Whew! What an unbelievably busy week I’m in the midst of right now. But you know what? I have really felt how much this project has changed me for the better because I’m going through busier days than normal. For instance, in the past, on a crazy day I would let stress take over and…

Positivity Project: Week 3
I am currently on Week 3 of a June project to work towards a more positive frame of mind. During Week 1, I focused on overall gratitude, counteracting a negative situation with all the things I am grateful for. During Week 2, instead of just counteracting negative thought, I worked on (and continue to work…
Positivity Project: Week 2 Follow-Up
Over the past two weeks, I have been working on a Positivity Project to alter my frame of mind, transitioning to increased gratitude and joy for all that I’ve been given by God’s grace. This week (Week 2), the theme was “Taking Negative Thoughts Captive.” My goals were as follows: Any time I think a…
Positivity Project: Week 1 Follow-Up
Running a day late with this post, but still on track with my schedule for the Positivity Project! Over the past week, I’ve been focusing on gratitude in order to progress towards a mindset of positivity. My three goals this week were: Three items of gratitude for one negative thought/attitude – Anytime I am tempted…
Present in the Storm
In February, we bought a little 1940s cottage in a town just northwest of Louisville called New Albany. We’ve really fallen in love with it–our street is quiet and peaceful, and the house itself is cozy and full of charm. It has a good-sized backyard with a detached garage that backs up to an alley…
Getting Great Manicures at Home
About a year ago, I was working 60-80 hours a week as well as selling LuLaRoe during any free moments. During that season, I would go get a manicure every few weeks as a method of stress relief from the craziness of life. It was a great way to have some time to myself for…
My Ten Favorite Opalhouse Items
Have you heard? Target released a new home decor line yesterday! It’s called Opalhouse, and it is absolutely amazing. It reminds me quite a bit of Anthropologie Home. When I registered for our wedding, I registered at Anthropologie because I adore their home collection so much! However, we’ve been really disappointed by the quality compared…
Gratitude
My natural, sin-infused outlook on life tends to be one of negativity. I don’t naturally see the blessings of everyday life; I tend to focus on the problems that are all around me. While I may not verbally complain all the time, my mental state is not one of thanksgiving. This is easy to do,…
Game-Changing Eyeliner
I’ve definitely made some questionable fashion choices in my lifetime. Some of the stuff that I thought was really cute in high school definitely was not. I think my tastes have refined a little bit since then though…hopefully. When it comes to makeup, I love to try new things. I like bold colors with eyes…
Why “Grace Over Guilt?”
I mentioned in my last post that I made a decision during the spring of 2017 to start writing for the sake of writing again. It was during this time that I actually began to write a book…that I have yet to finish. I thought I could write about a particular topic for 150 pages or…
