You can’t always make sense of pain, but sometimes, peace lives in the pauses it creates. Through loss, I learned to stop chasing what’s next and start loving what’s here; my marriage, my daughter, my faith, and the quiet beauty of simply being present

There’s something sacred about tending to life, whether it’s a sprout stretching toward the sun or a toddler running wild through the backyard. Both require patience, consistency, and a gentle touch. My plants taught me that long before motherhood ever did.

Even though I never got to experience a fall pregnancy myself, I love living it through the mamas who do. There’s something sacred about that season, the stillness, the comfort, the anticipation. If you’re expecting this fall, soak in every moment. Light the candle, sip the tea, wear the cozy socks, and let yourself rest. You’re growing something beautiful — and that deserves all the softness the season has to offer.

Hi friend, I’m Karestin! Welcome to Honey and Peanut Design—my little corner of the internet where I create pregnancy announcements, milestone sets, and templates for celebrating life’s sweetest moments. In this very first blog post, I’m sharing a bit about me, the heart behind my shop, and what you can expect here.
