Lily Jade sent me a new bag and wow–I love it! It’s got pockets and more pockets and it’s roomy! It’s technically a diaper bag {it even comes with a matching changing pad!} but can be used for camera equipment and everyday things I’ve got a lot of stuff to carry so need a big, sturdy bag. How about some hellos?

  1. You look, as my mother used to say, like a million dollars. Coming across your blog yesterday was a gift that I believe I will cherish forever. I hope to return to order some of your beautiful jewellery but in the mean time, know that you and your family are firmly entrenched in my heart. Thank you!

  2. Hello to a beautiful day here in Hershey, PA… and hello to my first piece of your jewlery… the mama necklace <3 Bought it for myself as a mother's day gift 😉 I love your family's story and your Instagram feed! You are all a blessing to me! Praying for your family today, especially David! XO

  3. I love your jewelry and saw that you mentioned there is still time to order before mother’s day. Yet at check-out, shipping time for standard shipping is 1-3 weeks, so maybe not before mother’s day? I’m afraid to order if it won’t get here in time?

  4. Hello and good luck this week, Lisa! I’d say that bag is a great start to your new week!
    Hello to a fresh start after a weekend on the Oregon coast with just my little family. Hello to great memories of reconnecting that will carry us onward. Hello to articles to write, students with bad senioritis to encourage, and hello to the beach again this weekend, but with just my college BFF.
