Model Day at Collectiv (Mama's Turn)!

Nothing like a little painting to start her cosmetology school journey off on a great note! xo 

First Day

 

Have an amazing first day, Grace! Be curious, be kind, ask questions and have an amazing year! xo 

Today

Orientation

 

Grace had orientation today and begins her journey into the world of cosmetology officially on Monday! We are so, so excited for her and love that she's following in her Gramma Terri and Great-Grandma Rose's footsteps as well! xo

Last One of the Season

 

These gorgeous jewel tones are the perfect way to end Small Farm's flower CSA season! Thankfully we have two more "pick your own" bouquets to make since we were part of all three seasonal flower shares this year. It will be wonderful to have a couple of more bouquets, but this time made by the girls, before the winter arrives. We are eagarly anticipating the arrival next year's CSA season already! xo 

Good Morning!

In which I cannot resist capturing this sweet early morning moment with Emma and Violet.xo
