• To My 17-Year-Old Self, I know just how much you want to make the most of your life and be successful. But I also know that maybe, somewhere deep inside, part of that drive is also a way to make up for everything you believe you aren’t enough of. Pretty enough. Skinny enough. Fun enough.

  • For many people, Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year. On the other hand, it can also be the most stressful time of the year for others. Buying the best, most expensive gifts has become the most important thing about the holiday season. Unfortunately, the majority of the gifts we all receive end

  • Marriage is such a beautiful covenant designed by God, but we as humans tend to mess it up. We like to insert our own selfish desires and tendencies into this significant relationship with our spouse, which in turn, can lead to unhealthy marriages, divorce, infidelity, and even the ‘roommate scenario.’ Personally, none of these outcomes

  • Reading and studying the Bible are significant parts of following Jesus: you can’t follow His commands if you don’t know them. With that said, it’s not always easy to know where to start or where to go next. There are 66 books that make up God’s word in its entirety—that’s a lot to read! If

Most of us want to live our best life and truly enjoy the day-to-day; however, it’s much easier said than done. Responsibilities take up most of your time, building new habits can be a challenge, and you might not know

  • If you know me personally, you already know how much I love to cook. There’s something amazing about being able to provide a home-cooked meal for your family and actually having fun doing so. Many people dread having to cook meals every day, but I enjoy it. The other thing about me and cooking is

  • Everyone has their own opinion when it comes to the best season, but I love fall most of all. The trees change colors and show us just how beautiful it is to let things go. The air is crisp, making it the perfect time to rock sweaters and boots. Let’s be real; there’s nothing better
