Hello! It’s been a hot minute since I’ve done a blog post this year! I am excited to be getting back into the swing of things and have lots of ideas and projects I want to share with you all! At times, I can fall into the mindset that people don’t really read blogs anymore- […]
As I say farewell to another year, I always like to reflect back on it. I read through my journal, look at pictures and am reminded of many things I’ve forgotten. I am one who always gets excited for a new year- lots of possibilities ahead and I tend to get a little pep in […]
Lately, God keeps putting this phrase on my heart, “take care of your flock”. As one chapter of life has ended and another begun, I have questioned what God wants me to do. I think all of us who love God want to do big things for Him. If I’m honest, for myself as well. […]
Cleaning is a part of everyday life, especially for us parents who stay at home with little ones- it’s a pretty big part of life. I rounded up all of my favorite cleaning supplies from Amazon. These are all products I personally own and use on a consistent basis, as well as items I truly […]

Home. I’ve lived in an old white house, corn fields surrounding. My dog, Roosevelt on the cement block of porch. My horse, Brownie in the field. My sisters all about. As I grew, so did the house. Rooms added on, one by one throughout the years. I was brought to that home a baby and […]
I saw her- a woman I aspired to be like. In a white Yukon XL, dressed in the latest fashion trends (whatever they were back then), shiny blonde hair in a ponytail. She was pretty, put together, obviously had money, with a car full of kids in the back. As I drove by her in […]
Photography Source She hates me and I don’t know why. For real though. Maybe you think I should use the words “irritated by”, “dislikes” or something more like “not a fan of” or “allergic to”. You might be thinking I’m being dramatic and exaggerating. But no, drama is really not my thing and while I […]
