Jenny & Savannah of MAIEDAE started a series called Sunday is our Sabbath. I love it. It is just the weekly reminder I need to slow down, unplug, breathe, destress, spend time with people without stressing over deadlines, times and to-do lists. They have a weekly challenge focused on slowing down and a hashtag to use to share with others (all on Monday of course....we are trying to unplug ;) ) My husband (and everyone else who knows me) has been commenting on my stress levels lately. I ... continue reading...
War Eagle Mill Arkansas
When we were in Arkansas for my little sister's wedding, we made sure to get some touristy things in there.

Wash and cut ... continue reading...
November Goals
When I started October I knew it was going to busy but what I did not know was just how busy it would be! It was an emotional whirlwind of life and I spent much more of my free time sleeping rather than working on my blogging goals. I think that is why making monthly goals is so important. You always have something to be intentional on but you can just push them all to the next month if you are feeling a little overwhelmed! November is birthday month in these parts. I'll probably send ... continue reading...
