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 […]

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. I’ve used them all throughout my branding and they have such a special meaning to me. I pick them daily and fill Mason jars up to decorate our home. They are only here for […]

10 Years

“I’m finally understanding the peace that comes with not defending yourself. I have been misunderstood so many times over the years and by people that really mattered to me. I used to absolutely crumble if someone I cared about misunderstood me in a negative way. I’d spin for days. Weeks! I’ve had friends tell all […]

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. […]
