If you have followed me on Instagram for any length of time, you know that I love musicals. This started way back in eighth grade music, and I am forever grateful for Ms. Moe for introducing me to theatre. It doesn’t really matter what level (high school, community, touring, Broadway…I love them all), it just […]
Winter foods are everything to me. My favorite winter comfort foods are found this time of year, so I am always sure to be comforted as much as I can in these short months. I have five favorites: 1. SOUPS + CHILI I love all soup; chicken noodle and chicken wild rice are two of […]
Vacation, all I ever wanted…amirite? Today I embark on another great adventure: Inspired Retreat by Amber Housley. Three nights and four days of refreshed growth. It is going to be amazing. I have some big plans in the works–including a product and design shop dropping in less than two weeks and an educational e-book that […]
COFFEE DRINKERS, RAISE YOUR MUGS! This past Wednesday was National Coffee Day, but to me, that’s everyday. How do I like to celebrate this auspicious holiday?

Author Andrea Davis Pinkey once said that “[o]ne of the many challenges of wearing many hats is that I love each and every one of them!” If that ain’t the truth, I don’t know what it. I have taken on many roles in my life; some have been temporary, others are forever markers of who […]
I am un abashedly proud dog mom. I always have been. I love all animals, I truly do…but dogs get the biggest part of my heart. Right now, that piece belongs to a 14-pound Jack Russell Terror–er, Terrier–names Benny. He just turned 4 years old in July, and it has been the best time being […]
I recently became aware about this new thing Instagram is doing: IG Reels. It is apparently their answer to TikTok, a platform I had avoided at all costs. Intrigued, however, I gave IG Reels a go… …AND I LOVE IT. Why? Well… 1.) I GET TO EDIT VIDEO A little known fact about me is […]
Out of all the chaos that the novel coronavirus has raged in our world, there has been some good. Last week I had the privilege of attending a conference that I otherwise never would have been able to “be at” if they hadn’t moved it online via Zoom. That conference was the Making Things Happen […]
Some people used this time to learn how to make sourdough. I learned a new way to wash my face by developing a natural skin care routine. I have the weirdest skin. It’s nice skin, don’t get me wrong; I have been so lucky that I have never had major problems. It’s not oily but […]
