I blogged about my recent bridal shower for my church, Grace Community of Madison County. You can read the post on their website.

Proud of this post I just wrote for my church, Grace Community in Berea, KY. Thoughts on the Panthers vs. Giants [highly disappointing  game my fiance, my grandma (yes, she’s seriously that cool), and I just attended. Would you check it out? Even leave a comment? Thanks!

Just read a blog post that summed up modesty in the best way I’ve seen! So, those previous posts of mine fumbling around the issue of modesty? Just read this godly lady instead! I found her blog by way of The Gospel Coalition. Read that post as well, especially if you’re a mom! According to her bio,…

One of my challenges was, and has been, financial management. Without saying too much about my developing budgeting skills, let’s say I got myself in a bind…

Coffee shops simply come alive with stories, you almost need two dedicated pens to capture it all.  The whirl of the espresso machine as it doles out one’s daily allotment of legal addictive stimulant. The barista’s quick, “Hi, how are ya?” followed by a rapid staccato of, “Thanks, have a nice day!” Ceramic cups catch glints of the setting sun as…

I mean, I would say my standards are more modest than MTV, for example, but modesty is totally subjective unless we pair it against the ULTIMATE standard. Before I give you guys that standard I mentioned, thought I’d explain why…

This past week I’ve been on vacation with my rocking awesome (and super hot! yes, I said it) fiance. As I am waiting to transition to a new position within my company, I have found a BUNCH of unexpected free time on my hands. While I have used the time to tackle overdue chores like…
