Her social media followers said the apple doesn't fall far from the tree as they commended Ella on her efforts and said their Waco, Texas home was beautiful.
It was a big weekend for Joanna, who shares five children with her husband, Chip, as they also enjoyed a family Easter celebration.

Joanna commented on the post with a series of heart emojis.
The pair have been married for almost 22 years and they spoke about the secrets to a successful partnership in their book The Magnolia Story.

"We seem to give each other energy," Joanna explained. "We function better together than we do apart, and I don't think either one of us has ever felt the urge to say, 'I need a break from you.' Don't get me wrong, we've certainly had our share of disappointments and arguments, but we just always wanted to tackle our issues together."

Many fans believe Joanna met Chip while attending Baylor University, Texas. However, they never crossed paths since they graduated at different times. It wasn't until 2001, when Joanna worked at her dad's Firestone Tire shop, that Chip fell in love after seeing a photo of her. He then made excuses to turn up at the store and eventually, the pair began dating.
2. Farmyard lifestyle
Joanna and her husband live on a 40-acre farm in Texas, with their five children and over 60 farm animals including goats, chickens, and cows.
3. Magnolia magic
Their interior design brand was inspired by a memorable moment when Joanna climbed a magnolia tree on one of their early dates.
4. Children's author
In 2025, Joanna released a children's book called The World Needs the Wonder You See which takes young readers on an imaginative adventure through nature. She has also published two other children's books: We Are the Gardeners (2019) and The World Needs Who You Were (2020).
5. Gymnast days
The designer used to be a gymnast and has shared posts on social media of her practising gymnastic moves with her daughter.
They tied the knot two years later after Chip popped the question in a shopping centre in Texas. Unlike traditional proposals, the No Pain, No Gaines author chose not to present his bride-to-be with a ring as he wanted them to design one together.
