  • 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…

  • ‘All the feels’: What 40 days without music taught me about the emoticoaster

    So 40 days without music might be a slight exaggeration. What it really was is 40 days without music…in the car. As I mentioned when it started, in Christian tradition we have a period of 40 days before Easter when we often make some sort of sacrifice and/or add in some sort of spiritual practice…

  • 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…

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

    Happy Monday! I want to first and foremost apologize for no Monday 5 last week! Due to some, um, inattention on my part, I was stuck in North Carolina one more day than planned…without a laptop, #nothelpful. In any case, both last weekend and this one were nice. last weekend I got to explore some…

  • What being a nanny has taught me about the power of vulnerability

    Earlier this week, the 11-month-old I nanny somehow cut her thumb badly. I have no idea what caused it and therefore was pretty shocked when I picked her up and found her hand covered in blood. Of course I immediately assumed she needed stitches and was preparing to head to the emergency room while calling…

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

    Happy Monday! I hope the time change didn’t throw you off too much (why can’t we just pick one time and stick to it?), although I’m not complaining that the days are now an hour longer! This weekend my family and I went to Atlanta to visit some relatives who live in the area. I…

  • 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: Being steadfast & other things to be excited about this week.

    Another weekend come and gone! Friday evening my sister came into town for the weekend, we had a nice time exploring Fort Moultrie with a couple of her friends Saturday morning. I love doing the touristy things when people come to visit! We also went to one of my favorite restaurants here in Mount Pleasant,…
