monday morning encouragement: grab your bag & go
Yesterday I texted my oldest brother & asked him, “How hard is it to get to Italy?”. Not even a full minute later he called me & we spent the next hour and a half talking about over seas travel, mission trips, & traveling to new cities. Out of my entire family, he’s the…

monday morning encouragement: say goodbye to the monday feels
If you’ve got the Monday feels, then raise your hand. Did you do it? Well I’m just gonna assume that you did. Because you’re human. Because you’re at work. Because it’s not the weekend. And mainly because we all hate Monday’s because it’s the day that feels like death. We left our life back there…

the new year ahead
It’s already a week into the new year & I’m just now getting around to writing the typical “new year, new me” post. I’m not really a big goal setter in life, but with having this space to share my life on it sort of helps me to grow in this area publicly. Goals aren’t…

a look back at my 2015 through outfits
It’s the last day of 2015 & I seriously can’t believe it’s already here. Honestly, it’s so wild to think about how fast time moves & how much just a single year can bring. A lot can change & a lot can stay the same, & you never know what the next 364 days will…

monday morning encouragement: remember what it’s all about
It’s Christmas week! And that’s the most exciting thing ever. But today, you’re probably stuck at work, running around frantically finishing up shopping, or in a crowded loud house with your screaming kids because they’re on school break. You’re most likely stressed, tired, over baking Christmas cookies, upset your pants don’t fit, & are…

an ode to being 22 & to hoping they’ll still like me when I’m 23…
Today is my birthday & I am now 23. It’s weird to be this older age, yet still so young. A lot has happened this last year; tons of things that were welcoming & a few things that were completely uninviting. This year had it’s moments where it pushed me & shaped me, & one’s…

laugh a little: because tomorrow’s my birthday
Tomorrow is my birthday, & the greatest gift of all is laughter. So if you want to get me a gift, then just read this post & laugh away. I feel like the Internet grabbed these thoughts straight out of my head. Except for the ones about food, those ones they took from my…

monday morning encouragement: give what you can, because it is always enough
It’s that time of the year where I feel like we’re expected of so much—so much giving, so much gifting, so much spending, so much needed time, so much, so much, so much. It’s an overwhelming season & it drains the best of us. Most of us just feel like we have nothing left…

monday morning encouragement: be confident in who you are
Sometimes you find yourself at a standstill & you don’t know what to do. Your feet are firmly planted, but you can feel yourself start to sway from left to right. You need to move forward, but your mind is holding you back. You’re stuck in the ice & you don’t know if it’ll…

gift guide: it’s (almost) my birthday
December is the best month ever because it’s cold & festive, & everything is cheery & bright, & because it’s Christmas time, & also my birthday! I loved growing up with a birthday just a little over a week before Christmas because it felt like you got to celebrate it all month long. Most people…
