My favorite summer beauty products

Beauty

So I thought since we are fully into summer at this point that it might be a good time to share my current summer beauty favorites. But, first, I wanted to share this beauty. Fearless Faith is my new one hundred day devotional for girls that officially releases on Tuesday, August 7th. My friend Heather Gauthier did the cover art, just like Church of the Small Things and Everyday Holy, and Read More

Fashion Friday: Edition I almost missed this entirely

Diary, Fashion

Happy Friday! Here's the problem with summer. I totally lost track of my days this week and only realized it was Thursday around 8:00 p.m. and so this edition of Fashion Friday almost didn't happen. I mean technically I knew it was Thursday but I guess I just didn't process it. Anyway, before we get to the fashion portion of today, I wanted to share a quick deal that's going on right now Read More

What’s cooking? Besides me. In this heat.

Another day, I'm cooking

So our summer is off to a good start. We've had a lot of doing nothing which is not a complaint. At some point I'm hoping I'll get bored enough to start cleaning out closets and such, but I'm not there yet. Right now I'm choosing to spend my down time watching Netflix and reading books. My people spent a few days fishing in Louisiana and they got back last night. I was so glad to see them Read More

Fashion Friday: Edition it’s still hot here

Diary, Fashion

Well. It's still hotter than ever here, just in case you were wondering. At some point I'll quit talking about it but that day is not today. I just need you to know it was so hot that when Caroline and I stopped at Sonic today to get drinks while we were running errands that the ice in my unsweet peach tea melted before I finished drinking it. That's just wrong. But that's not really Read More

No more pencils, no more books and no more lunches to pack

Another day

Hello and welcome to Summer 2018! I'm so happy that we are out of school that I will do my best to not even complain about how hot it already is for early June. Except it really is so very hot. But I don't have to pack a lunch for approximately the next 100 days and that feels like a victory. Caroline got out of school last Thursday and she celebrated by going shopping all day with Read More

Fashion Friday: Edition it’s officially summertime here

Diary, Fashion

Today is our first official day of summer vacation. I mean, technically, we've already had a few days off due to the high school finals schedule and Caroline's exam exemptions, but yesterday was truly the very last day. I guess that means my baby is now a sophomore in high school and I don't even understand how that has happened. Needless to say, I'll be soaking in some downtime with my Read More
