3 Steps to a Simple Holiday Season
November 26, 2014
The holiday season is a time for family, friends, music, and smiles, lots of smiles. But the reality is that it can be exhausting and downright stressful. Traveling, shopping, cooking, cleaning, events, and just the immense pressure to get things picture ready. So today I want to help simplify that process with three simple steps to make this holiday season your best.

Tenacious Courage
November 17, 2014
‘Follow me,” Jesus said to him, and Levi got up, left everything and followed him.
I love reading those stories that talk about the regular Jane taking a leap of faith and doing something seemingly irrational that leads her to the life she’s always imagined. There’s something in those narratives that the human spirit grasps and holds onto tightly.

It’s here! The weekend is here! This week has been great to me, but it certainly didn’t start that way. A lot of running around town completing errands and trying to keep my head leveled. I’m still a bit off balance, but afternoon naps have been a blessing.

Darling, let's have a chat...
How do you imagine your life? What do your mornings look like? How do you spend your days? Where are you eating? Who’s at your table? What’s the conversation like?
Style
There are days when you’d rather snuggle under a comfy duvet cover than surface to meet the daily demands of the day. These are usually the days when all I want to wear are sleepwear: silks, cottons, and comforting clothes. But for many of us the demand of life cannot be easily ignored so we’ve got to put on our best suit and combat the day. When these days come, regardless of the season, I have a sorta kinda guide that I use to keep me chic, but comfortable. I call this style chic comfort for the feeling I like to get during that day.

My favorite time of the day has got to be the morning. I love waking up to a new day of great and endless possibilities. But what I love most about mornings is breakfast. My absolutely favorite meal of the day.
Breakfast for me is a time of calmness. It’s a moment to enjoy my first meal of the day slowly while I examine my schedule for the day. I find breakfast to generally be the easiest meal to prepare. So today I’d like to share a few of my favorite quick breakfast recipes. Let me know what you think.

The Spirit of Peace
November 10, 2014
the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Peace.
I remember an excerpt from one of my favorite books that says “the key to your peace is not the absence of conflict. No, it’s the presence of God”. We don’t have to understand it, as a matter of fact, it’s beyond understanding. God blesses each of us with talents, gifts that go beyond the tangible, but I believe His most precious gift to us is Himself.
Weekend
Boy, did I need all of His grace this week. So I’m especially looking forward to this weekend and I’ve designated this Sunday as bed day (staying in between cozy blankets all day). I’m turning on the jazz station, opening up my Bible, my magazines, and having me a breakfast platter and tea all day. Just thinking about it is already easing my tension.

The Confident Woman
November 6, 2014
Darling, let’s have a chat…
I came across a post via tumblr some while ago, it originated from a Joyce Meyer devotion and sermon by the same name: The Confident Woman. Having just read the title I knew further exploration was necessary. So in I delved.
Style
Every girl has a a clothing item that just goes with almost any event or occasion. Today I'd like to introduce you to mines, these cobalt blue and white floral dress-ish pants. Picked up about a year ago from Forever 21. These have been a staple piece in my closet. Goes exceptionally well with an oversized blouse, a soft sweater, or nearly anything you can put on (within reason, of course).

Tranquil Bathroom Spaces
November 4, 2014
I love pinning room décor. One of my favorite rooms is the bathroom, right after the kitchen. I believe that those rooms can bring so much peace and tranquility when they reflect our personality and style. We may not all have the resources to get exactly what we’d like, but that does not mean we cannot create a space that brings rest and rejuvenation. So with that said, I’d like to share a bit of my style and personality with a few gorgeous and relaxing bathroom spaces.
Enjoy, my dear!

Love & Faithfullness
November 3, 2014
Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man.
Proverbs 3:3-4
The last few weeks have been quite a challenge for me. I’m in my final semester of my Masters graduate program and things have really began to pick up. Papers, exams, and of course final presentations to wrap it all up. In the mist of it all I’ve been out of touch with my morning devotions which has truly thrown things out of whack for me.
