HOCO 2026 -

Dolly is stocked and ready for your fall weekend over at The Olive Branch
🍁🍂.🧡

Since this year threw us quite a curveball, taking on homecoming orders unfortunately couldn’t even be an option for us.

However!- I tried to snag lots of colors, varieties and textures to stuff into the bouquets this week in the hopes that these sweet girls could try their hand at their own DIY bouquet😘.

Hopefully there should be a few great color options in there that will complement those beautiful dresses!

Remember, it doesn’t need to be perfect - just have fun!🥰😘

🍎🍏🍎🍏 It’s National Apple Harvest Festival month!!😍😍😍

If you know me well, you know that the Apple Harvest is one of my favorite places of all time. So much so, that I was totally willing for Harp to be born at the Apple Harvest😂
( they have a med tent, we would have figured it out 😂😳💁🏼‍♀️)

While she didn’t make her grand appearance there, she was born 5 days after this pic was taken.🥰

To celebrate the changing of the seasons and all the fun that fall brings, the wrapped bouquets at The Olive Branch have a little apple cinnamon/pumpkin spice feel to them this week. 🍁🍂🍎

Enjoy the local dahlias from Terra Farms, bronze , terra cotta and rust colored mums, broom corn, “Apple tea” carnations and more in your wrapped bouquets this week. If fall isn’t your thing, no judgement - there are some flirty pink bouquets tucked in there too with the cutest gerbera daisies🥰.

My little Apple baby turns 11 next weekend.🥹 My heart literally aches at times for when she was small! But having her help me with flowers each week before school, then sit and chat about life over drinks on the porch is pretty amazing too 🥲.

Have a great weekend!😘

… Some rainy Sunday light reading for you 😅..

I realize I’ve been very quiet on this page for quite some time. Since July, after everything that happened with my mom, we’ve been trying to catch our breath again, regain some traction on the life we had before and claw our way out of the hole it feels we’ve fallen into.

The posts I choose to make and when to make them are incredibly intentional to me on this business page. It’s so important to me what I share, and how I say it because offering light, beauty, positivity, authenticity, hope and Jesus on this little corner of the internet is what I hope to bring to you when you land on this page. It’s imperative to me that what I share through flowers and, at times, our personal life helps someone else, even just one.

I’m going to break this down into two sections. First, the update on my sweet mom and second, my recent thoughts on all this…please feel free to read whatever you’d like or skip around, or just enjoy the pics lol- (especially the last one😉) I know I’ll get lengthy here.

🤍In July after an extensive surgery we discovered that my mom has what is called a Mucinous ovarian cancer. A couple of major praises here to mention: after surgery we were told we are facing a stage 3 if not stage 4. Pathology finally came back weeks later informing us we are actually facing a stage 2 - we are so very grateful for it not being worse like we were preparing for. Second major praise is that it did not spread to her lymph nodes. Besides these two major milestones, COUNTLESS blessings have taken place.

🤍Currently, we have successfully completed two out of six chemo treatments and are praising the Lord for side effects that have been difficult but manageable.

🤍We shaved her hair last Tuesday. Harper wanted and was able to be there and watch how strong a woman can be. Our dear friend Susan Krentler walked us through this difficult chapter and made what was a horrible situation, lighthearted and safe. We got to see mom with a Mohawk, a rat tail and little crazy bangs😂🥹. We laughed and we cried and that woman sure looks beautiful in her little caps and beanies. Her blue eyes are even more stunning now.

🤍For months we’ve grieved alongside her. For her health, her body before, her beautiful silver hair, her work she had to step back from and so much more.

🤍 We have rough days, crying sessions, and sometimes deep conversations. But alongside that we are also enjoying time together that we wouldn’t have otherwise had with our work schedules. We’re enjoying the great days when we are blessed with them - especially last Tuesday for music bingo at Sign of the Horse Brewery - Hanover (love and appreciate you, Dina 😘)

🤍Ladies … ADVOCATE for your health. Fight for it. Find the providers that you feel comfortable with and that you feel really hear you… You are never wrong to ask questions and speak up for yourselves😘.

💐It’s been very clear to me for a little while now that my family has entered into what I’ve been calling “a season in the valley”….
Truth be told I clung to the mountain top very tightly and was very grateful up there! Before this diagnosis, Tanner and I literally the month before were sitting on our patio sharing a bottle of w**e talking about how good things were, how grateful we were for everyone’s health, how well his and my job were going .. we went on and on…🥺 Then we tumbled down to where we are now.

