Sleeping. Oh how I love it and OH how I miss it ever since having a baby! I wouldn't trade a single sleepless night, but I will say that it just feels so sweet when my head hits the pillow. There's nothing like it.   When I started thinking about how to apply boldness to every area of my life I started to think about rest. I know that rest is so needed and I work really hard to get that down time (also, here's a fantastic post about rest from one of my faves), but what does it mean to ... continue reading...

    First of all, we'll get to the fact that the above pictures are basically just mirror images of one another. But first...   If you read my post about purging that big scary closet then you know that I love having things in their proper place. I also am a big fan of rearranging rooms, not to a fault, but I am always OK with a little refreshing.   HOWEVER.   When I made this list of things to do with my 31 days I had every intention of ... continue reading...

Want to know something about me? I am a backpack geek. As in every year when it was time to shop for new school supplies, the thing I looked forward to the ABSOLUTE MOST was getting a new backpack.

I am so surprised how deep the last few days have been - how about y'all? I guess I was just thinking that I would change a few minor things and be none the wiser, but apparently God has had bigger plans throughout my little experiment. I love that he works like that, surprising me at every turn. And all I can say to that is God is faithful, even when we're not. Thank goodness.   Today I decided to paint something! I feel like it's reminiscent of my little painting project from last ... continue reading...

Truth be told I had no idea what I was going to write for this post. I can be a fairly opinionated person, but have learned to pick my battles because the reality is that most things are not worth making a huge fuss over. In my opinion there are just so many more things to steward my energy into than being a disagreeable person, but I never want to lack boldness in standing up for what I believe in.   So here's something I believe: I believe that this world would be a much better ... continue reading...

Oh my poor hair. Y'all, it has been through a lot in the past 30 years of living on this earth - crazy colors, weird styles, awkward haircuts and the whole shebang of products and styling doohickeys and accessories. And yet it's still here with me, thank goodness, plugging along as I make my way through life.   When I was about 14 I highlighted my hair for the first time. My mom strapped the cap on me and used the crochet hook thingy to pull sections of my hair out all over my head. ... continue reading...
