Hi! My name is Laidel May.
Welcome to Sparkle in the Simple, an online space borne out of years (and still counting) of living out and learning simplicity and minimalism all the while reconnecting to my highest purpose and my truest story.
It is also during these many years that I’ve learned to embrace my creative side and my passion for capturing memories in photos, weaving reflections and encouragement in words, and creating and designing digital products.

ou can create as many pages like this one or sub-pages as you like and manage all of your content inside of WordPress.
This is an example of a blockquote. Blockquotes don’t have to be quotes, they can simply be important text you want your visitors to notice.
In most early mornings, I sit in a quiet place and read the stories of long ago from the bible, of humans just like me messing up and making bad decisions but still being lavishly welcomed, again and again, in the loving embrace of a forgiving Father offering a new start every morning as if they didn’t screw up at all.

I’m a wife, a mom, and a homemaker. I prep breakfast, brew a coffee, and wipe the counter in the morning. I kiss and hug my family, say another prayer, take another photo, misplace my phone for sure. By night, I read stories to my son and to myself.
I’m an accountant by trade and a photographer and a creative on the side. On weekdays, I work on spreadsheets and I write e-mails. On weekends, when fringe hours allow, I make crafts or create digital products. Almost every day, I take photos of the moments I want to remember forever.
My family of three calls the Emerald Isle home where we spend most weekends spending time in nature. Occasionally, we travel and see the world and I relive all about the adventure here.
