Mason Jar Love

Every Southern girl has an appreciation for the mason jar.
 
 It's simple qualities are not only unique but a staple. May sound crazy to some, but every Southern knows what I'm talking about :D
 
Not only are they used to drink that perfect glass of sweet tea
 
 
 
or for canning your favorites.
 
 
 
 
 
But, here's some more ways to use these wonderful jars.
 
 
 


 
You can find these on Etsy

 
 
I made this exact drinks for my son's birthday party and put in a washtub with ice last year.
I was a big hit!

 


 
Every picnic needs a fresh lemonade drink!




                        I have to say....I love everyone of these ideas as much as I love mason jars!
 
Hope you can try some of these out!
Thanks Ya'll :D

For my Husband


Jackson Alan Padgett



I hope to continue this tradition for both of my children every year.

I decided every year I'm going to make videos for my children. Something that they can look back on and always cherish. Don't take life for granted. And, I want to make sure that if something ever happens to me, my children will always have these videos collected from their childhood, family memories and even adulthood later so they know how loved they are and they never forget it.
This video is based over a couple of years.
 But, every year I'll put together a video  throughout the year for my kids.

Winter Storm Brutus

 
We had 1 foot of snow this weekend and let me tell ya, it was beautiful. To wake up in the morning, look out your windows and see blankets of satiny fields of snow was a sight to see! Downside was being stuck inside most of the weekend because of the strong winds and cold, cold temperatures!
But, when we were able to go outside we had so much fun!
Snowballs and snow angels were the best parts!

Haha :D

 
Checkout her feet!

Thankful : Day 12

 I'm thankful that we had the courage to do homeschooling and so blessed at how it is changing our lives. Homeschooling has been one of the best decisions as a parent we've ever made. Everyday my children's learning is focused around God's word and I'm so proud of that.
