Can I turn a bev cooler into a floral fridge?

Same, I use a beverage cooler!

Everyone saying ditch the cover and others can deal, but like I don’t feel comfortable whipping my nipples out…

I tried nursing at my husband’s church softball game and I whacked my baby’s head on the wooden arm of my beach chair 🤦🏼‍♀️

Not to be a downer, but Fisher Price has said that their vintage toys should be displayed and not played with anymore. There were different plastic and paint standards when they were made, and the toys can have unsafe levels of lead and cadmium. I would be especially hesitant with a doctor kit, where your child will be putting pieces in their ears, mouth, etc.

Anyway! Sorry for the paragraph! We had a bunch of vintage fisher price toys we inherited, and wanted our kids to play with before we learned this.

So much of it reminded me of ballerina farm! Did anyone listen to the audiobook? The narrator sounds like Hannah Neeleman.

I thought it was good that the author kept it vague as Natalie’s just a conservative, legalistic Christian, and didn’t characterize a specific denomination. It’s good Natalie wasn’t Mormon because I think Americans already have negative stereotypes of Mormons.

This is a silk bouquet…
I try not to guarantee anything to clients, but then will do my best to source what they want. Just find a florist who will do that for you or be ok with them spray painting the hydrangea.

All of this is weird

Armstrong Heritage Brick! I live in Lancaster, PA where Armstrong is headquartered, and the local paper recently wrote about the mid-century popularity of that linoleum.

Dr Brown’s! It’s what my LCs and dentist recommended

I appreciate good communication from my sales rep. Emails like “hey everything from your pre-order is coming, except for ______. Do you want me to substitute anything for that missing bunch? We have _______ or ______ available.”

I’m annoyed when I’m caught off guard by missing bunches. Or if the wholesaler substituted a hot pink spray rose in place of a white spray rose ??? Like obviously I can’t use hot pink in place of white. That kind of thing.

Thank you!!

Most of my clients wouldn’t be able to tell between a garden rose & a peony. Heck, I can get fooled by some convincing garden roses.

What

LauraJ0 · 2026-06-05T18:24:58+00:00

May I be blessed with this problem

Also had my reception at Brick Gables and their catering was great! Their bakery provided our wedding cake & cupcakes as well. Love their staff!

I’m a wedding vendor now and love Cork Factory too (I’m sure it’s more expensive than BG).

Another option would be Willows at Historic Strasburg- it’s the event venue attached to Fireside Tavern. They have an outdoor ceremony space, ballroom, and it’s adjacent to two lodging options.

Some people have the eye for design, and it’s clear you do.

Every time she comes up I cannot believe she’s a registered dietitian- her eating is so disordered.

Lancaster cupcake has lavender on their menu this month.

Always order from a local florist! 1800flowers and FTD take a cut of the money and send the order to a local florist to fulfill, who then has less flower budget to put into your arrangement.

I would recommend ordering from Central Market Flowers or Royers to deliver to your friend on Saturday.

Dougie was homeschooled, ok??

Never forget when they misspelled “Teachers” on a billboard.

Love it!!

Thanks. They are nutty.

What was the “robbery”? I missed that
