If there is one thing my family loves to do it's grilling out. Maybe it's a Texas thing, but some of my favorite memories as a child are swimming in the backyard with my sister while my dad grills burgers and hot dogs. I recently went home and visited my family in Texas and of course, we had to have summer BBQ. My parent's just moved into a new home (downsizing after the 3 ...
Summer is here, or at least it feels like it. I do love the warm weather, but dressing for it can be a challenge. My style is pretty conservative and modest, so finding shorts long enough or tanks not too tight is a struggle. I have this weird thing where I don't like to wear tank tops and shorts together because I feel too exposed. I will typically wear a tank and jeans or ...
After many years I am in a place where I am very comfortable in my style. I can walk into a store and instantly know what's going to look good on me and what is going to fit in my closet. This is a blessing, but also a curse. I tend to get stuck in style ruts, always grabbing the same navy and white stripe tee, statement earrings, and sandals. I've been working with Banana ...
Today I wanted to share one of my go-to Spring casual dresses. I originally wore the Lainey dress from Lauren James in navy while I was in Austin and fell in love, so I had to pick it up in this gorgeous lilac color.

There’s just something fun about the number of options in sandals that I love, and of course all the fun colors. I received this pair of sandals from Koolaburra by Ugg, which is the little sister brand of Ugg. I’m a lifelong Ugg lover, ...
Erin Condren is the queen of planners, but before I actually got one and used it I always thought Erin Condren was something only teachers used. Although A LOT of teachers have Erin Condren they are perfect for everyone! Below is an Erin Condren LifePlanner Review from a non-teacher. Erin Condren LifePlanner Review I always thought I was a digital girl before my LifePlanner ...
This week in church we sang a song that really stood out to me. As so many people are graduating high school/college, looking for a new job or new boyfriend/husband it can be hard to trust God's plan. I might be writing this blog for myself, but maybe you could use the word of encouragement. The lyrics were... You go before I know That You've gone to win my war You come ...
One day a few weeks into planning I discover the wedding checklist tool from WeddingWire and Oh My Goodness, yall! It is EVERYTHING! This was the perfect thing for a quick gut check when I had a few minutes to spare and could check in on wedding planning without pulling out all my planning things or when I had a minor freak out moment and need to reassure myself I was on top of ...
