down. 

Thank you to close friends and family who were checking on us and her leading up to the storm. We felt those prayers of comfort.

This will be a memory Savannah will carry with her the rest of her life and a testament to build her faith and ability to weather the storms of life clinging to God through prayer.

One thing I LOVE about NW Arkansas are the miles of paved pathways and trails! After running a mile to the @airshipcoffee yesterday, I had to go back and run 3 miles before treating myself to another cup of coffee today.

We are all excited about her new beginning and are confident she has everything she needs to thrive!
