    My Life Changing At-Home Workout Routine

    The fact that I’m even writing a post about my at-home workout routine & how it’s affected my life is absolutely laughable. You want to know why? Because back in the day (probably around 6th grade-ish) I was known as “The Girl Who Hated to Sweat”. I’m not kidding. I didn’t like it. Never liked PE class or even recess (you could find me on the swings or chatting with my teacher). My only outdoor activities involved jumping on the trampoline in my backyard. Other than that, I was indoors. I actually vividly remember that day in computer class where I said that when I introduced myself & had to…

  • A Quilt Project From the Heart-the final quilt.

    A Quilt Project From the Heart

    This quilt project has been so long in the making. So, so long but also so, so worth it. Let me tell you the story of how this quilt project came to be… After my grandmother passed, the family needed to clean out her house. It was a massive undertaking that took months & several people to get it fully done. One of the bigger projects at my grandparent’s house was my grandmother’s clothes. She had a TON of clothes. I’m not exaggerating when I say that my grandmother had three—yes, 3—closets worth of clothes. THREE closets FULL of clothes. I can’t even imagine, personally, but Grandma did. My grandpa…

    #tbt Peachtree Road Race

    I can’t believe it’s been 2 years since I ran (well, ran & walked, okay, a lot of walking) the Peachtree Road Race! In honor of that, I thought it would be fun to share a little throwback/recap of that experience. Even though I was not planning on partaking in it this year, I’m bummed that for the first time EVER it won’t actually be happening on the Fourth. It’ll be on Thanksgiving which is so weird to me! Anyway…let’s take a fun walk down memory lane! I’m honestly not sure I’ve ever seen the sunrise. Until today. I was up bright and early before the sun & got to…

    Dogs & My Complete 180.

    In the interest of completely sharing my life, there’s one part that I must share with y’all. Zoe. I might be am biased but she is just the cutest little dog! Until she’s covered in dirt, grass, or otherwise has done something else bad. Then she’s not that cute. haha She’s 5.5 years old. She’s a Yorkie Poodle mix and she completely, totally, 100% controls our life. I’m serious. If we’re going to be gone for more than a few hours a day, we have someone come check on her or stay with her for a little while. We don’t go on vacations unless she can go too. Even when…

  • About Me!

    Hey y’all! Welcome to my blog! I thought I’d start out this blog with an intro about me though I’m sure those of you reading this in real time probably already know who I am (Hey! Thanks for reading!). My cousin suggested I start a blog. She said that I would be great at this & that I should totally start one to keep the family updated on life and just see where it takes me. She also told me that I’m good at keeping things real & I can do the same thing on the Internet to shed some light on the real, non-curated world. So here I am.…
