From Ollie’s to Genesis: How I Finally Started Reading the Bible (My Way)
Alright y’all… confession time. And honestly? I probably should’ve done this a long time ago. So the other day we were wandering through Ollie’s (you know… that magical discount wonderland where you go in for one thing and leave with seventeen 😅). We ended up in the book section, just casually browsing, when I spotted a Bible. […]
Spirit of the Fair: Big News, Big Feelings, Big Dreams
OH. MY. WORD. 🤯🎡📸 Guess what?!?! I got that email today—the one I’ve been refreshing my inbox for like a crazy person for the last few weeks. And y’all… I was accepted to photograph the Florida State Fair for the Spirit of the Fair contest! The fair runs February 5th–16th, and here’s how it works: I get one free day of admission to […]
I Miss My Best Friend—And Winter Makes It Harder
Fingers crossed that last night was the very last freeze warning, because y’all… I am OVER my Old Kentucky Hometemperatures sneaking their way into my new Florida life. I did not move south to scrape imaginary frost off my soul. Brrr. And no, I’m not Elsa—the cold has always bothered me. I need my 70–80 degree, sunshine-on-my-face kind of weather back ASAP. What makes it worse? […]
Raising Good Kids in a Very Confused Florida
So Quincy is doing Jump Rope for Heart at school, and let me just say… things are wildly different these days. Back in my day, we actually had to jump rope. Like, with a real rope. Sweaty. Tangled. Occasionally smacked in the shins. Character-building stuff. Now? Nope. Not today, Satan.Everything is done through an app, a website, or even Facebook if you share it there. No […]
I Checked the Stats Twice… and Then Again
I know I already posted once today…but y’all… can we just take a second because WHAT IN THE SWEET TEA JUST HAPPENED?! I had over 1,700 visitors on my site last week.ONE. THOUSAND. SEVEN. HUNDRED. I checked the numbers once.Then I checked again.Then I squinted at the screen like it owed me money. And nope — it […]
Well… I think Mother Nature is drunk. Or high. Or just plain confused.
I made the wondrous move to Florida for a reason, y’all. I hate the cold. I want 80 degrees and sunshine every single day. Flip-flops, iced coffee, and zero thoughts about coats or gloves. That was the deal. But I am starting to think Kentucky’s weather jumped in our trunk and moved down here with us. Now listen—I […]
Wake Up Kentucky
Y’all, wake up, Kentucky, because it looks like you are in for a wild ride this weekend. Winter Storm 2026 is being talked about everywhere, and I keep seeing predictions that some areas could get hit with significant snow. I am not going to lie, my mama heart is not okay right now. When I […]
Day 14: Taking a Little Break (Grief Season & Finding My Way Back)
Welp…day 14 of January, and I’ve officially proven (again) that I am not built for those “post every single day for 365 days” challenges. I missed a few days…okay, several days…BUT LISTEN. I kinda knew that was coming. Life has been life-ing, and your girl is doing her best. I wanted to pop in today […]
January in the Ocean, Kentucky in the Wind
Welp, guys… my weekend was so exciting that I skipped both Saturday and Sunday—ha! It was fun while it lasted. I honestly knew I’d never make it 365 days in a row, but oh well… no regrets here. We had a great weekend. January 10th was spent in the ocean. Yes. The ocean. In January. Can y’all believe that? It […]
Published Is Published (And I’m Not Calm About It)
Got my new prime lens last night—a 50mm—and let me tell you, I’ve been shooting everything in my line of sight for the last 12 hours. If it stood still long enough, it became a photo. I am officially obsessed. I cannot wait to get out this weekend and really put it to work. So here’s the […]
