2010-2019: Decade In Review!

HNY everyone!!! 2020 is on the horizon and I can't believe it! It's so surreal that 10 years ago I was a sophomore in HIGH SCHOOL (what) and now I'm sitting where I am, looking back at these past ten years, wondering how so much growth could have been packed into a tiny ten years. [...]

Review: Pink Blush Floral Maxi Maternity Dress

Hey folks, welcome to my first ever style review! I recently became an ambassador with Pink Blush Maternity and so far I'm LOVING the perks of having access to some of their cutest outfits to showcase my bump! Most recently, I was sent a floral maxi dress that I thought was definitely appropriate because A. [...]

First Trimester (woes & hoorays)

If you don't follow me on Instagram, you may not have heard: I'M PREGNANT! 🙂 Yep! Unexpectedly, Shane and I found out we are expecting our first baby in March! My first trimester was...interesting. I've always wanted to be a mom. Before I could even begin to comprehend what I wanted to do vocationally, I [...]

One Year Married!

We did it! It's totally unbelievable, but we've officially been married for one whole year. Gosh, time flies. This time last year (once the excitement from the wedding was all over), I was kind of stuck in this weird stage of in-between; on the one hand, I was so excited to finally be married to [...]

Will it Thrive? (Ezekiel 17:10)

While reading my Bible tonight, a verse stuck out to me more than any other had in a long, long time. So much so that I decided to hop on here and write up something totally impromptu about it. It's late, I'm tired, my cat is meowing incessantly that it's time for bed...so this will [...]

Hair Training Update

Hey, folks! I wasn't sure what to write about this week...it was a toss-up between hair and a deep-in-the-feels post. I honestly wasn't even expecting anyone to chime in with a preference...I was prepared to go through that internal battle solo. BUT, much to my surprise, so many of my IG squad actually reached out [...]

Head Cold Miracle Tea

A few days ago I came down with the dreaded "spring cold." You know...the kind you get when the weather is just starting to turn with the sun shining, flowers budding, and the birds chirping that spring is here. Colds that come at the start of spring are honestly not much different than winter colds [...]

Inside the Closet of an Enneagram 4

Ever tried dressing yourself in the morning & mysteriously become surrounded by a hoard of clothes? Ever have a vision for that day's outfit, only to have it totally NOT work the way you expected it to? Ever change your clothes 10+ times in one morning? Every cry real tears over this? I'm not saying [...]

On Lent

Hello people! Every month I make a personal goal to write/blog/journal more. Every month I fail. My last blog post was in January and it's now March. Pray that I gain the motivation to actually get myself on here & writing when I have an idea instead of saying "oh hey, that would make a [...]

Vineyard Purpose Gathering // 2019

I've been trying to organize my thoughts enough to write a quality piece about my biggest takeaways from the young adult conference we attended this weekend. (tl;dr) When all is said and done, all I can say is that 1. We learned the true meaning of a "Syracuse snowstorm" (seriously, winter does NOT mess around [...]
