You don't need me to tell you what hinges on this day in American history, because chances are that you know and have a bent one way or another already. And the last thing most of you probably want is my opinion on the candidates. So, I'm not going to give it. If you're here, I'm going to credit you as a thinking adult with convictions that will sway you one way or another. … [Read more...]
Shalom at the Gates – {Allume Devotional 11/05/12}
I just have to share a really phenomenal thought that I recently heard. It's been rocking my world since I heard it...in a super-awesome-holy-spirit-infused sort of way. I'm gonna make it short and sweet today, and let the word of God just do it's thing. In ancient cultures, the city gate was the place where pretty much anything of importance happened. Most all cities had a … [Read more...]
Jehovah Sneaky and The Element
You know what, we should really just call a spade a spade around here and say that when my life gets crazy, my blog gets quiet. I'm a writer (wow...feels weird to say that) but before that I'm a liver (and not the kind in your abdomen.) I want to LIVE and hopefully lately, I'll get around to writing about all that life happening around me. So....alot of life has been … [Read more...]
Calm the Raging Seas….
I'm back from PA with loads of greatness to share about the weekend at Allume, but I just can't go into all of that greatness without first sharing what woke me up in the middle of the night. In fact...I'm going to pay the respects that are properly due and not even share it all in the same post. At 3:30 am, I jolted awake in a panic. My heart was pounding and I had to flip … [Read more...]
I’m Alive…I Promise! {And a Printable Recipe!}
Friends, Just so you know, I'm still here. I just thought I'd let you know. I've been working my fingers to the bone to get everything ready for the Allume Conference this coming weekend that I'm a part of putting on. I'm in charge of all the decorations, food, some gift baskets, a man room, and a few other things. In addition, on Saturday I'll be speaking on "Using Your … [Read more...]
Slow Roasted Pork Recipe – 1 Roast, 3 ways
This post will be painfully without pictures since I already made this recipe earlier this week (and am now using up the rest for a different dinner tonight). SO Sorry for that! Just trust me that these slow-roasted pork tacos are the bomb! After we lost Fisher in March, my friend Laura brought us these tacos for dinner one night. They were so delicious and fresh tasting … [Read more...]
Timeless {Allume Devotional}
I just spent an entire week in Colorado for some counseling. After a few hard losses, my husband and I realized that it could only do us good to spend some time and money investing more deeply into ourselves and our relationship. It was phenomenal. And that word, I'll tell you, is an understatement. While we were there, we were reacquainted with a concept that I've understood … [Read more...]
Super Pretty Pennant Banners!
I've been quiet around here lately. No really deep reason, just that I wanted to live without putting pressure on myself to write about it all the time too. In the past week or so, I've spent some good time at home and loved playing water guns with my kids (among other games), refinishing a gorgeous depression era buffet and 2 twin beds, and working on 3 different decorating … [Read more...]
Go Climb a Mountain {Allume Devotional}
“Only if you have been in the deepest valley, can you ever know how magnificent it is to be on the highest mountain.” — Richard M. Nixon As I went down in the river to pray Studying about that good ol' way And who shall wear the robe and crown? Good Lord show me the way O sisters, let's go down Let's go down, come on down O sisters, let's go down Down in the river to pray I … [Read more...]
Bird’s Eye View {Allume Devotional}
I have heard this verse a million times. "Walk by faith and not by sight." (2 Cor 5:7) But I can honestly tell you that until recently, I don't know that I've grabbed onto it very fully. I guess maybe I always think about life like a hike...that we trust where we're walking without always having to know what lies around each bend. Oddly enough, I'm sort of ok with that. … [Read more...]

Red Letter Words {Birthday Week Giveaway}
I first shared with you guys about Red Letter Words over a year ago when I first discovered Dee and her incredible gift for making words into art. Since that time I've collaborated with her for my decorating projects, and her work has played an integral part in most specifically an Opthamology office that I decorated here in Greenville. We had the best time coming up with … [Read more...]
Rustic Elegance {Birthday Week Giveaway}
Ya'll, I am so excited about today's present for you guys! So, Tonia and I met about a year an a half ago when she started dating one of our dearest friends. I knew I liked her immediately when she accidentally spilt an entire cup of water all over me and burst out laughing the very first time we met! I LOVED that she laughed! Like in those moments where someone awkwardly … [Read more...]
Bogle Photography Fine Art Photos {Birthday Week Giveaway!}
I kicked off the week with a little present o' fun from me to celebrate my life and birth, but now on the date of my actual birth, August the 28th, I'm gonna throw back to my childhood for some gifting greatness. I met Jeff Bogle at some point between 1st and 3rd grade at Oakwood Elementary school in Hickory, NC. By 3rd grade, I somehow managed to wrangle him into becoming my … [Read more...]
Custom Room Design and Vision Board {Birthday Week Giveaway}
Tuesday of this week is my birthday! Whoop whoop! I LOVE birthdays! Love having them, love creating parties for them, love giving presents, and admittedly, I like receiving presents too. I'm a gifter. As in, it's one of my love languages. Even when I get an invitation to something that says "no gifts please," I totally disobey. I think about the person and the kinds of … [Read more...]