💐Which leads me to share and end with one comforting thing that keeps resonating in my mind from a song I heard just before this all happened :
”What you said on the mountain, is still true in the valley” ….
( 🎶Tasha Laton’s “Meet Me in the Valley)

…We aren’t promised an easy life or one without struggle, but I’ve heard that God promises that He will be right beside us when we face these difficult seasons. The past couple of weeks, I’ve asked the Lord to reveal to me the times He was with me ..even when I chose not to look for Him… and to help me find the beauty and blessings down here in the valley (and to please let me know when we’re on our way out of it !😅). I did tell him in a quiet prayer that I would be patient here in this season for however long we are here and would share the blessings that are still finding their way to us … so with that … please enjoy what’s been our little life lately and scroll to the last picture to see our biggest blessing of hope.

Please know I’m thinking of you , whoever you might be , reading this thinking that you too are in this dark valley … you will be ok down here 😉 seasons change all the time and so do circumstances. And if we take a minute to catch our breath after our fall, and open our eyes to look around, we can see that it’s still pretty down here, that He is still here with us and that blessings still are given, even if they don’t look like what we prayed or hoped for. 🤍

All my love
P|H.

Harper and I snuck in early to The Olive Branch this morning to fill our sweet Dolly girl with 30+ fresh wrapped bundles for your upcoming weekend🤍.

You’ll see an assortment of soft pastel colors through blooms like: “Baby Flow” lavender spray roses, “Apple Tea” standard carnations, peach and pink statice, “Bohemian” Alstromeria and more as they start to melt into familiar touches of fall through filler flowers like “Candy corn” solidago, “Orange sea berry “celosia and sunflowers.
-All wrapped with love and positive thoughts for you and your families 😘

☕️And a special thank you to Cultivated Coffee for such a good start to our day. After we dropped off the flowers, Harp and I grabbed drinks from the sweetest baristas and got to enjoy a quiet morning together on the porch sipping on lovingly made drinks, chatting and just enjoying our time together before I took her to school -( 5th grade!??😭🥹)
Time is flying and I’m so grateful for the opportunity to enjoy the little moments that mean so much.

Have a beautiful end to your week and a restful weekend ahead 🤍💐

Dolly is stocked with beautiful summer color and ready to greet you as you walk through the doors of The Olive Branch today 🤍.

As our family navigates this new season we’ve unfortunately been asked to walk through, I will be doing my best to keep a gentle rhythm of weekly bouquets available there - Thursdays have always been the usual day for bouquets but I’ll be honest and say that this year could throw some curve balls into my best laid plans.

So I continue to thank you for your patience and all the love shown to us.

I realize it’s been quite some time since my last update about my mama- which I am hopeful to share soon. In the meantime I will say that while we still have an uphill battle ahead of us, the Lord has been near (always).
Please continue to keep us in your prayers.

💐All our love !

🤍Our family update for those that are wishing to follow along.

Grateful to share some good news with you today and continue to ask for prayers in our upcoming week. As of Monday evening, my sweet mama is finally getting to rest and recover in her own home. After 6 nights in the hospital, Im not sure how to even begin to explain to you the week that we just experienced.

After surgery was completed last Tuesday, the surgeons spoke with my dad and I about what all occurred in surgery. The mass was bigger and messier than expected and it was a disappointing sight for them as well. A pint of blood was needed along with other procedures to save affected organs. This left us scared, heartbroken and questioning our capabilities.

Throughout the week, she required a blood transfusion to get her blood count back up from surgery. This went horribly wrong the first time leaving her with an incredibly low blood pressure that made them stop the transfusion-an interaction in medication before the transfusion seemed to be the culprit. She received the pint of blood successfully the next day. She battled extreme nausea, issues with drain tubes, physical therapy and much more.

*I want to take this pause to apologize to anyone who reached out that I may have missed updating as we were going through all this. We saw your messages and appreciated your love and concern deeply.

This week is our post-op meeting with the surgeons where we learn what kind of cancer this really is and our battle plan on how we begin to fight it.

