Christmas Home Tour 2014

Hey y'all! Tomorrow night I'm hosting a little party for my Bible study group.  I love having people in my home ... and I wish I could just bring all of you over one afternoon for some coffee and conversation. Wouldn't that be amazing? One of my very favorite bloggers, Myquillin Smith {otherwise known as The Nester} has these saying I adore: It doesn't have to be perfect to be beautiful. Isn't that awesome news?! I don't know about you but neither me nor my home are ever perfect. But my ... [Read More]

What I Wore … and some winter nail care tips

Hey y'all! I'm finally jumping back in with a What I Wore Wednesday post ... it's been crazy around here and I have meant to share more of my outfits but since most nights I'm sitting in a gym wearing a "cheer mom" shirt of some sort, I suppose you haven't missed much. LOL But I have managed to wear colors besides black and gold in the past week so I thought I'd share what I've worn for a few exciting things happening around here. And I'm thrilled to be partnering with JULEP to share some ... [Read More]

These are great Christmas books — fiction, nonfiction, devotional, advent ... a little ... [Read More]

Thinning Eyelashes and Other Old Lady Problems

I have to admit I'm feeling pretty cool right now ... because in the past month I've gotten three opportunities as a "fashion blogger." Which is pretty awesome for a girl who loves boots and scarves and all things girly ... but pretty weird since said girl takes the most awkward photos ever of herself in said fashion awesomeness. Nonetheless, I'm excited to share with you an incredible new product, or at least new to me.  A friend from Georgia contacted me about Younique 3D fiber lashes ... [Read More]

When It All Feels Impossible

November was a blur around here ... we're full speed into basketball season and Christmas preparations and the occasional quiet moment when I could write a blog post but decide I'd rather indulge in a book. It's likely this month will be about the same  .... I've got a few posts in mind but for the most part, I'm choosing to be offline more than on. And I'm really hoping you will do the same! I am doing something special on Facebook {because I do manage to check in there and on Instagram ... [Read More]

30 Great Stocking Stuffers and Gifts for Teenage Girls

My girl and I have been working on her gift list for Christmas. Between her fellow cheerleaders, cousins, and close friends, she has quite a few gifts to buy or make. So, we've been on the hunt for the best gifts in several price ranges. And since we've done all this research, it seemed a shame not to share it with you as well ... since there's a pretty good chance at least a few of my readers have a teenage girl on their lists also. And so, here is our list of 30 great gifts for teenage girls ... [Read More]
