Random thoughts on a rainy Saturday morning:
1. I’m heading out to a baseball game. I can’t help it. I miss is so much. My son played his last high school baseball game last year and now I’m going to watch my nephew.
It’s true what they say. Life goes on after this dirt.
2. I just got back from Tulsa where I designed the second product line. I can’t WAIT for all of you to see it. I have two hints: blue and white and dining room table.
3. It was an amazing week on the blog. We styled our glass front kitchen cabinets and made monogrammed planters and created a mini black and white grocery store with its own fruit stand.
4. I am sitting here typing this post wearing bell bottoms. Yes. I said it. BELL BOTTOMS. I missed them the first time around, but this time? I’m representing.
5. And just in case no one else has mentioned it today? You are amazing.
I wanted you to know now.

Becoming is all about crafting and creating and decorating and making and laughing and just BEING. And it’s SO AFFORDABLE. It’s from Friday to Sunday, July 26-28 and it’s only $100. That’s right. $100 for the WEEKEND.
You will leave renewed and refreshed and equipped with amazing tools to make your life simpler and sweeter and a little brighter.
You can find more details at the Becoming website for lodging options or you can follow along with their facebook page here.
And here’s the BEST PART!

I wish I had heard of Becoming. It sounds awesome in a beautiful place. Already committed to going to Haven, but will have to consider Becoming Conference for next year.
Hi Karianne! Congratulations on the new line! You must be tickled pink?! I’m so happy for you!!! 😊. I just read your little segment about life after this dirt and it brought back so many memories of taking my son to his games, cheering him on etc... it all started with T ball. I wasn’t even aware you had a son! lol! I’m fairly new to your blog so I guess I’ve missed posts where you’ve mentioned having kids other than the twins. Girl, I’ve got some catching up to do, haha! Also loved the segment about downsizing, which is what’s up next for me. Eek! Thanks for a great post, and again, congratulations! Have a great Sunday! 😊
What a wonderful edition of Thistlekeeping! The dried flower tutorial is going to be a girls night craft!! Congratulations on the new line!!! xoxo
