Last year I wrote this post about swimsuits. And about all the body insecurities that seem to constantly plague me. Interestingly enough, writing a blog post about said insecurities doesn’t magically make them disappear. Another year older and another year battling the lies about what it means to be beautiful. Another year making intentional decisions to […]

Every Sunday afternoon I pull out all my cookbooks and my handy meal planner worksheet and grocery lister. Then I spend a silly amount of time choosing the right meals for the week, overthinking what will work best for each night’s different schedules and simultaneously doing my very best to plan healthy meals with healthy ingredients.

When your husband is the best dressed guy you know you feel a responsibility to share such knowledge with the world. And in the middle of winter when most of us want to grab the easiest and warm thing in our closets, a put together look is often last on our priority list. So I’ve made […]
There are dream projects and dream clients and then there are projects and clients that are more than a dream, they are an encouragement, a reminder of true beauty and the value of purpose and the value of pursuing a dream that helps to change lives. What a joy to work on such a brand with a group […]
Since my college days, specifically since fall of 2003, my heart yearns for daily time in God’s Word. Over the past 14ish years since then I have gone through many life seasons: from college student to engaged college student to married college student to barely-out-of-college-new-mama to church planter’s wife to working mama of 3 littles.

A year or so ago Shay Cochrane and I did a little video interview about how we as business-owning-mamas “do it all.” The very first line out of my mouth was: “dry shampoo.” While we laughed at my poking fun at the fact that no one “does it all” or at least, no does it all well, […]
