Yard Carding Mama

Tour De Komen is a HUGE part of our street. 💗🎀

All of the history and traditions behind it happened before we ever moved here, but it’s important to our neighbors—and because it’s important to them, it’s important to us too! 🫶

We seriously have the absolute BEST neighbors. Today, every “husband” on the street who was able to was outside helping set everything up… and the wives were right there too! It truly takes the whole neighborhood!

And today, Kyle Vannoni is riding an incredible 100 MILES in honor of his mother. 💗🎀 ONE HUNDRED MILES, y’all! That deserves some serious support!

There’s just something really special about living on a street where people show up for each other, support each other, and make you feel like you’re part of something bigger.

We couldn’t have picked a better street to call home. 💜

If you’re out and about today and anywhere near Riley Elementary, stop by and show these riders some love and support! They’re expected to arrive around 4 PM!

100 MILES! 🚴‍♂️💗👏 What an incredible way to honor someone you love!

They're out here until 6 PM!

🎃👻 YARDIESSSS! GUESS WHAT?! 👻🎃

Easter is a HUGE hit around here, and y’all know it is truly my FAVORITE event of the year! 💜 It’s also the most hectic, but I absolutely LOVE it!

HOWEVER… my little man LOVES HALLOWEEN! 🎃👻
And when I say LOVES it—I mean he thinks Halloween is the BEST THING EVER! 🤣🖤

So this year, Mama is adding something NEW…

👻🎃 YOU’VE BEEN BOO’D YARD SETUPS! 🎃👻

Each setup will include a small goodie bag for your kiddo(s) filled with age-appropriate candy, snacks, and fun little trinkets! 🍬🍭🎃

ANDDDD because you know I love making things extra special… 💜

✨ There will also be an optional personalized keepsake item available to special order!

Imagine your kiddos waking up or coming home to find out they’ve been BOO’D! 👻🎃

I already know this is going to be SO MUCH FUN—and Conrad is basically my official Halloween consultant at this point. 🤣💚

💜 Pricing, options, and all the details will be posted within the next couple of days!

GET READY, YARDIES…
HALLOWEEN IS COMING TO YARD CARDING MAMA! 👻🎃🕷️🍬💜

YARDIESSSS! 💜

I’ve had several people reach out today! My neighbors are sending people my way, repeat clients are getting signs on the books for their kiddos, NEW Yardies have joined me today, and special orders are going in! 🥹💜

And I’m still over here doing all of this while working 45+ hours a week at my full-time job! 🤪 Somehow, we make it work!

But if you’ve been wondering where I’ve been or what I’ve been doing when I’m a little quieter over here…

THIS. This is still the very best place I get to be. 🥹💜

YARDIESSSS! 💜🤣

Today started out SO NORMAL.

I got up, went out, and staked a yard card for a VERY special girl! 💜🥳 Had that baby staked and ready to go by 10:30 AM!

Just out here doing what speaks to my soul. Being creative. Spreading joy. Making people smile. 🥹💜

AND THEN…

Wanna guess what I spent the REST of my day doing?! 🤣🤣

And y’all KNOW I love this game. GUESS! It’s no fun if you don’t guess!

But there is literally a ZERO PERCENT CHANCE any of you would guess this sh*t…

And I mean S**T. LITERALLY. 💩🤣

I HELPED REPLACE MY FREAKING SEWER LINE.

SEVENTY. FIVE. FEET. OF. SEWER. LINE. 😳💩

WHO AM I?! 🤣🤣🤣

10:30 AM: ✨Yard Carding Mama✨
11:00 AM: ✨Bob the Freaking Builder: S**t Pipe Edition✨

Now, normally, Mama does NOT participate in these kinds of household activities. 😂 That is definitely my husband's department. BUT since he recently got his ICD, there are some things he just can't do right now.

So who do you call?!

PAP! AKA my Dad! 🤣

Ole “Pap,” as our son so lovingly calls him, has ALL THE THINGS. Seriously. Need a tool? Pap's got it. Need a piece of equipment? Pap probably has that too. Need 75 freaking feet of sewer line replaced?!

