"Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight." 1 Peter 3:3-6

Flower Festival


My 4 year old daughter, Sycely, loves all things flowers so I thought taking her along to the Flower Festival downtown in Townsquare would be a fun Mommy Date for the two of us. We had a great time checking out all the gorgeous blooms and really enjoyed being surrounded by all the fabulous colors of summer. The Festival offered lots of activities and entertainment- informational booths, workshops by master gardeners, live music, flowers and plants for purchase and lots of local artisans displaying their amazing work.

Sycely enjoyed planting a Marigold, her favorite flower this summer, after decorating a cup planted for it at the children's planting station. Then we checked out the booths of art, listened to some tunes and picked out a sunflower for one of our front yard planter boxes. All in all we had a great time and thought the Flower Festival was a great family activity and a successful fundraiser for such a worthy cause. Anchorage (downtown in particular) is known for its beautiful flowers and I'm happy to have been part of helping keep our city alive with color.
