Floral Designing & Balance

As most of you probably know, I attended the Utah School of Floral Design in 2010.

Here I am with some of my fellow classmates. Shorly afterward, I officially started Field of Gold Floral Design, my flower design business. I did several weddings, mother's days, one valentine's day, and several other small projects.

I love flowers, I really do. I enjoy working with them. Unfortunatly, I had a really hard time balancing the flower business with motherhood, and my housewife duties. Because of this, I came to the conclusion and realization that now is not the season in my life to be starting businesses, big or small. Being the best mother and wife I can be comes first priority in my life right now. I'm not going to lie, Yes, occasionally I dream of being a working mom, but because of this experience and my experience with being an Avon lady, I think when the time comes for me to pursue a money-making opportunity, I would want to work for someboody else, in an office, outside of the home. For now, that is at least a few years in the future. I have found a new purpose and appreciation for being a stay-at-home mom. I try harder to cherish every moment with my sweet kids. I count myself extremely lucky that I am married to the most wonderful hard-working man I know.

Pretty Little Darlings

Lisa, Holly, & I tried to make a cute little backdrop for a little photo session for the girls. Sadly, the pics didn't turn out as well as I was hoping. I think I need a new camera.

Future Communicating Devices by Jennifer Trend

My ideas for phones of the future:

#1 Gigantic Zak Morris inspired phone, but with an iPhone display, in either pure gold, vintage floral, hippie rainbow sky, or zebra print
#2 About twice as big as a iPhone, but a little thicker and sturdier with gigantic buttons and an amazingly clear screen
#3 It will look like the handset of one those old phones from like the 1960's, but with buttons on the inside, in colors reminiscent of that era: teal, perinwinkle, canary, queen anne's lace
#4 A phone shaped as a cat, (you know you would want one)
#5 A phone that could double as a baby rattle
#6 a phone that could also be used as a digital picture frame but with an awesome chunky wooden frame that would still be cool but small enough to be sensible
#7 A communicating device inspired by Star Trek
#8 A communicating device inspired by the ones on Star Trek but have the appearance of a darling little flower pinned on your shirt, all you have to do to make a call is push the button on the front if you want to make a call, it will have voice recognition, same thing for answering a call.
