I was skeptical of this one because I don’t typically jump on the bandwagon when it comes to books. But, it proved me wrong and kept my attention. I loved the story and time period it was set in. Kya’s character was so unique and I loved her grit for survival as well as compassion […]

Lit List | Where the Crawdads Sing

My girl lost her best friend today. I’ve been through the loss of a lot of horses in my lifetime but this one was tough. When it’s your kid you just wish you could take it for them. I believe God has a special place for them all. Thank you for taking care of Paisley […]

Hounddog

Embracing Your Role Inside The Home

Someone’s weed is someone else’s wildflower. Paintbrushes will always be mine. It’s been that way since I was a little girl.

Holiday Mixtape

It’s our favorite time of year, especially around the house. I don’t do a ton of decorating because too much makes our small space feel so cluttered but I love adding festive touches here and there that gives our home a more cozy feel. I wanted to share a few areas I’ve styled for Christmas. […]

Barn House Christmas

Sharing @sammirobbins_ words because I think we all need to hear them. I know I did. ???????? “Did you lose your femininity? Is it hiding deep under layers of self protection, control, achieving success and being strong because no one else could be strong for you? You don’t want to be like that but don’t know how […]
