And everyday I want her to wake up knowing how beautiful she is….that she was created ON purpose FOR a purpose! That no matter how many mistakes she makes or what kids say about her or to her or no matter what trials she faces: ESTHER, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL! :) ⁣ .⁣ Also, I plan to make MANY more of these colorful flags for our house and the shop!

Check out my stories if you need a last minute patriotic dessert for your festivities today! With only a few ingredients and 20 minutes of time, you will be the hit of the party! 💙❤
