Share Your Passion

  Many things in life will catch your attention, but few things in life will capture your heart. When something does, at that point, you realize you have indeed found your passion. For me, the things that have caught my attention are without a doubt a wide and varied range – from writing, traveling, photography, [...]

Wide Open

  The rolling land greets you as if God has thrown his arms wide open to show you the vastness of this beautiful world we live in. As far as you can see, there is land. Bright, beautiful, amazing land. Occasionally, you’ll notice specks which on closer inspection leave you wondering if you are seeing [...]

Red Faced Runners

    The humidity in Georgia has been a bit stifling lately. So much so that as I began my run the last few days, I’ve started outside and then finished up my routine inside on my treadmill by way of my kitchen to grab a huge glass of ice water. By the time I [...]

Take the Shot {Mingle Monday}

    This weekend, I was able to spend a few minutes with a friend of mine who is a professional photographer. She is a second generation photographer, having learned all of the skills of the trade from her award-winning photographer father.

One of my favorite Dr. Seuss books has always been The Lorax. I remember reading it as a little girl and being so taken away with the illustrations, but now as a Mother I am more taken with the story. Seuss definitely makes you think about the world and your impact on it. We are [...]

Fear of Failing {Mingle Monday}

  Some of my best conversations with Little Buddy happen either when we’re driving in the car or at night after I’ve tucked him into bed and the lights have been turned out. That’s when we talk about dreams, the day’s activities, tell silly stories, or even just sit and sign for a little bit. [...]

Sunny Side Free Printables {Mingle Monday}

As my Grandmother would work in her home, she normally had the radio or a record playing. The music would vary from classic bluegrass tunes, to gospel greats, to good ole country songs. She’d hum or sing along to the infectious tunes and encourage my sister and me to dance around and sing as we [...]

You all have definitely shared so many beautiful crafts, desserts, and treats that you’ve left me wondering how I can possibly pack weeks of Valentine preparation into two days!  [...]
