/Reading Log Update
I’ve still been working on my reading log! Here are my favorite tips and tricks!
/Dessert for Breakfast
Do you want an easy recipe that is endlessly customizable and oh-so delicious? I have been on a smoothie kick the past two months and I am loving it! Breakfast for me and my kid as easy as throwing stuff in the blender? Sign me up!
/The Importance of Routines
Being home all day with the baby can start to feel like purgatory if you aren’t careful! Routines and healthy habits are so important! Let’s get into it.
/What’s in My Diaper Bag?
I have a love/hate relationship with diaper bags, and most of the time I stubbornly won’t use one. That causes problems sometimes, though! Let’s get into it.
Teen Angst
Let’s talk about our kids’ mental health and read a poem I wrote when I was deep in the trenches of spiritual warfare.
/Watching the Lord Work
I love making plans and trying to be the author of my story, and it can be difficult for me to remind myself Who is in control! The Lord has been at work in my life, y’all- in beautiful ways I could not have engineered for myself. Praise God that He is a loving Father, that He knows all things, and that He wants all good things for those that love Him and are called according to His purpose!
/Minimalism in a World of Fast Fashion and OVEr CONSUMPTION
I’ve mentioned the celebration of over consumption and the rat race that it can be easy to get sucked into. It is so easy to feel the need to buy buy buy as a woman! New shoes, outfits, makeup, accessories, home decor, the list goes on and on. Let’s get into it!
/Wedding Scrapbook
I got married in February of 2024… better late than never, though! Right? I finally started my wedding scrapbook. Let’s get into it.
/Honing a New Skill
I wrote a sweet children’s picture book, and I had the desire to create beautiful acrylic paintings to illustrate the book myself. This was a HUGE learning curve! “A Dog, A Cat, and Their Boy” has been so much fun to work on, and I can’t wait to read my son the book inspired by his life with his pets!
/My Experience with Writing Competitions
I entered NYCmidnight’s flash fiction writing competition. 1,000 word short stories in less that 48 hours! Let’s get into it.

There were so many things I thought I would need that I simply didn’t, but there were a few gems! Check out my list of lifesaving and helpful baby items.
/Art Challenges
I teamed up with a friend to try and complete a watercolor painting everyday in May based off the 31 Doodlewash prompts for the month. Let’s get into it!
Everything New Moms Don’t Need
My little guy is six months old now, and there are so many things I was made to think I needed that I just didn’t use. Why do we feel the need to fill our houses up with baby stuff clutter? Let’s get into it.