If I went into details about my faith’s journey this week this post would be pages longer than it already is. But I will say that the Lord did show up. In the quietest places. Though honestly at first I couldn’t find or feel Him. And if I’m really really honest ??…. I was so angry and so very hurt that I wasn’t even looking for Him…And I say that being 41 years old as a strong believer sincerely my whole life. Those that know me well can attest to my faith’s tolerance. There have been many bumps in my life’s path long before this day including my mom’s very first battle with breast cancer 16 years ago. This week however took me down to my knees.

Throughout the week I softened to start looking for His movement in our lives and I began to see Him -through the nurses we met, the words from the surgeon, songs mom and I woke up with in our minds, devotionals that seemed to be spot on to our current situation, amazing and healing conversations with friends and my husband, and a sweet interaction with another patient who joined me as I sat in the windowsill outside mom’s room and asked me to pray with him.

I’ve been humbled beyond words to even explain it to you. I don’t know what the future brings this week. I pray for God only to be near to us and continue to provide wisdom, discernment and guidance for the care regarding my mom.

If you’re in the darkness as well, angry and mistrusting- I’ve been told He already knows it and our thoughts. Make it known to Him , yell, scream, say all the things out loud and get it out. I’ve been told He has big shoulders and a good plan.

I don’t even know how to express our gratitude for the meals, the messages, the check-ins, the care packages…the patience from my sweet customers regarding flowers.
We are in tears each day over the kindness friends family and even strangers have shown us.
Thank you 🤍

Good afternoon🤍, a little flower update:

💐I will be taking a small pause on our fresh wrapped bouquets that I take weekly to The Olive Branch. They will return to Dolly the week of August 17th. Thank you so much for your patience and understanding.

In the meantime I’d love to share one of my favorite places with you. I encourage you to actually make the time and enjoy this experience.
Terra Farms has opened their amazing farm to the public again this summer. You can walk their grounds, strolling alongside the flowers they so lovingly planted and pick the ones you want to bring home with you to enjoy. I tell Loni all the time that her farm is special and healing🤍.

Lastly, I’m trying to formulate my words here regarding my sweet mama- this will be for another post.
However, as of last evening she is now finally home after our 6 night stay at the hospital …
Your prayers and love were felt in the darkest moments of this week which unfortunately there were many. We continue to thank you and are so grateful that she is starting to turn a corner toward healing and recovery. ❤️‍🩹

Tonight I’m going to begin the update on my mom with words her surgeon told my dad and I this afternoon-
“God is still good and prayer still works.”

We didn’t receive the miracle we were so fiercely praying and hoping for today.
Our surgeon however thankfully removed 90% of a cancerous tumor that has been plaguing my mother. The rest will be eradicated through chemotherapy. As cancer does, it tried to make its way into other places and because of this, part of her colon needed to be removed to save it.
Certainly not the news we were hoping for.
We will wait to learn more over the coming days about its origin, staging and plans for treatment but right now we focus on rest and recovery.

🤍Tanner and I, my mom and dad and our whole family continue to thank you all for your love and prayers. I apologize I don’t have more words of insight or information to share tonight. We’re in a bit of a fog over here and going to take it day by day.

I sure hope this posts and that you’re able to see it and listen to this song with me tonight🤍. Especially if you are going through your own difficult season of worry or fear.
This evening we are preparing for surgery tomorrow for my precious mom. We got the call this afternoon that our start time is 10:45am. We are ready.

I want to thank each and every single one of you for your love, prayers, support, songs you’ve sent, inspirational posts that made you think of us, cards, every text, message and every call. We absolutely feel the love and your prayers and honestly… it’s what has kept us going this week. I’m sincerely so glad I shared our personal situation with such incredible prayer warriors. We have been so blessed by you.

This evening we are sincerely filled with a sense of calm, peace and hope that only the Lord can provide- just like He said He would, and at just the right time.

For those interested and asking, I will absolutely update you tomorrow afternoon when we finally know more. However… the Lord already knows it all and has prepared the way for us.

🤍💐🤍
“So I brought it up in a desperate prayer
Lord, why are you keeping me here?
Then He said to me, "Child, I'm planting seeds
I'm a good God and I have a good plan
So trust that I'm holding a watering can
And someday you'll see that flowers grow in the valley
So whatever the reason, I'm barely getting by
I'll trust it's a season knowing that you're by my side
Every step of the way
And I'll be okay”
