If nothing ever changed there would be no butterflies - Free Printable Inspiration

One of my closest friends from High School got married this weekend and I couldn’t be happier for her. Of course she let me help her with her wedding stationery. Her unique style helped me create this little beauty and I added it to the shop. What do you think, cute, right?

My friend and her now husband have been together since our senior year and have truly grown together into a beautiful little family. Could that have really been over 13 years ago now? It has had me thinking back to high school days, to crazy study sessions, summer parties and the untroubled and worry-free heart of my 19-year old self.

To complete the reminiscing my new neighbour also came along today to say she was heading to her High School Reunion tonight…crazy flashbacks all around.

High School is long gone – and that’s a good thing

And while I sometimes look back and think “those were the good old days”, I also never want to go back. I have grown-up from that girl. I have had the good, bad and the ugly experience-wise and am slowly learning to accept all of those parts equally and to appreciate them for shaping me into who I am today. Not perfect, not whole, but yet still happy. Happy to be a mummy to the 2 most wonderful, loving, funny and – let’s face it – exhausting little boys that have ever walked the planet (totally biased here), happy to be a wife and partner to the one who completes me and happy to be me, now a small business owner and wanna-be creativepreneur.

So this week is for glancing back, cherishing the memories. But at the same time moving forward and embracing change as it comes along.

Because if nothing ever changed, there would be no butterflies.
