    I’d like to pass along some of my favorite resources for keeping my home organized. I’m a big fan of spaces that are pretty and just as highly functional. Over the years, as my kids have grown up a little, I’ve been working hard at organizing our home. I want everything to have a place…

    Thoughts on the Fatal Shooting of Daunte White

    I’ve been letting my words sit for a little bit because I want to speak truth and life and have my emotions under control. But I have some words I need to share. If for no other reason than to get them out of my soul. I’ve done my best with my words, knowing and…

    Book Review of Restoration House

    Interior design books are probably my favorite genre to read. I love reading people’s stories and how they got to the home they have now. I have never read a design book that was so gospel-minded. I couldn’t put the book down and was constantly talking and processing what I was reading. Kennesha breaks the…

    Back in 2019, I decided that I wanted to challenge myself and only buy clothes for myself and my family secondhand. I had been thrifting off and on for a couple years and had access to a couple excellent shops. For a New Years resolution, I decided I was going to jump in the deep…
