Joanna Gaines has heralded the arrival of Fall at the Magnolia Silos, despite the sweltering summer heat in Waco, Texas. In a vibrant Instagram video, she reveals the seasonal decor at Magnolia Market, stating, “I always love our seasonal installs at @magnolia! This weekend, we brought fall to Magnolia Market.” Visitors can explore the curated autumn products both online at magnolia.com and in-store at the Silos.
In her video, Joanna emphasizes the theme “embracing what matters most,” sharing personal reflections regarding her children as they prepare for college. She expressed, “I’m embracing my kids before they go off to college,” revealing plans to harvest honey at their farm with her kids—a testament to her commitment to family during this transitional period.
Further indicating her familial focus, Joanna and husband Chip have been making the most of their final days of summer with a recent family trip to Sayulita, Mexico. The couple is mindful that their eldest children, Drake and Ella Rose, who will soon be leaving for college, are growing up. Joanna disclosed Ella’s aspirations to carve her own path at college, sharing, “She’s excited about going somewhere and just being known for her.”
Joanna also touched on the emotional challenge of this phase, noting, “I kind of feel like I’m losing a friend in my everyday life,” while also expressing joy for her daughter’s upcoming adventures, feeling there’s much for her to learn and teach.
In addition to navigating these familial shifts, Joanna is prioritizing her mental and physical resilience. During an episode of the “Stronger Podcast” with trainer Don Saladino, she discussed how her fitness journey has enhanced her mental strength. She reflected, “When I do leave, my mind feels strong… and my body feels strong too,” highlighting the importance of positivity.
As Joanna embraces the changes ahead with strength and optimism, her journey serves as an inspiring reminder of the balance between letting go and cherishing family moments.
