I’m a little bit of a blog hound. Here are my fave five: BleuDress: I love reading about Jessica’s adventures as a military wife. I know her IRL* and I love how the both of us actually encourage one another IRL and through social and digital media. Bobbi...
One of the mots horrific things that ever happened to me when I was a child sort of still haunts me to this day. Her name? Faye Hammons. She introduced my parents to one another. Well, she and probably a ton of other people claim to have done that. But she was, um,...
This is my favorite picture of me. Why, you ask? It was Easter morning. My hair practically fixed itself… in a good way. I never feel pretty in selfies, but I did in this case. I also know that I was genuinely happy. Content. Authenticity can be difficult...
