Life In Rose Farm

I hooted and hollered. I cheered. And…I may have even cursed a little 🫣🤣 But y’all… I had the BEST Mother’s Day weekend just sitting back and watching my girl leave it all on the volleyball court 🏐 Oh, and winning second place overall in the Gold bracket finish was the icing on the cake 🍰

For the last 6 years, Mother’s Day weekend has looked a whole lot different around here — delivering bouquets all over town, hosting Afternoon Teas, setting up Rose Bar, and working through one of the busiest weekends of our entire season here at the farm.

So this year felt different. Slower. Sweeter. A little unfamiliar, if I’m being honest.

Part of me felt guilty… like I should be working, because this is usually go-time in the rose world. But the other part of me knew this was A GIFT — one I wasn’t supposed to miss. 🥹

After the weekend-long regional tournament, my family took me to an early sushi dinner, and I came home and treated myself to some of my rarer home-grown roses. Because if there’s one thing about me… I will always find my way back to the garden 🌱

This Mother’s Day looked different than the last several years, but maybe that’s what made it so special.

A little rest. A LOT OF GRATITUDE. And a quiet feeling that God may be using this pause to prepare me for something, dare I say, even greater ahead 🙏

Turns out, the best bouquet I got this Mother’s Day was getting to watch my girls bloom. 🥹🏐🌹And boy do both of them make this mama so humbled and proud at the same time!

Sending virtual love and many beautiful wishes to all my kickass mamas, mamas to-be, and papas who have to play both roles!

Happiest to you all!! 💐

Sending EXTRA LOVE and good vibes to all my gals longing for this day and others longing for their mamas. My heart is with you 💝
