Meet the Magnolias

We're off to a good start together! I have had the sweetest week full of love, laughter, tasty food, and the best hearts. So thankful to each one of you who helped turning 30 feel even better than I could have hoped! Sunday, May 15, Cat, Lyndsey, and I saw Mother's Day! (Yes, I saw it twice. So cute!) Monday, May 16, I had Mexican food for dinner with some of my bible study friends! Somehow, this is the only picture we took! Wednesday, May 18, I turned 30!!!!!!!!!!!! I knew we would be having a work lunch, but I didn't expect to be showered in love as soon as I arrived! My cake and Tinkerbell wand at work! #spoiled  My sweet friend Melissa spent my birthday at Disney, but she still thought of me! Made my day! We had a wonderful lunch of Mexican favorites! Then, my amazing boss and division gave me a basket full of 30 snacks! #butwait #summerisforswimsuits My sister got home from a choir trip to Orlando on my birthday, and I w

LOVE you, Jessica @jesstinybird

My sweet little blog is FOUR years old! You can read the very first post here . As you can tell, I haven't blogged daily or managed to turn this into a source of income, but I still really love that I have my own little space on the internet. Here's to another year of trying to prioritize and make this space even more my own! Love y'all, Jessica @jesstinybird

May is here! I turn 30 two weeks from today, so this month is full of celebrations and fun.  I was eager to link up with Anne and Jenna for this month, of course! Be sure to comment and tell me what you're currently up to.  I'm currently celebrating: the arrival of summer weather in Mississippi; all the mama's I know on Mother's Day; MY 30th BIRTHDAY (on May 18)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!; my soul sister Lauren turning 30 on May 21; my sister finishing 9th grade and having a break! I'm currently reading: Wild and Free (I actually just finished it yesterday but can't say enough about how it rocked my heart, mind, and life. If you are a woman who feels like too much and/or never enough, this book is for YOU.) The Crown - the final book in the Selection series by  Kiera Cass . Yesterday was a busy Tuesday, so my sweet husband went to Barnes and Noble to grab it for me! #thanksbug I'm currently pondering: how to wr
