I can’t even tell you how excited I have been to share some really great talent here on Make It and Love It. My insides are full of butterflies……because this is just way too fun for me! I shared months ago that I wanted to open up the free days on my blog (that I wasn’t blogging) to others who would love to fill those gaps and showcase their own work. And you know, let some of you have as much fun as I have had for years and years here on this little ol’ blog. The sign-up forms FLOODED in and I was truly taken aback. I could hardly believe the talent….and the interest! It made me wonder how I could fit 500 more of you in here somehow. (But that’s why I decided to start doing Link Parties every Saturday….and those have been so fun too. There’s one still open here……join in!) But I selected a large handful and will be introducing you to them over the next month or so. I can hardly wait!! Every single one has something unique to share…….and fits right in here with what I’m already doing. Perfect!
So today, Natalie from The Creative Mom (oh, you’re just going to LOVE her!) is sharing a simple yet darling inspirational printable. So great for your own home, a gift, your office……wherever. We all need encouraging reminders around us!

Hey there! I’m Natalie, and I blog over at The Creative Mom, where I share decorating, crafts, recipes, and little snippets of inspiration for Creative Moms like you! I am a faithful Make it and Love it groupie, and I’m pinching myself that I get to be here, on one of my favorite blogs, sharing this free inspirational printable with you.
I have a 6 year old son who loves to worry (just like his mom). He ‘s the sweetest little thing, but there are times when he gets a little overwhelmed and frightened by everything going on around him. I find myself constantly telling him to “be brave”, and focus on all the good around him instead of the things he can’t control. So I created this little print to hang on the wall in our home, as a reminder to us all, to let our faith be bigger than our fears.
Except this print isn’t just for my son, it’s for all of us! As a mom of three, life can get overwhelming sometimes. There are a million things to do, people to feed, an endless mountain of laundry to fold, and it never fails that somebody spills a whole bowl of spaghetti-os as soon as I finish mopping the floor. I’m sure you moms have been there before. And those are just the little speed bumps we all experience day-to-day. There are bigger struggles that we all face from time to time that can completely take over and leave us feeling scared and powerless.
Sometimes it’s hard to have faith that everything will be alright. But with every hard time and struggle that comes my way, there are also a million little blessings that seem to go unseen. And this little printable just serves as a reminder of those blessings that can come from simply having faith.
So go ahead and print this out (using the link below), and hang it up in your home.
Not only is it inspirational, but it’s pretty darn cute too.
A bit more info:
I stuck mine in a cute stacked frame that I made, with some spring kissing balls on a pedestal bowl, and it looks darling in my home. The colors are perfect for any decor, and it’s sure to brighten your home and lift your spirits.

This print would also be perfect to give as a gift to a family member or a friend who’s going through a hard time. It’s just a sweet little thought that lets them know you’re thinking about them, and that you believe in them!
