Iced pumpkin cookies. Hoodies. Thanksgiving. The colors changing on the leaves. Bonfires. Great hiking weather. Cute boots and jackets. All of these are reasons why I love fall. There’s just one small problem…I know that winter is right around the corner! LOL. Listen, I do not like cold weather. And because I know that winter…

#Gratitude
Photo by Gabrielle Henderson on Unsplash So, I’ve been known to over-thank. I have a heart of gratitude that flows out of thanksgiving for all that the Lord has done. Minutes before my 32nd birthday, I decided to make a list of 32 things that I was grateful for while listening to worship music. It…
Pandemic Christmas parties with items from Dollar Tree!
I love Christmas! Like, LOVE. Spending time at church, giving gifts to classmates and school bus drivers, eating way too many desserts, singing Christmas carols, watching Christmas movies like Rudolph, the Red Nosed Reindeer or Frosty the Snowman or The Christmas Aunt…I love everything except putting up the tree! You can blame that on my…
I found a new roommate during the pandemic
Listen….my previous roommate (as of September of this year) and I had been roommates for 7 years! Crazy, right?! Well, she got married, and so ya know, she had to move out. I was filled with all types of emotions – I was excited for her since we’d been praying about marriage for all 7…
My love for Cato Fashions!
The people who know me well will tell you that I ABSOLUTELY (!!!) love Cato Fashions. I’d venture to say that at least half of my wardrobe is from Cato.

My favorite board games

Every now and then we took a break from those and played, good ol’ wholesome board games, card games, and other games that are close cousins of these. My best friend LOVESSS board…
I attended an Indian wedding during the pandemic
Like many people, I LOVE weddings. Plus, from what I’ve seen on TV and YouTube, Indian weddings seem to be unmatched! The colors, the music, the food, the traditions…need I go on? So, of course I jumped at the chance to go to one! July 2020 was my moment to finally experience it all. My…
Waiting and Dating
Waiting and Dating by Myles Munroe. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. I tend to take an academic approach to almost everything. How to jump start a car? Read about it first and then call my dad to make sure what I read was right (lolol). How to bake zucchini bread? Read about it first and then watch a YouTube…
Those flat tires will preach!
Rushing. Being in a hurry. I’m not always successful when I’m in a rush. Here is an example of this..in my mad dash from home one day in 2011 or 2012, I ran my car up on the sidewalk (maybe I hit a drain too?), came down, and ended up with two flat tires…bummer. All…
Favorite moments in South Africa
If you missed Part 1 and Part 2 of my South Africa stories, you might want to check those out for background. If not, no big. I like to live dangerously, too! I want to change my life!The group I was assigned to spent about 3 weeks talking to people about Jesus on the campus…
