I’m and wife and mother to 2 boys with another on the way 🤍🤍🤍
Here I share my love of DIY, thrifting, and homemaking. We are in the middle of renovating our 1970s Spanish, Florida home. I share my faith along the way and always hope to encourage you!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful birth story. May God bless you! And may he continue to honor your desire to have a large family. I have one sibling, and God answered my prayers for a big family, of 8 children. We are hoping for one more through adoption.
Cleaning the vase- equal parts sugar and crushed ice. Pour both in, swirl and swirl and swirl. Gets out burnt coffee pots, old glass stains etc every time.
To clean your vase, put some uncooked rice and a cup of water in it and cork it. Shake vigorously and the rice will remove the dirt from the inside of your vase! It worked great for coffee stains inside my husband's stainless coffee carafe which is very tall and has a narrow opening. Great tips for buying on Facebook marketplace!
Hi Emily, Today was wonderful. As someone with a background in nursing, I truly appreciate the great work you did for the residents. I did something similar this past Thanksgiving, hosting 12 people, which was more than usual. Typically, I have no more than 6 guests, but this year, all the kids came with their spouses or significant others. I creatively mix-matched my 6 beautiful pumpkin placemats with my 6 wicker ones, using an off-white floral tablecloth and a fabric runner, similar to yours. I adorned the table with small brass candle holders, tiny vases with flowers, and tea lights. It was stunning. I have a collection of ivory, red, and blue transferware from antique and thrift stores, which I combined with clear plates for a lovely presentation. I even cooked a seven-course meal all by myself! Please keep me in your prayers as chemo is so hard on my guy. I'm working hard and staying positive. Have a wonderful vacation! The baby is absolutely precious and growing so fast. I wear dresses like the first one you tried on for us all the time-they are so cozy. Take care! Oh I’m ordering that fan ❤👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙋🏻♀️🧡🧡🧡
Thank you Susan! Your table scape sounds lovely!! I love an intentional, eclectic look 😍 very impressed you cooled the whole thing. I opt for potlucks currently 😅 and I am so sorry you all have been having a hard time 🙏🏻
@@EmilyGarbe see when I graduated HS. I lived in San Francisco and went to culinary cooking school. I’m super anal about germs and my food and my kitchen BUT, this year everyone brings something and I’ll make the turkey and my Puerto Rican Rice, the others can bring the rest. I’ll be 63 in October so I’m being intentional now. Mama has to do mama now lol……. Plus with my partner being in this situation I’ve been working around the clock. Thank god I worked in oncology and infectious disease sigh. I’m just sad I’m not a GMA yet. My son was with a woman younger than him by 7 years ( immature) he married her after dating 10 years. She promised children and they were trying , he walked into her bathroom and she had birth control pills out. He was done… she was lying to him for 5 years so he spent 15 years with her in total. He came to me crying … he loves children and really wanted a family. He is going to be 41 and has a new girlfriend he actually went to college with her. She is 2 years older than him and can not have children. 😳😳he adores her so that makes my heart happy. As for my girl, she is only 21…. So I’m sure it will be a while. Keep praying honey I have many people praying month 2 of chemotherapy almost done ✅🙋🏻♀️🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗❤️🧡❤️🧡❤️🧡🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Oh my goodness that table looks amazing Emily, I love it! God bless you and your sweet family! Also those outfits were so very pretty, you definitely have a great style 👍🙏❤️🤗
On the small mouth glass vase..try filling it with water and dropping in a denture cleaner (such as Effordent, etc) with whitener. You may have to break the tablet to get it inside but they usually work pretty well.
Table is so cute! Love how you are so “down to earth”…very refreshing! So nice of you to invite those who have no families yet…very kind and generous ❤️
It’s really really nice & elegant it took me awhile to learn simple is always much more beautiful and classy I love it I’m so copying that dark green fabric for a runner it’s also in my opinion a neutral color that could easily pair with so many different colors ❤
