  • Monday 5: Endurance & other things I’m excited about this week.

    This weekend was a good one. Friday evening we hosted Nicholas’ medical themed housewarming party and it was a good night. I had so much fun working on the preparations (white balloons with red crosses, candy as ‘prescription meds’, sangria as ‘type O negative’ wafers as ‘tongue depressors’, medical wristbands for guests) and I think…

  • Monday 5: ‘Modern Romance’ & other things to be excited about this week

    I hope your Mother’s Day weekend was filled with quality family time and (if you’re a mom) some well-deserved rest. Friday night we met up with some friends at one of my favorite spots in Charleston, The Vendue Hotel, which has a sweet rooftop bar. My go-to drink there is called Takes Two to Mango…

  • Maxi-nista

    I mentioned this maxi in my Monday 5 and promised a pic…so here you go! I came across it at T.J. Maxx so of course it was a steal! I love how flowy the maxi style is…so fun and feminine! My favorite part of it is probably how soft it is…so comfy! When cute and…

  • The ‘safe space’ we actually need

    I remember the first time I came across a ‘safe space’ on a college campus. While I had read and heard of these before, it felt a somewhat surreal to come across one in real life; it took seeing one in person to realize that this is something that is really happening…not just a story…

  • Monday 5: Cleveland edition

    Happy Monday! Do people ever ask you what you did over the weekend and you completely blank? That happens to me all the time and even now I’m having trouble recalling all that happened…and it’s not even over!! The highlight of the weekend was certainly a concerto competition we attended at University of South Carolina…

  • Unoffendable: The importance of living in truth in a culture of offense

    Unoffendable: The importance of living in truth in a culture of offense

    As a general rule, we’re not nice in our family. Snide remarks and brutal honesty prevail, and if you receive a compliment, it’s probably sarcastic (‘you’re a genius’ is one I get pretty frequently). Being sensitive, this dynamic caused me a lot of angst growing up. Storming off to my room in tears was not…

  • Monday 5: Trustful surrender & other things to be excited about this week

    Happy Monday! Today came a little too soon this week but I know writing about the things I’m excited about or looking forward to helps me muster up a little more enthusiasm about the new week. This weekend I was able to get in my share of social time. I caught up with friends over…

  • Monday 5: Commitment & other things to be excited about this week

    This weekend we had the best weather in Charleston. While Saturday was a little cloudy, the seventy degree temperature definitely made up for it, and Sunday was just perfect! I even found the motivation to go clean my car… something that has been on my to-do list for an embarrassingly long time. Better late than never!…

  • Monday 5: Careless free time & other things I’m excited about

    Happy Monday!! I hope everyone had a relaxing couple of days. On Friday, my dad, who lives in NC, and my sister, who studies at USC, came to visit my brother and me. We had the best time, enjoying the excellent cuisine Charleston has to offer, the beautiful weather and just spending time together. My…

  • Monday 5: This blouse by Zara & other things to be excited about this week

    Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a restful weekend. I finally have been feeling better and even socialized some this weekend! Very exciting. I did watch the Superbowl. Well, I was in a house in which the game was playing. And I occasionally looked at the screen… the food was in a different room so…
