    Happy Birthday, Mom!

    The past five days have been a wild ride full of emotion, hair pulling, sleepless nights and lots of DIY but I will be back to tell you ALL about it later this week. Today I wanted to take the time to wish my very favorite woman, my mom, a very happy birthday. I think a lot of women are close to their moms and I pray that everyone is lucky enough to have a mom like mine. I’m very fortunate to be able to say that she really is my best friend and for the most part, we’ve always been that way. She has always been such a Godly…

    Tuesday Tea: Beggin’ for Money

    Well, not really beggin’ but we kinda are. If you’ve followed this little blog of mine since last year, you may already know that Cory and I are going to Africa this summer. Last summer, Cory spent two weeks in Rwanda and we will be heading back in June. I was heartbroken when I couldn’t go last year and swore to myself I wouldn’t stay home again.

    Five on Friday

    Five on Friday

    Happy Friday, y’all! Sorry I’ve been MIA this week. I tried to come up with a good excuse but the only one I can come up with is I’ve been a little under the weather with some kind of cold. I almost always get sick when the weather changes and since it went from snow last week to 70 degrees this week, it was inevitable. It’s been a good week to be MIA though because I’ve been stumped on post ideas. #winning Anyway, on to my Five on Friday! linked up with darci, april, christina and natasha. SinceĀ AmberĀ and I have become instant best friends, we’ve started watching Pretty Little Liars…
