Project 52 | Week 2: Sibling Rivalry + Link-Up!

This past week, I read Genesis 25-42. I'm so thankful for the richness and relevance of God's word. It's truly timeless and contains all of the answers to life's questions.

Daniel Fast Preparation + Channeling My Inner 'Jenny from the Block'

Happy Sunday, LOVES! It was cold & rainy in Dallas this weekend. Hubby had drill (he's an ARMY reservist), so ladies weekend, it was. Kendall spent the holidays with her grandparents on her mom's side, so it's been a month or so since we last saw her. She was definitely missed this Christmas. I spent the better part of the day on Saturday doing laundry and cleaning. Later on, we headed to a birthday party, attended Saturday service, and met up with some friends for di… Read more

"Stripes are the Neutral of the Print World"

...according to Bette Midler in her recent interview with O-Dub (a.k.a. Oprah, honey). I disagree, though. I happen to think leopard is the neutral of the print world. But what the heck do I know?! ;) Anyway, Bette is clearly on to something because Glamour Magazine listed Bold Stripes in their Spring 2013 Most Wearable Fashion Trends line-up. So when Marion of Marionberry Style selected this timeless trend for January's Trend of the Month link-up, I totally had to jump on the ban… Read more
