I Left the House and Still Ordered from Amazon 😂
I’m not sure whether I love or hate shopping. I love certain kinds of shopping, but I don’t enjoy just browsing. I think it’s mostly because I don’t like a lot of the styles right now. I’m glad some of… Continue reading

Do you think everything happens for a reason? Absolutely. Sometimes the reason is because we’re dumb and don’t learn from anything. I think we’re all dealt quite a bit of suffering and quite a bit of joy in this life.… Continue reading

What’s your home decoration style? It’s pretty eclectic. I’d describe my home style as collected Southern eclectic with Mediterranean and cottage influences. It has arches throughout the house that give it a very Mediterranean feel, along with ironwork, warm wood,… Continue reading

Mentally Tired Tonight
We just dropped off dinner at Quan’s house in Pensacola. I wasn’t expecting to get out of the truck or anything like that, especially after what they’ve been through, but they were so appreciative that we brought them dinner. Her… Continue reading

Trust is Everything
I want to tell you a little bit about my husband this morning. Gary has always been open about the fact that he was sexually abused as a child, but that is obviously not something you bring up in everyday… Continue reading

Selling My Art Again
There have been a lot of good things happening lately, and I wanted to share a little life update. For the last couple of years, I’ve gone back and forth about whether I even wanted to sell my artwork again.… Continue reading

It’s become old..
You know… agape love is not always warm and fuzzy. In Christian theology, agape is often described as a love of the will rather than your feelings. It’s self-giving, sacrificial, and seeks another person’s good even when affection isn’t present… Continue reading

GLP-1 Weight Loss, Pain Relief, and Feeling Like Myself Again
Gary took me to the Chickpea House for lunch today. We had falafel and hummus, and it was amazing. It’s a Palestinian vegetarian restaurant I’ve been wanting to try because I keep hearing how amazing their food is. Next time,… Continue reading

I Caved.
I said I wasn’t going to order school clothes online this year, but I did. 😂 Most of it came from Amazon, and I got Norah a few things from American Eagle. I ordered Gage four pairs of jeans from… Continue reading

New Finds!
I tried the Chicken Shwarma for lunch today and it was really good! It’s 370 calories for one and 18g protein. Great little lunch! I love tahini sauce, but I skipped it and used the tzatziki dip that I had… Continue reading

Chicken Tenders & Flowers = Love
Looks like we’re going to get a little of that storm today, but honestly it looks pretty sloppy and unorganized, so I don’t think it’ll amount to much, but it IS big, so we shall see. I’ve had a really… Continue reading

New Paintings :)
I’ve been painting a lot. When Gary cleaned out the garage I even found some of my old sketchbooks in there. They are full of so many things that I want to paint. I love that. Apparently, at the time… Continue reading

New Week!
I woke up late this morning, and when I got up, I saw a text from Gary saying he had gone into work eight hours early. He’s so sweet. Before he left, he made my protein drink, vacuumed the living… Continue reading

Happy Sunday!
I’m spending mine binging Maxton Hall and vegging out in bed today. Gary’s working a double, and it’s been storming off and on. I laid out for a little bit this morning, but the weather is so spotty. I think… Continue reading

Speed Bump
We were headed out this morning when Gary stopped to help a man change a tire right past the entrance to our neighborhood. I’m trying not to be rude here, but I have to be honest: men just do not… Continue reading

Wednesday Already?
I can’t believe we’re already halfway through this week. I really don’t know where the time goes. I got up early with Gary this morning because I wanted to see him off before work. I also wanted him to give… Continue reading

Exactly What We Needed
Today was genuinely what all of us needed. It was so nice waking up next to my husband, knowing he would be home all day. We started the morning slow, enjoying breakfast in bed and talking for a while as… Continue reading

Healing Culture
I’ve noticed a pattern. Some of the people who talk the most about “healing” are also the quickest to gossip, shame, mock, and attack others online. They’ve learned the language, but not the lesson. Healing should make you more accountable,… Continue reading
