2019 was a hard. Mentally. Emotionally. Spiritually. And yet through it all it was full of moments that made me so grateful. Grateful for my husband, my family in Texas & North Carolina, my church family, and my friends on IG and in-person. I got busy in 2019. Added more things to my plate, all [...]

What does ‘mindful living’ mean?
I revamped my header and some design details recently on my blog. January is a great time to update are reevaluate my blog and the direction I’m going cause if we’re being honest. This poor blog has been all over the place in the last 8 years since I started! One of the things I [...]
2018 in Review
At the beginning of every year, I chose a word and let that word cultivate myself and cultivate in my life for the year. My word for 2018 was Grow. Looking back that was a dangerous word choice truthfully, I think this at the end of every year and maybe not necessarily my word but [...]
June 2018 | Wrap Up Post
Friends, how are we at the end of June? Seriously, I'm writing this and then publishing it, yeah procrastination! Also, I'm eagerly waiting for vacay later this summer.

Diary 1st Entry
This is a scary and new concept for me. How much do I share? What don't I publicize to the world? I've had a blog for a long time, said some things I should have, deleted posts, and lead to a blog with no personality or person. I want to change that. Be kind as [...]
A Lesson in Patience
Travis and I like to joke that our marriage is a direct result of me praying for patience in college. I am constantly learning new ways to practice patience with him, as he loves to push all the buttons. I'm learning patience when things don't happen on my timeline, when I want them to happen, [...]
2015 Reflection
Of all my years this maybe my greatest. In January, I was invited to interview with Stitch Fix. I admit that I applied to the job a few times and in every available area. And prior to this Interview I interviewed for a whole realm of positions from barnes & noble to the local interior [...]
