I’m linking up with Emily Freeman‘s blog to share the things that I learned in December. It was going to be ten things that I learned in December, but then I thought of another thing and didn’t want to cut anything out, so it’s eleven things. YOLO, and all that. In December I learned that: 1. Stressing […]

Since 2011 I have sought the Lord before the start of each new year to get a feel for what He’s doing in my life, and to get my word for the new year. Unlike resolutions, the word serves as an overarching theme and guide for the year. The word will usually come to me […]

This post is woefully–2 months, to be precise–overdue. Without further ado, I give you: London (through my eyes). There was an EPIC storm in London while we were there–record winds and lots of damage.

Earlier in December I spent a weekend (the last weekend of my 20s!) in Cara Maggie’s adorable Asheville home, which she shares with her […]

These businesses all have super cute items […]

You know when you’re reading the Bible, and a passage of scripture just leaps off the page and punches you in the face? (In like, a good way. Not a scary, horrible way, like actually being punched in the face probably would be. Anyway.) I had that experience the other day with Luke 17:21, when […]

Y’all… could we please talk about Stitch Fix for a minute, and how amazing it is? I met several of the Stitch Fix stylists at Influence, and they are just the sweetest, most delightful girls, who have a genuine desire to help the rest of us bust out of our fashion ruts (am I the […]
