Thankful for a weekend respite with my girl @windyhillfarmtn 🌿

@windyhillfarmtn is only about 2.5 hours from Nashville and would make the perfect getaway gift! @windyhillfarmtn is a farm, Preserve and hunting getaway sitting on 650 acres along the Tennessee River!

The resort provides guests with complimentary golf carts! This may have been LC’s favorite part!! We had the best time cruising around the farm!

And of course ending the evening with s’mores around the 🔥

I cherish these times away and thankful for the opportunity to slow down and soak in these days! ✨

Ok…I’m breaking “my” rules of sharing Christmasy things {even before Halloween} but I had so much fun making this ornament topiary with @parkerkennedyliving @lydiamenziescelebrates that I decided to just go for it in case any of you may want to make one!!

Materials needed:
Topiary jar
Styrofoam tree and smaller pieces to make the base {see the video}
Ornaments (large, small and extra small)
Tinsel
Hot glue guns
Topper ornament

🎄 We made three layers with the large ornaments first
🎄Then added the smaller size and continued up to the top of the styrofoam tree
🎄Once our ornaments covered the majority of the tree, we then added tinsel to the empty gaps. (Make sure to glue on the styrofoam and don’t use your fingers to stick the tinsel down- use another object (scissors)🔥🔥)
🎄Once the tinsel is in place, then we added the tiny ornaments throughout the tree!
🎄Add your topper ornament and voila! {Make sure to have it centered/not crooked like mine was before glueing down!}

This was such a fun craft to make! I tried not to overthink it and just enjoy the process! As my daughter reminds me “it doesn’t have to be perfect”!

Thank you @parkerkennedyliving for all of your patience and @lydiamenziescelebrates for letting us pull ornaments from all over your beautiful home!! @parkerkennedyliving was also very gracious this past year and gave one of their beautiful ornament wreaths to an event for Covenant teachers❤️

Now, I’m wondering…what can I hot glue next?!

Dear children…you will come with me every year @gentrysfarm until you’re at least 50 🙃

We adore this farm and the Gentry family! Both of my kids have spent a week in the summer at Farm Camp so they enjoy going back in the fall! 🍂

We love the activity barn, hay rides, snacking on pumpkin bread + 🍿, visiting the farm animals and just enjoying beautiful fall days! And we can never leave without a 🎃 or two!

Thankful for farm days and for the Gentrys who have been sharing their farm with the community for generations! You’ve got two more weekends for Gentry’s! 🧡
