Today is a day I have been praying about for a LONG time.
Since 2010, the Lord provided a space for me here to share my heart for helping mommies everywhere build happy homes. I have shared countless crafts, recipes, traditions, and printables, as well as the story of my little family’s life – the joys, the struggles; the crazy, the funny; the trials, and victories. It has been an incredible blessing to be able to serve my dear readers through each and every post.
Today launches the start of a new journey for this site and I am both excited and humbled.
Through the help of the incredible Emily White at Emily White Designs, Happy Home Fairy is now a visual representation of my heart for you! The new site is bright, happy, fun, and SO much better organized. I hope that when you are trying to track down that amazing broccoli salad recipe I shared last year or that FREE Printable from 2 Easters ago, you will find that the new site will deliver results quickly and its attractive set-up will keep you hanging around longer.
My new site will also be a place where I can host a few ads and accept a few sponsors – something that will allow me to pursue my dream of writing more and reaching more mommies for Jesus. But please don’t be worried, I remain committed to only bringing you the resources and products that I, myself, believe in wholeheartedly – as I have done for the last several years.
I cannot celebrate this day without expressing my sincerest gratitude to all of you, dear readers, for helping me get to this point! Every visit, every comment, every social media share, has helped me to be brave, trust Jesus, take leaps of faith, and grow as a mother and as a woman of the Lord. I feel so blessed! Also, a large number of you helped fund the making of this site, so I feel like it is every bit yours as it is mine. I hope you love the new site and use it often! You are my angels!
Finally, with today’s launch, I need to say from the bottom of my heart that my number one priority at Happy Home Fairy is always to bring God glory and point others to Him.
I want you to know Him more with each post.
I long for you to long for more of Him because of the things I share here.
I pray that I will be a faithful steward of this gift He has given me and that you will always leave here inspired, refreshed, and encouraged to build your home on the firm foundation of Jesus.
Because homes that do that are truly the happiest.
– Julie 🙂
“I will thank the Lord at all times.
My lips will always praise him.
I will find my glory in knowing the Lord.
Let those who are hurting hear me and be joyful.
Join me in giving glory to the Lord.
Let us honor him together.”
Psalm 34:1-3 (NIRV)

Julie–how funny that I should ask you about a designer today! The site look ah-mazing! I have never been particularly religious and I am not yet a mom–and still I find myself relating to your experience of humanity, often laughing or crying while reading your words. It’s been a pleasure watching your blog grow (through lots of hard work!) over the years. And more than anything, I so appreciate your kindness and loving heart for all.

Congrats Julie! You blog was one of the first blogs I began following about 5 years ago. I prayed for months when your little guy was born and all the challenges you faithfully walked through.

May our Lord and Savior continue to bless your “mission” field..
