A Fireside Chat // Fall Decor Inspiration for Your Mantle
I am absolutely obsessed with fireplaces. When house hunting, whether or not a house has a functioning fireplace falls somewhere between “Does it have a roof?” and “Is there at least one full bathroom?”. Only slightly exaggerating here — my husband knows full well that if there is no place to cozy up by the…
How to Throw a Party Without Cleaning Your House // Flower Arranging Party
If I could sum up this time of year in one word, it would be hectic! Between trying to squeeze the last drop of goodness out of summer before it’s gone, kids starting school and shifting back into a new routine, life has become absolutely nuts for so many of us! With all you have…
Self Affirmation // 3 Women + Their Journey Toward Self Confidence
You’re not good enough. You’re not smart enough. You’re not wanted. There’s a mean girl living in my brain, and all she does is speak negativity on repeat. There are times her voice is louder than others, but try as I may to ignore her, she doesn’t seem to go away. Even one of my…

![Perspective. I’ve had a long conversation about this subject with myself over the past 24 hours. It sounds silly even saying it, but last night I got so frustrated when one of my nails chipped because “I NEEDED THEM TO LOOK GOOD FOR A VIDEO SHOOT TOMORROW” and then this morning I pulled a classic makeup fail and dropped my eyeshadow and it shattered so again, I was angry, frustrated, annoyed, etc. And then I stopped myself. I don’t know if you’ve been following along of @lindsayletters.co and her precious daughter, but that family has been on my mind constantly over the past month. As I stared down at my broken eye shadow all I could think about is how it must feel for Lindsay and her husband to look down at their precious daughter and despite how broken things may feel right now, they are beautifully claiming God’s provision and promise for the future while in the midst of the excruciating present. We all have things [and this my friends, was not even a “thing”] but it’s what we do with those moments that can turn a broken palette into a beautiful masterpiece. And ps. If you haven’t already, please consider praying for @lindsayletters.co and @dugansherbondy and beautiful little Eva ❤️](http://scontent-sea1-1.cdninstagram.com/vp/51a5acd80644f24d99c6dbbeedc13f46/5E1CBA0E/t51.2885-15/sh0.08/e35/s640x640/69470034_405620503698526_7936848937660903511_n.jpg?_nc_ht=scontent-sea1-1.cdninstagram.com&_nc_cat=110 "Perspective.
