#WriteYourLove Challenge – Day 2

Handwritten Heritage Instagram Challenge Tales of a Peanut

Day two of the #writeyourlove challenge is about your favorite writing pens. I don’t know about you but I have different pens that I like to use based on what I’m writing on. For my Handwritten Heritage letters that I’m working on this week I prefer to use a Le Pen pen. It’s smooth and thick ink flow make it perfect to write on the luxury paper with.

But when I’m writing on other types of paper I prefer different pens. These are my three favorites: ek tools for sketching designs, Le Pen for writing letters, and PaperMate InkJoy for writing everyday lists and notes to teachers. (no affiliate links, just pens that I love!)

#WriteYourLove Challenge – Day 1

Handwritten Heritage Instagram Challenge Tales of a Peanut

 

It’s Day One in the #WriteYourLove challenge and today we’re sharing our blank letters that we’ll be writing on this week. The goal for the week is to write your love through written letters to your children, your spouse, your family, or your friends. You can use any type of paper or stationery for this but I will be using Handwritten Heritage stationery.

My goal this week is to write some letters to my children on the prompted Handwritten Heritage pages as well as write some letters to a friend or two and my husband on my monogrammed Handwritten Heritage stationery and the blank pages. If you’re new to Handwritten Heritage, the goal is to write letters that will last a lifetime. In this day and age, handwriting a letter is becoming increasingly rare. But a physical letter expressing your love for someone can be read over and over again no matter what the future holds for the person who wrote it. This challenge is to encourage you to write your love for those closest to you so that they can hold those sentiments in their hands for years to come.

A Tribute to Mothers – Sherry

I’m so glad that Martha wrote in about her Mom because I just love Sherry. She is such a lovely woman and I am so glad that I have gotten to know her over the past year. They have a wonderful family and I’m incredibly happy to be honoring her today with her daughters tribute.

A Tribute to Mothers - Tales of a Peanut

As a little girl people would often tell me how much I looked like my mama. At first I didn’t think much about it. As I entered the awkward teenage years I would shrug and dismiss it. But as I have gotten older and people continue to mention it, I realize what an honor it is. Not only is she beautiful on the outside, but she is truly fabulous on the inside as well.

She has taught me everything I know about being a good southern girl–how to mind my manners, be kind to everyone, make a pound cake, take a casserole when someone dies, and that there is no situation in which pearls are not appropriate.

But certainly more important than that, she has modeled life for me. From my first remembrance, Mama instilled in me the love of going to church and the importance of a relationship with Jesus. As we’ve walked this road of the last two months (“post-heart attack” as we say) I have been captivated by her unwavering spirit and constant desire to give glory to the Lord. In a situation where there has been lots of room for second-guessing and what ifs, she has steadily looked to Jesus for wisdom and has been such an example to us all.

She’s the first person I call when I have a bad day. She’s the first person I call when I have a great day. Really….she’s the first person I call EVERY day. She’s my biggest cheerleader, my very best friend and I love her more than all the Tory, Lilly, and Kate (that’s Burch, Pulitzer, and Spade in case you were wondering) in the world! Here’s to you, Mama! Happy Mothers’ Day!

Thank you so much for sharing Martha! Your Mom is a special lady and you are blessed to have her in your life! Do you want to honor your Mom or one of your Mom friends? I’d love to feature them! Send me a tribute via email and I’ll share it!

A Tribute to Mothers

A Tribute to Mothers - Tales of a Peanut

Mothers are the best. They are there for you when you’re sick, when you’re tired, when you’re hungry, when you’re angry, when you’re happy, when you’re sad, when you’re excited, when you’re moody and still love you anyway. They celebrate your every small accomplishment and encourage you when your results didn’t match your expectations. In short, they are our everythings’s.

I typically post about my Mom on Mother’s Day, because, well, she’s the best. But this year I thought that some of you might think that your Mom is the best and might want to let others know about her. So this year on the blog I’m going to do something a little different and let you share about your awesome Mom!

Between now and Friday, May 1st, if you’d like for me to feature your Mom on Tales of a Peanut, send me an email with the subject line “Mother” and tell me about her. Please include a picture of her (with you or without, whatever you prefer) as well as what you’d like us to know about her. This could be a memory, what you appreciate about her, what you love about her, why she’s the best Mom, anything you want to say. Next weekend I’ll review all the entries and choose five to feature every day the week of Mother’s Day on the blog.

I also want to send your Mom a Mother’s Day card so, if you would like me to do that, please include her full name and address in the email so that I can send her one.

I’d also love for us to celebrate everyone’s mother’s, not just the ones that I can feature on the blog. So I started an album on the Tales of a Peanut Facebook page. You can upload a picture of your Mom along with what you want to say about her to our page and we’ll put it in this album for everyone to see and give your Mom some love! I’ll also do my best to add those that come in via email to this album as well.

I can’t wait to hear from you about your Mom and what you want to share with us! Please join us by sending me an email by Friday, May 1st, with a picture of your mom, what you want to share about her, her name, and her address (if you’d like me to send her a card). And please share on social media and with your friends so that we can celebrate as many Mom’s as possible this year!
