REFLECTIONS ON BALANCE | 🤍

This spring has been a wild ride to say the least, and over the past month I’ve found myself amidst my two worlds colliding. It’s not often that my day job and the flower farm merge together in any capacity, let alone anything even landscape related on my projects I work on.

A few years ago, in my day job I got to learn a bit about SITES certification and work on a cool project at the Detroit Zoo. I realized there that my love of design/building and landscapes can overlap, if pursued persistently.

Fast forward to this week and my first couple of days working my new job where I get to help design interiors and learn more about exteriors, pools, and help execute some really cool projects!

We’re moving with great intention this year, with every move being arguably too over calculated; I think that’s great this time around though. Opposed to chasing all of the income streams (markets, subscriptions, farmers market, weddings, etc) we’re going to continue to do what we’re good at: put flowers into the hands of those who need them, sharing nature and hands-on experiences with kids and adults alike (including Bloomhaven rentals for photography 📸), and serving our growing list of amazing brides! I’m thankful we made the decisions we did about our business for 2025 because they’re making space for both creative ventures with MFC but for my career growth as well! It’s all about balance, right? ✨

The coolest part about owning a business is that no day is the same and it’s ever evolving to serve both us and our customers in the best capacity we can. Instead of burning the candle at both ends this year, I’ve been leaning into what I know and do well - both here and at work.

Business ownership looks different for us all - even those of us in the same industry! And that being said, if you’ve had an idea brewing maybe you should just do it? Because worst case, Plan A doesn’t work exactly how you think, but maybe Plan B or C is just what you need! And on our “official” year three, we’re definitely onto something with the magic recipe for balancing what works for us here. 🫶

Hope you’re enjoying the beautiful weather and sunshine today!🌸

Wrapping up some wholesale orders today after a flop of a tulip season - it’s all part of farming after all, and a backup plan is never a bad thing.😊

We took a gamble this year on second year tulip bulbs and it didn’t work out great honestly, but next year I should have a substantial number of pretty ones in my landscaping after we move them out of their raised beds!🤪

We’ll have spring Mother’s Day bouquets at this weekend and are in the midst of planning something amazing for you guys with Lexie there!🤍

May is Mental Health Awareness Month 🤍

Just wanted to tell you that nobody is perfect, and life’s too short to be too tough on yourself.

Don’t forget to make time for yourself - today and always. You deserve it!🌸

Happy Love Week!🤍

This is honestly my favorite IG trend of all time, and I’ve been anxious about doing my own version of it because it feels raw and vulnerable.

But then I remembered a few things…

Many of you have shared some of your most raw, emotional, and vulnerable moments with me; you’ve trusted me with your weddings, funerals, and everything in between. And for that I am so, so grateful.🥲

It also got me thinking about a mini yoga retreat I did a few years ago… in it, we did a meditation where we were to visualize ourselves at different ages, through different phases and times of our lives.

And we were to remember what each version of ourselves needed at each phase, offering whatever it was to the “little me”.

I remember wrapping up that meditation and being moved to tears, and opening my misty eyes to complete the journaling piece of the activity. I looked up and saw over 30 other women experiencing the same thing.

A few people shared what they envisioned and what their “younger selves” needed. Collectively, we all realized it was the same thing for each woman in the room: love, safety, and assurance.

It sounds cheesey, but it was then that I promised myself that I would do my very best (even when it’s scary - especially when it’s scary!) to set an example that my kids could look up to, and to offer them as much love, safety, and assurance as possible while I can.

Some days are hard, and none of us are perfect - God, are we all flawed. But I presume that if we try our damndest, our kids will know and they will feel it, knowing they’ll make their younger selves proud too.

🌸🌸🌸

Here’s to making our younger selves proud, and for being creative and unique in only the best of ways. And to using these gifts to pave a path for the little eyes who are watching our every move.
