Ahh, living alone. It’s great, isn’t it? I absolutely love it. Of course, I share my space with Charley, but his eight pound frame is hardly intrusive. Plus, he’s never too loud and only has a couple of toys to make a mess with. I’ve found the following items extremely useful in my apartment over the [Continue Reading…]

Huge Savings for College Students!
Those of y’all who have been readers for a while know that I love to write about my college experience, what I learned, and what advice I’d like to pass on. In fact, my top three posts of all time are: What Every College Freshman Really Needs To Know What Every College Freshman Really Needs [Continue Reading…]
This Season Requires Tissues…and not for allergies!
No one told me what life would really be like after graduating college. Well, that’s not completely true. Plenty of people said that my life will be terrible and difficult and “the real world sucks,” all of which I rejected immediately. But no one told me about the beauty and the change and the way [Continue Reading…]
10 Lessons I’ve Learned a Year Into Working Full Time
I was going to title this post “10 Lessons I’ve Learned a Year Into the Real World,” but I really hate the term “real world.” It’s just obnoxious. There’s nothing more real about this world as opposed to the world I lived in five years ago. My responsibility has increased (especially my financial responsibility), but [Continue Reading…]
Summer Goals For 2014
Can you believe it’s June? Heck, can you believe that we’re halfway through 2014? No joke, the other day I almost wrote 2011 as the date. Where are these years going? WHAT IS HAPPENING? Alright, back to earth now. I really love goals (I write about that a lot), especially personal goals. Lately, though, all [Continue Reading…]

{Sponsored Post} Arctic Chill Ice Ball Maker
I’m an ice snob. I think I inherited it from my parents, who both have distinct opinions regarding the shape and texture of their ice. It’s so bad that we purchase Sonic ice by the bag when we’re on family vacation at the beach. As crazy as it is, I don’t think I’m alone in [Continue Reading…]
Happy Random Acts of Kindness Day! (Giveaway)
Did you know that February 17th was Random Acts of Kindness Day? Neither did I. Until this morning, when I received an automated text message from a company I subscribe to reminding me. Thank you, random arts and crafts supply store, for letting me know. I love random acts of kindness. (Who doesn’t?) I think [Continue Reading…]
Take Notes From 2 Year Olds
Working at church in Early Childhood, I spend all week preparing for Sunday mornings, when the campus is flooded with little smiles and sticky hands and tiny shoes. My heart melts as young families bustle through the doors, a bit overwhelmed and frazzled as they rush to check their kids in, get them to the [Continue Reading…]
…and sometimes it’s just joy.
Life doesn’t discriminate. It throws it all at us all. There will be sorrow. Disappointment. Anger. Resentment. Sometimes it’s what could have been or what was. It’s hurt, it’s pain, it’s knowing you’re wrong. It’s wishing to go back, it’s wishing to fast forward…. …and sometimes it’s just joy. I awoke this morning in a [Continue Reading…]