PAP'S YOUR GUY. 😂👏

Did I physically dig the giant trench? ABSOLUTELY NOT. Let's not get carried away here. 🤣 Pap did ALL the heavy work.

BUT WAS MAMA DOWN IN THAT HOLE?!

YOU BET I WAS. 😂💩

I helped glue pipe. I made the Menards run. I got lunch—arguably the MOST important job. 🤷‍♀️🤣 And I helped rake backfilled dirt when we were done!

Bet you didn't see THAT coming from your friendly neighborhood Yard Carding Mama! 😂

Here's some useless knowledge about me: I've been on construction sites my ENTIRE life. So while you normally see me with signs… Mama knows a thing or two about getting dirty too. 🤣

Jack of all trades, MASTER OF ABSOLUTELY NONE! 💁‍♀️😂

Need a birthday yard card? I GOT YOU. 💜

Need 75 feet of sewer line replaced?!

…Actually, DON'T CALL ME. 😂😂😂

I've done my time.

I am officially RETIRED from the plumbing industry effective IMMEDIATELY. 💩✌️🤣

What will tomorrow bring?!

Hopefully NOTHING involving p**p pipes.

But at this point… WHO FREAKING KNOWS?! 🤣💜

Okay, Yardies... and Terre Haute. 💜

I need your attention for just a minute.

If you've been around here for years, thank you for sticking with us. If you're new here, welcome to my softer side.

Jamie attends the same daycare as my son. This sweet little guy is only five months old. FIVE months. My daughter is only two months older than he is, and I can't even begin to imagine what this family has been through—or what they will continue to face.

As a mama, my heart absolutely breaks for them.

I've seen this community do incredible things when someone is in need, and I'm hoping we can do it again.

If you have room in your budget, please consider donating to help this family. Every dollar, no matter the amount, can make a difference during such a difficult time.

If donating isn't possible right now, please take a moment to share this post so it reaches as many people as possible. And from the bottom of my heart, please keep this precious little boy and his family in your prayers.

Let's remind them they don't have to walk this road alone. 💜

Jaime was born on February 6, 2026. He’s our second child behind our 2.5 year old, Jonah. Jaime was almost 2 lbs smaller than Jonah when he was born, 6lbs 7oz. I just chalked it up to his 2-vessel cord causing some growth restriction. His birth was uncomplicated by planned c-section. He was jaundi...

Shannon is loved by so many people, but her very favorite title is the one given to her by the sweetest little voice... Granny Shanny! 💜

Today, everyone wants to wish this incredible woman the happiest of birthdays! We hope your day is filled with all the love, laughter, and happiness you so freely give to everyone around you.

Happy Birthday, Granny Shanny! We hope your day is every bit as wonderful as you are! 🎉🎂🥳

Yardies! 💜

These sweet little girls celebrated their birthdays in a BIG way! 🎉 Their parents hosted 21 kids... TWENTY-ONE! 🤯🤣 Y'all are some brave people!

Their mama is truly one of the sweetest women I've ever met, and these birthday girls couldn't be more different if they tried! 🦖🦄

Miss Peyton chose all things DINOSAURS 🦕 while Miss Addison was all about the UNICORNS 🦄✨. I absolutely love seeing their unique little personalities shine!

Thank you for trusting us to help celebrate your girls' special day. We hope it was filled with laughter, fun, and memories you'll all treasure for years to come! 💜

On a side note... I think this is the LONGEST sign I have ever staked!

Yardies! 💜

We've been helping these little birthday twins celebrate for years, and it means so much that their Mama's keeps coming back to us year after year! 🥹

One of my favorite parts of this job is watching these kiddos grow and seeing how their interests change from one birthday to the next. From favorite characters to new hobbies, every sign tells a little piece of their story.

Thank you for trusting us to be a small part of so many special memories. We can't wait to see what next year's celebration brings! 💚🎉

Happy Birthday to each of you!
