Hello I’m Holly, Welcome!

Here at Blossoms and Briars I hope to share real life with all who stop by and be an encouragement to many.

A little About Me….

I am a mother of three amazing kids, (well, one adult, and two teens actually), and a wife to the most amazing and supportive husband. My faith in God is my foundation. That is something I use to be shy to share, but it is who I am and I think being an original “you” is much better than a carbon copy of what you think the world would like you to be.

I am thankful for our little nestled piece of country living. I would like to say I try to learn new things often and so I have dabbled in many different things, but one of those interests that has grown with me is my love of writing. So that’s how Blossoms and Briars came about, (and much encouragement from my husband!)

A Little background…

Being raised in the Northeast has made early fall certainly my favorite season. The amazing display of color, the crisp cool nights, (perfect sleeping weather), cozy sweaters, my hands warmed by a delicious cup of tea, (oh yeah; I am kind of a tea lover), great conversations with friends and family all the while sitting around a cozy fire. What’s not to like about fall?!

I am a homemaker and homeschooling mom which has taught me so many valuable lessons. I never thought being a “stay at home mom” would be so challenging and yet so rewarding.

Life is funny, we humans think we have it all figured out, or moments of that mind set anyway, but life teaches us, and it is a journey. Some days are blessings and growth happens (Blossoms) and some days you feel like crawling back into bed because everything seems like an up hill climb (briars). And that is why I am here. To be real, transparent, and have a place where I can share life with others and in the hope of being a encouragement and be encouraged.

So, grab a cup of tea with me and let me share with you in this life of growing, learning, and many everyday blessings!
