…and then she turned 30! When I look back on my 30th birthday week, I am completely overwhelmed. It started with my mom and brother coming into town and surprising me with his girlfriend (who I’ve talked with through text so hugging her in person was a hilarious mix of hugging a dear friend and […]

my top 10 moments of my 20s
I’ve been doing a lot of reflection as my 30th birthday draws near. 30! Geez. It sounds crazy and yet feels so natural. I honestly feel like I’ve been 30 for a long time. I made a lot of really “adult” decisions in my early-20’s (getting married, moving across the country, having kids, buying houses, […]
retreet resort in scottsboro, alabama — a doggy collaboration
You may remember my stay at ReTreet Resort back in November. It’s a beautiful, foresty resort that you honestly need to visit to fully appreciate. In December, they reached out asking if I’d be willing to collaborate with them again. They were wanting to spotlight that they are pet-friendly and Appa was a gorgeous model […]
my word for 2024
Dream. It’s a word that’s been on my heart for several weeks, which tells me it’s clearly what God wants for me in 2024. To rekindle dreams I’ve let die. To conceive and birth new dreams. And to believe that God wants to, can fulfill, and will exceed every dream I have. “Now to him […]
2023 in review
My word for 2023 was HEALTHY, and I think the enemy saw this as a challenge to bring me struggle. It’s a story that contains years of information, but since the Summer of 2022, I’ve been doing bloodwork, seeing doctors, having conversations, suffering from debilitating problems that were keeping me from events and hindering my […]

2023 – when adoption was painful
2022 was marked by adoption – making the decision, fundraising constantly and diving into the paperwork left us exhausted. 2023 has left me a completely different way though… it has left me heartbroken and, at times, defeated. Would you believe me if I admitted I’ve had moments where I’ve tearfully told God “I can’t do […]

hi, hey, hello – shaver creative
I’ve been told for a long time I’m good at social media, and I actually really enjoy it. I’ve found my niche of goodness and have experienced firsthand the beauty social media can bring. Deciding to launch this as a business was a slow unfolding, with a lot of thought and research behind it. I […]
from the girl who said she’d never do the young living business…
This is my third attempt at network marketing… did you know that? I ran with two other companies with this business style. The first was horrible. I hated it and was happy when I was out. The second I still share and stand behind but it’s not something I do full-on anymore. But this one […]
intentions for autumn – 2023
Alabama doesn’t have the gradual transition into Fall as other states do. Ours can be abrupt and I can find myself impatient while I wait for it to feel like Autumn. But I’ve decided to take a different path this year – a path of intentionality regardless of the weather report. One that focuses inward. I […]
