The other night during one of our flower arranging workshops, someone asked me why I started growing flowers and hosting workshops.
Without really thinking, I said, “To give me something to do.”
She laughed because she knows me… and knows I already have plenty to do. But later that night I realized what I actually meant.
It’s not about needing more to do. It’s about needing something that fills me.
As moms, so much of our life revolves around everyone else. And while we love our families wholeheartedly, it’s easy to lose sight of what makes us feel alive outside of taking care of everyone else.
For me, flowers became that thing. A creative outlet. A challenge. A place for my brain to land. And honestly, there are moments when I’m running around getting everything ready thinking, “Why do I do this to myself?” 😂
But the truth is, the best things in life usually aren’t easy. I want my kids to see that building something meaningful takes work, risk, sacrifice, and choosing the harder route sometimes.
And that’s why I love these workshops so much. Yes, we arrange flowers. But it’s also women taking a couple hours for themselves to laugh, create, slow down, and remember they matter too.
So this Mother’s Day, I just hope moms take a second to ask themselves:
Am I doing anything that gives me butterflies?
Anything that lights me up?
Anything that reminds me who I am outside of what everyone needs from me?
Not because it’s practical.
Not because everyone around you understands it.
But because feeling alive matters too.
Happy Mother’s Day to all you beautiful Mommas! 🤗
