Baby bird: ahhhhhhh she is going to eat me!!!! Mama help me! Help me!!

Me: let's go Marshmallow no more gardening for me 😂😂

How well my Marshmallow listens 🤣 is amazing! She stole the bird feeder my daughter slathered in peanut butter and bird seeds and is currently enjoying her snack...

Then came in and had to drink a gallon of water...

There are some people whose strength quietly inspires everyone around them. 💚

Many of you may know Estelle from local events, Girl Scouts, and activities at YSV Candles & Gifts. Despite facing ongoing medical treatments and difficult days, Estelle continues to show up with resilience, kindness, playfulness, and a beautiful spirit that reminds all of us what courage truly looks like.

To help support Estelle and her family during this time, YSV Candles & Gifts will be donating $5 from every candle purchase made in Estelle’s honor.

🕯️ Here’s how you can help:
• Shop in-store and mention “Estelle” at checkout
• Or use coupon code: ESTELLE for qualifying candle purchases

For every candle sold using her name/code, $5 will go directly to Estelle’s family to help support them as they continue balancing treatments, work, and everyday expenses.

Sometimes the smallest acts — a candle purchase for you a friend, family member or neighbor, a share, a kind word — can help lighten someone’s load. Thank you for helping us support one of our brave Girl Scouts, a Dore student and her wonderful family. 💚
