October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and this month will always mean something different to me.

Once you’ve heard the words “you have breast cancer,” awareness becomes much more than a pink ribbon.

I’m grateful to be here. Grateful for another October. Grateful for the life I get to live, the people I love, the work I get to create, and all of the ordinary days that I probably appreciate a little differently now.

This month, I’ll be thinking about the women still going through treatment, those living with metastatic breast cancer, the survivors, and the families walking alongside them.

And as always, a reminder to take care of yourself and stay on top of your screenings.

A closer look at one of the storybook centerpieces.

I’ve loved reading all of your comments and questions about how I created these floral book centerpieces for a storybook-themed baby shower. I honestly didn’t expect these little book centerpieces to get so much attention.

So many of you have asked for a tutorial, and yes, I’m going to share one. I have a wedding this week, so it may take me a little time to put it together, but it’s coming.

We put so much pressure on ourselves to have everything happen when we think it should. But not everything that takes longer is a delay. Sometimes things are still coming together in ways we can’t see yet.
