Salted maple latte:
1 Tablespoon real maple syrup, we love this one from Costco
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste from Trader Joe’s
2 shots espresso
Steamed milk, I prefer whole milk
1/2 Tablespoon collagen (optional) I like @perfectsupplements
A pinch of flaky salt, I’m using @maldonsalt

Pull your shots over maple syrup & vanilla paste, whisk together just until combined, don’t over do it or it will be super frothy. Add steamed milk, collagen and stir with a spoon to combine. Add a pinch of salt and stir once more until incorporated. Enjoy! #wearethehomemakers #saltedmaplelatte

We’re thrilled to announce our precious daughters birth!
Malia Rae Manzanares was born at 10:07 am on Saturday, March 26th.
She weighs 7lbs 6oz and is 20.5 inches long. To say we’re obsessed is an understatement. God has been so faithful to us! We love you, baby girl ♥️ #MaliaRaeManzanares

I found this gem on my camera roll from three years ago. THREE YEARS. How is that possible? Time is a wild thing. My art has changed and I’ve stretched myself in different areas and I’ve even had to put it in the back burner during this time of our lives.

Motherhood, family and ministry is my priority and I know that one day I’ll be able to get back to creating pieces for my shop more regularly. I still sneak it in when I can! For now, I’ll still be here but I’ll be sharing more motherhood and less art. Thanks for sticking around and I hope that you’re inspired and encouraged by my feed and my stories as well ♥️

Ps do any of you remember these mini slices? Better yet, do you have one?! 🥰

Packing our last hospital bag has been a bit surreal! 🥰 It’s hard to believe this is my last pregnancy but I’m constantly reminded of God’s faithfulness to us when I look at the faces of my littles. I’m so thankful!

Are the post Christmas blues hitting you? Yes, Christmas is over, the busyness of the season is coming to a sudden end but the reason we celebrate doesn’t have to. Jesus is still here. He’s still working in us and His peace, joy, comfort and hope are available for you TODAY and every day. Thank you, Jesus ✨

Look how darling this family is, I especially enjoyed painting the details: the baby girls plaid dress, the polka dot shirt + mamas textured dress ♥️ What a gift it is to paint these special keepsakes for you!

We had groceries delivered to our door yesterday morning! What is this life? I know I’m probably way behind on this but the game has been changed 😂🙌🏼

We survived another week of homeschooling and this mama heart is rejoicing! Watching my little man learn and enjoy learning has been such a delight to me.

I’ve been working on orders and feeling so thankful for each little detail I get to paint on these ornaments. This one is definitely a favorite of mine 🥰👏🏼♥️

🎄I know I’ll get some more DM’s about ornaments, so I’ll just leave this here. I’m not accepting any new ornament orders. If you placed an order, you’ll receive it in time for Christmas! I will have more custom ornaments available after the holiday’s! Of course, I’ll be sure to share when with you so you don’t miss out!🎄

I’m forever thankful for your support ♥️

I can’t get over how cute my new little nephew is 🥰 We we’re all shocked because he weighed 10 pounds when he was born 😬 He takes the cake for being the biggest baby in our family!

I’m still in awe of my sister, she’s amazing! She had a home birth and delivered him naturally 👏🏼 I was also born at home and I thought it would be incredible to have my babies naturally and at home also.

But that wasn’t able to happen, due to my rare uterus shape, my first two babies were breech and I had to have c-sections.

Sometimes our plans don’t work out the way we want them to and that’s okay. I’m just so thankful for modern medicine and that I’ve been able to have healthy babies, it’s a miracle! ♥️

So tell me, if you’re a mama, how did you have your babies? If you’re planning on having more, how would you do things differently? Are you all about the pain meds or do you like the natural options? Home or hospital? Let’s chat! #babyannouncement #newbaby #homebirth #proudauntie #babyfever #hospitalbirth #csection #naturalbirth

It’s Mother’s Day weekend! Many of you are celebrating motherhood and the gift it is, it’s such a wonderful gift. At times it’s exhausting and I know that well. I’m cheering you on because being a mama IS a full time job and you’re probably doing a whole lot better than you give yourself credit for! 💐

This holiday can be a hard one for many and if you’re struggling I want you to know, you’re seen and you’re not forgotten. Many women have miscarried, lost a child, lost a mother, have a strained relationship with a mother or daughter and those things can be so painful.
•
I remember Mother’s Day after I had a few miscarriages, before we had Azariah. Those were tough. It can be painful to see what others have and desire it so badly and not have it yourself. I’ve been there, friend.
•
I remember a dear friend sent me a card one Mother’s Day after I had multiple losses, it was a simple card just letting me know that she saw me and I was so special and not forgotten. I’ll never forget that!
•
If I could, I would send you a card to let you know, you’re seen, you’re loved and you’re not forgotten this Mother’s Day! I hope my miracle, rainbow babies give you some hope to not give up. God is able. He sees you and loves you so very much 🤍🌞🌸
