What we can learn from Chip & Joanna Gaines
Although I don’t spend a ton of time watching TV, over the past few months my family and I have watched our fair share of HGTV’s Fixer-Upper.

Does it make sense to have rules for dating?
Do you ever wish there was a guide about how to like, date? Not something out of Cosmo or The Bachelorette but actual good advice that is applicable to your average non-famous girl? One place that has all the if-then cases possible and general guidelines for us to follow? That would be awesome, right? Dating…

What my dog taught me about letting things go
Rimsky is a 3-year-old Boykin Spaniel. Things he loves include barking at the neighbors’ dogs, being petted and, of course, chasing tennis balls we throw for him. The thing is, Rimsky can become very attached to his tennis ball. Once he’s caught it, he really doesn’t want to let it go. Unfortunately for Rimsky, he…

Confessions of a twenty-year-old drama queen
You know those scenes (often found in Disney movies) where the female protagonist runs into her room, highly upset, slams the door and throws herself on her bed before beginning to cry uncontrollably?

Monday’s can be rough. Prime example, this morning I got up an hour after I had originally intended to & proceeded to lie on the couch with my sister instead of beginning to get ready- then I couldn’t decide what to wear (it was one of those ‘I hate everything in my closet’ mornings) –…
