If I Were On the Bachelor
Like most contestants, I’d go into the process optimistic, naïve and dangerously in debt from all of the evening gowns I purchased to drink wine and cry in.

I was very excited and honored to receive a nomination for the Versatile Blogger Award this past weekend from Anne Leueen, a.k.a Horse Addict. It’s my first ever nomination for anything!

How to Feel Gorgeous
One of my favorite albums of 2016 was X Ambassadors’ VHS 2.0.

The Year of “Give”
For the last two years my mom and I have rang in January 1st with the One Word devotional. The idea is simple: focus your attention on one word for the entire year. This is not just any word however. There is no reaching your hand into a bowl and pulling out one of 20… Continue reading

A Lesson from Boxers, Beasts & Gilmore’s
It’s 12:30 am and I’m writing. Now, that may be early or late for you, or it might not matter much at all, but I’m just in one of those moods. I had an idea and I know that it can’t wait. That I have to get it down now. I’m not unfamiliar to this… Continue reading
