A few things that are bringing me life right now:

1. These acne pads are seriously incredible. My friend Molly said they helped her so much, and I immediately shouted, “GIVE ME THE LINK!” I’ve been struggling with breakouts for over a year, and these have finally done the trick. Worth every penny.

2. My family and I recently fell hard for the double doozie cookies from City Hall Cheesecake. It’s a local place, so this is bad news for anyone not in north Mississippi, but for anyone local to me, hear a word: GET THEE A DOUBLE DOOZIE COOKIES ASAP. (And get me one while you’re there.) Also, the one pictured is considered a “mini” version. Be blessed.

3. This book is my (very well-read + discerning) mother-in-law’s top book recommendation for prayer (even though as she says, “It’s not really a prayer book!”). I shouldn’t have waited so long to read it! It devoured it in 24 hours. Wow.

4. I’m wearing these $15 Wal-Mart shoes almost constantly. Super cozy + the back part is rose gold! (By the way, this photo is by my friend Morgan Hibbs, a fantastic photographer!)

January 2021

A few things that are bringing me life right now:

1. These cute + free + printable Valentines will help me avoid going inside a store, which is pretty much a forever goal at this point.

2. I think we all understand that the kitchen is not my happy place. We know this, yes? But I seriously love this Change Your Life Chicken recipe from The Lazy Genius.

3. My sister and brother-in-law have a CA-YUTE cabin, and we got to hang out there for a few days! Best thing ever.

4. Can we just take a moment to cheer for the library?! I have always loved ours, and it was shut down for a long time. Now I can reserve things online and pick them up, and I was so excited to get these two titles that have been so enthusiastically recommended by the women in my writing group! I’m halfway through both, and I totally get the hype.

December 2020

A few things that are bringing me life right now:

1. Christmas Crack / Christmas Toffee - I honestly think this is my favorite thing to eat on planet.

2. Ballet Memphis’s The Nutcracker - They filmed a version of their classic production, and it’s lovely + free!

3. These joggers + a matching sweatshirt set that my sister gave me. (She’s the best.) I’m calling it my power suit, and I struggle to wear anything else.

4. Writing about Bible Amos while our Amos naps! Check out Read Kaleidoscope — I’m super excited to write a book for them.

5. Hanging out with these kids! Christmas stuff is so fun with them.

November 2020

A few things that are bringing me life right now:

1. This Christmas album by Caroline Cobb, particularly the song “Comfort, Oh Comfort”

2. This Christmas album by Sovereign Grace Music, particularly the song, “O Come All You Unfaithful” (I can’t with that title!)

3. These press-on nails cost less than 7 bucks, seriously stay on for 2 weeks, and I always get compliments

4. Adelaide went nuts when we read this book together! Such a great series for grades 1-3

October 2020
