Advice To Myself At 18-Years-Old
Last Friday, I ran into one of my high school teachers. Even though I graduated thirteen years ago (ohmigoodness has it truly been that long ago?!) we recognized one another right away. Partly due to me working for him at summer camp for several years, but also because I come from a high school boasting…

A Coffee-Inspired Bridal Shower Gift Basket
This post is made possible by the delicious chai latte from Starbucks I’m drinking. I’m at the keyboard early this morning, having a little Me Time before heading to Indiana to celebrate the beautiful bride-to-be. It’s wedding season!

What’s Your Word for 2022?

#BlackLivesMatter
“Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy.” Proverbs 31:8-9 I don’t want to be silent, but I lack the words to express exactly how I feel. I have never woken and been…

Coping With COVID, Murder Hornets, and Closed Wineries
Coronavirus, murder hornets, economic instability — oh my! What an odd time in which we are living. 2020 has not been the start to a new decade that anyone expected. In the United States, the majority of the country has entered into some sort of “quarantine mode” with many businesses closing their doors/offices and forcing…
