Hello everyone! This is Aimee Grover with my first post on Keeping Up With The Grovers. I’ve been formerly known for my crafty blog Homespun Forte but have recently joined forces with the hubs :) Because we shoot together & do just about everything…well…together we decided it was time to combine! Be sure to subscribe to see our latest photo shoots & homespun posts by me! All of the same good stuff on one blog!
So with no further ado I bring to you my first personal post about someone I love SO much…my mama. Isn’t she the prettiest? We took this photo when we visited my parents in the Seattle area earlier this summer.
My mom came down to Orange County for a visit this week & brought us some house warming gifts. I absolutely love them! They are so fresh and summery & go perfectly with our home decor – isn’t it amazing how mom’s can do that?
While she was here in Newport Beach, we went bike riding over to Balboa Island, visited Kean coffee, went shopping at fun little boutiques & went to night church at Rock Harbor. We had a guest speaker, Darren McWatters who taught on “God is Holy” and it was revolutionary! I have been thinking about it all week. The next morning I woke up to find my mom doing her daily devotions and writing out the whole message my memory. It has been such an encouragement in life to see how truly devoted to the Lord my mom has been throughout her life. She wakes up in the wee hours of the morning to spend time with God first. I am so grateful for her & the faithful example she has been to me!

I’m so excited for Tracy and Ian! They are having a baby boy who is due any week now. These pictures were taken in Seal Beach – one of our new favorite spots!
Over memorial day weekend we had the opportunity to get to know this amazing family! Bethany and Jason Cseh adopted three beautiful children : Isaac, Emily and Antonio. They are SO precious! Check out their very candid family photo sesh below :)
It’s been awhile since I’ve blogged but here is a fun family shoot I did the other day. There is just so much to do before the holidays this year. We are going up to Seattle to be with Aimee’s family for Christmas!
This little guy’s name is Rex and he is all amped up for Christmas with his Santa hat ;)

Aimee, I love this post! I will definitely check out the message from Rock Harbor! Thanks for writing about your Mom – I’m sure she is blessed and honored by you – especially that you see her as a woman after the heart of God, and set her devotion to Jesus as an example in your life. I’m so thankful you have her. Can’t wait to see you again!
Your momma is an inspiration :)
