Adventures and musings from a girl trying to live everyday life in a way that honors the King.
“How do you do that?” People ask me often. “Do what?” I ask in return. “Make friends!” They almost yell at me. Come along. Let me teach you my ways lol. First off, don’t rush it! Remember that it takes time to build relationships. While there are some people who I click with immediately, they…
Y’all, I love reading…but we already know that. Black culture in the United States has been a fascinating topic to me as soon as I realized that Black people in this country are not a monolith. One of my first experiences with this was when I was a kid and my cousins from Maryland would…
This time of year is absolutely beautiful in Vermont. Covered bridges, horse-drawn carriage rides, hiking, and delicious food are waiting for you there! Early September to late October is the peak of the fall foliage season, but I’d recommend going before mid-October before the temperatures cool off. I went to Vermont in the Fall of…
When I was a kid, I read for the sheer joy of…#winning. Sure, at some point I really enjoyed reading – the adventure and escape of it all…but somewhere around the fourth grade that all changed when ya girl realized you could win the AR jackpot if you read enough books! AR was the “Accelerated…
Alright, so I don’t usually put food reviews on my blog…but I tend to switch things up every now and then, and it’s time for more food reviews because this is a food-lovin’-blog, too! So, I recently learned about Deez Cookies from an article in The Columbus Dispatch. I thought it was super dope that…
I love libraries like people love summer nights, ice cream, and chocolate. Yes, y’all; it’s deep. Walking into a library for me is almost as comforting as walking into your favorite auntie’s house – you know where the best snacks are…you want to grab a comfy chair and relax type of comfort. I’m that person…
Just about every Valentine’s Day over the last *cough* number of years, I have been single and unbothered. I’ve always loved February 14th. I love chocolates, cards, flowers, romantic comedies, heart-shaped pizza…you get my drift. Every year, I send Valentine’s Day cards to my family and try to find cute things to give to my…
“Promise Auntie one thing… That you’ll learn another language. It’s the way our country is going. Believe me now; I’m telling you the truth.” I’d like to say these words from my aunt gently nudged me to start studying Spanish again but it was more like they GNAWED at me! “Is that You, Lord?” I…
Listen, I remember being ’bout 13, 14 years old and one of the LAST brands you wanted to have on was Champion. Chile, if you had on Champion, everybody knew ya mama had taken you to Walmart to buy your new clothes. And Lord knows you didn’t want to have on a Champion tee with…
I LOVE spending time with my family! They are the silliest cast of characters I know. They were the ones who taught me to shape stories and engage an audience. We got together recently to celebrate my dad’s (center) 60th birthday. I was so excited to see them because I don’t get to see them…
