HOME & GARDEN
Celebrating Mom Moming is hard, yall! Right? I have such a love and passion for parents doing this selfless job of raising little humans. With this in mind, i wanted to find a way to give back to the community by loving on a mom that desperately needed a makeover!
We put out the call on social media and got so many deserving mom nominations. It was so difficult to narrow it down, yet one letter stood out. In his nomination letter, her husband praised our recipient’s devotion to others but lamented that it left her little time for her own pursuits. She had attempted to decorate their bedroom with items she’d been given and had found at garage sales, but the project kept getting put on the back burner. Little wonder! She had been commuting more than an hour to her job as area director for a foster child agency, where she worked over 60 hours per week–and was on call 24/7!

She and her husband have fostered seven children with special needs, and are also in the adoption process! Can you spell S-T-R-E-T-C-H-E-D? This busy mother of three was definitely worthy of a room makeover, he told us. Having moved far from family, she needed an oasis in her new home. When this selfless child advocate was chosen as our winning entry, we were absolutely delighted to oblige!
A priceless reaction captured as the couple returned home to see their new Master Bedroom.
