Style File. A Birthday Outfit Retrospective

Sweet Viv Elaine turned seven this week. Seven! My precious girl is pure JOY! Everyone who knows and loves her will tell you the same. She is a blessing to us all.

Vivian was a baby when I started sewing. Her first birthday outfit was the first design I posted in my Etsy shop, and the first piece I ever sold! For today’s STYLE FILE - I’m sharing personal photos from each of Vivian’s birthdays. It’s a joy to know my girl has celebrated all of her birthdays in a mama-made outfit!

:: Completing ::
I am working on completing my LONG to-do list before we leave for our girl’s trip this week. I’m just entering into this next phase of parenting, where my girls are old enough to really help with the vacation prep; it’s awesome! I used to worry that I’d never be ready to move past the baby-days, but I am loving this stage. The baby is almost three and the big girls are prepping to jet off for a few days with me at the beach; what a JOY!

:: Visiting ::
This week, I’m visiting South Carolina. Our home away from home. Bring on the sunshine!

:: Repeating ::

It’s too easy to caught up in the bustle of the days. To rush through the everyday moments that ultimately shape our lives. I am constantly repeating to myself “BE PRESENT” - I want joyfully experience each day and never lose sight that there is wonderful joy ahead.

:: Writing ::
I’m writing…
Journal entries for my May babies.
Love notes for C to find while we’re away.
Lesson Plans for our last month of Homeschool.
Blog posts for y’all.

:: Scheduling ::
I’m currently scheduling the next RTS limited edition upload! Save the date: May 24th! I’ll have several pieces available in a variety of ready to ship sizes and a few custom listings too!
