favorite things 2019
Today, I’m excited to be a part of the 10 year anniversary of Favorite Things by Melissa of 320 Sycamore! She is one of the first bloggers I ever met. We met nine years ago at the Blissdom blog conference and, unbeknownst to her, she became one of my mentors. I looked at her as […]
Armchair inspiration
There is only so much sitting and watching TV that I can handle. Don’t get me wrong…I love a lazy day now and then or a movie marathon, but I’ve been operating at 50% or less for a few weeks now. Especially during the first two weeks of recovery, I was medicated, sore, tired, and […]

apples, gifts & cozy white cottage giveaway
While I’ve been healing from my surgery, people have been so generous to us. We’ve been brought meals and I’ve received notes, cards, and gift cards to get takeout. It’s all been such a blessing. It’s just an arm, but it was major surgery and requires lots of time and rest in the first few […]
