About 2.5 years ago, I moved from my hometown of Nashville, Tennessee to Orlando, Florida. There are distinct differences in the two states, but a common misconception is that it is much hotter in Florida than it is in Tennessee. Let me go ahead and bust that myth for ya! In my experience, Florida and […]
Y’all, I have got the itch. The “all things fall” itch. Usually August is always a tough month for me when it comes to decorating. I was always starting school in August as either a student or a classroom teacher, and so it was a weird spot to be in–“summer” being over, school being in, […]
So I totally intended on doing just one outfit pick of the month for July, but I asked yall during a quick coffee chat what you wanted on my Insta Stories… I was so surprised that 90% of you wanted to see another outfit for July! Yall know, I just don’t put a lot of […]
When July hits, it’s kind of a surreal feeling: a change in the calendar that everyone notices in a different way. For some of us, it’s a brand new quarter. For others (teachers/parents/kids), it’s a sign that summer is halfway over (how did that happen so fast?!). And for everyone, it’s an indication that half […]

Dear Mom, I know your heart is so full for your child. Your love is bursting. Overflowing. Bold. Mighty. Unending. Genuine. Your love for your child is so pure. They just aren’t here yet. I don’t know where your life situation, body, or journey is, but I know your heart. I feel your pain. Your circle of friends […]
Florida, Florida, Florida. I can’t stop talking about Florida. It really took me a while to get adjusted to God’s promise of us living in Florida. I didn’t love the weather or palm trees (blasphemy!). My husband is a beach bum, while I am a mountain girl. However, after about a year and a half, […]
Yall, I love to entertain. It gives me great joy to have people over, cook them a meal, and make sure they are comfortable in our home. When Zack and I lived in Nashville, we would have friends and family over often–for dinner, parties, or just to hang out. It was always a joy of ours […]
Yall have heard me on my soapbox lately about how I have not yet perfected my spring holiday decor. I went into the homes of friends and family whom I really respect and love their style. Sisters Carrie and Sherry are such inspiration for me! With Easter being right in front of us (and seemingly […]
March is here, St. Patrick’s Day is coming: Time to “Get Your Green On!” I don’t know about yall, but these spring holidays are the hardest for me to decorate tastefully! I have been taking a peek into my friends and family’s homes to tap into their classic ways to decorate for these holidays! Today, […]
The Countdown to Valentine’s Day continues! Before I get into the gift giving posts, I wanted to chat about Valentine’s Day gifts that are absolutely free. This time of the year– post-Christmas, mid-tax season–is always heavily weighted as what to purchase. Roses jack up in price, the most expensive restaurants are being booked (weeks in […]
Being a teacher by trade, I understand the struggle with crafts–especially when it comes to a class of 20 six-year-olds. I get the swell of pride a child gets when giving away their over-glued and glittered craft to their parent–the joy a parent gets when they receive this gift from their bright-eyed and sticky child. […]
February is here, and it is nearly Valentine’s Day! I am so excited to announce another blog series that I have been working on: Count Down to Valentine’s Day! This series will contain 6 different blog posts featuring the top 5 of their category! Let’s start off with The Countdown to Valentine’s Day #6: Valentine’s […]
Follow my blog with Bloglovin I love home decor. Have I said it enough lately!? I love everything about finding new pieces to add to the feel of our home. I especially love when these new items come with a nice price tag (my husband likes it too!) Here’s a collection of 25 awesome farmhouse […]
If you’re a holiday decorator like me, you find the joy in so many different parts of the year. Spring–yellows, pastels, lighter colors to bring us out of the winter dullness. Then St. Patrick’s Day and Easter, enhancing on all the spring colors. Summer–celebrating the fourth of July, our country, and big bold colors. Fall–Halloween, Thanksgiving, […]
Boy, do I love my kitchen! Even if it isn’t the chef’s kitchen that I desire (one day!), I thoroughly enjoy the kitchen atmosphere. Cooking, baking, meal prepping, sharing a meal–it is one of my favorite parts of my home. I have had a kitchen (or two) to call my own for about 5 years […]
In many homes, the kitchen is the heart of the home. I love my kitchen! It isn’t my ideal kitchen with beautiful counter tops, a huge island, and farmhouse sink, but I have worked hard to add little details to my kitchen to make myself and guests feel right at home when they walk in. […]
The farmhouse look has gone wild, and I can’t pretend that I am not in love with it! I grew up in a rustic and antique home with a thrifty and creative mother, so this trend has really behoved me and the resources that I already have! For my home, I really enjoy adding new […]
