What happens to a girl who loves to read when her life has been full of end of school activities, writing projects, and no down time? She gets cranky, that's what! Until she remembers it's June ... which means VACATION and time to read all those books stacked up on her nightstand {well, a few of them anyway ... let's be honest, that TBR stack is a little like Mt. Everest}. Included on my June reading list is some fiction guaranteed to be so engrossing, you won't even be able to ... [Read More]
Things I’m Loving These Days
Y'all, it's been a crazy few weeks for the Underwood family. We've had parties and ball games and family visits and all three of us managed to get sick too. {Because, really, what's a busy holiday season without everyone needing antibiotic and steriod shots. ha!} But here's the thing, I know I won't have much time to write again before the end of the year. I do have a few posts scheduled but I'm making the choice to be offline or at least mostly offline. By offline I mean, I'll be ... [Read More]
Advent Ideas and 2 Gifts You Should Give Yourself
December 1, 2015. Wow. This morning as I was having my quiet time, I realized this year has truly flown by. It feels like just yesterday I was sharing the 31 Verses to Pray for Your Marriage.

I've ... [Read More]
Busy but Good
Y'all ... I cannot believe I have not written anything for over two weeks. It isn't because I haven't wanted to or had things to say {seriously, I always have something to say! LOL}. Life has just been busy. And you know, I'm not apologizing for that anymore, right? I'm good ... the busy is good. I'm doing the stuff that matters, the most important stuff. But I miss being here in this space. So I promise to be back here with regular content soon {more about that below}. Even though I'm ... [Read More]
Simply Tuesday by Emily Freeman {Book Review}
This time a year ago I thought I was about to sign my first contract for a traditionally published book. My speaking calendar was growing as was my blog. I had several coaching clients and I was excited about all the ways God was moving in my life professionally. Today, I've had one proposal rejected by a publisher and another one remains in limbo. My speaking calendar is empty for the first time in four years. I don't have any coaching clients currently and in spite of updating my focus and ... [Read More]
For Your Weekend
So, this weekend is supposed to be rainy and that means all I will want to do is wrap up in a blanket on the couch and watch a Blue Bloods marathon on Netflix with Scott. I've spent most of this week working on a book proposal but I did go to a class at the gym with my friend Marguerite on Tuesday morning. The class involved hand weights and one of those huge balance ball things. It also requires a proficient knowledge of left and right and being able to do one thing with the right side of your ...
