Spring is heeeeere! I love spring because it means summer is just around the corner. Days are getting longer and warmer and it is the prettiest time of the year. (You can find a post about my favorite spring flowers here)
With things around me finally becoming more open I thought it would be fun to put together some spring outfit inspo.
Taking 3 different pieces and styling each for both a casual look and a dressy statement look.

The Lenten Season has begun! So I thought it would be the PERFECT time to talk about Pillar and Pearl and show you the super cute curated box I just got.

Pillar and Pearl is a Catholic company that collaborates with over 100 Catholic makers and companies to sell cute faith-inspired items. Stickers, printables, their main curated gift boxes, and more!
Boxes they sell include Saints, home, ones based on Sacraments like Baptism.
They also now have a Box Subscription to get a new box curated for each Liturgical Season. How cool!

Everyone has watched Wizard of Oz and knows how each of the main Oz characters has something they want to ask the wizard for. Dorothy wants to go home. The Scarecrow wants a brain, the Tin Man a heart, and the Lion some courage.
“We’re off to see the Wizard, the Wonderful Wizard of Oz”
I have always thought I was Dorothy; who doesn’t want to be the main character, but rewatching it a few weeks ago, I realized something. I am not Dorothy. I’m actually the Cowardly Lion.
The character you like but don’t want to be. Who wants to be the one who is afraid of everything. But I am.
The story begins with a girl wanting to try her hand at learning a useful skill. As a typical movie plotline goes, it includes the fun beginning moments and excitement, and then goes headfirst into the downhill spiral that is the confrontation.
You know, the moments in the middle where hope seems lost and you aren’t quite sure how it will all turn out in the end.
In this case, the confrontation begins and ends with an evil antagonist known as the sewing machine, bent on the demise of our main character’s hopes, dreams, and patience.
I am that girl. That was my sewing machine. And this is that story.

Cheers to the TWO YEAR blogiversary of Thoughts and Daisies!
Where in the world did the time go? It feels like last week that I was creating the post for year one. I still can’t believe that two years ago I hit publish on my first Thoughts and Daisies post. My writing has come a long way since that first post and I have faith that it is going to continue to grow.
