If I had a dollar for every time someone suggested that maybe I was being too picky, I could have built my own million dollar husband. But as picky as I seemed to be, there was still that unforgettable time where I found myself at a lunch/intervention with my besties asking me what in the world happened…
Although bucket lists have been popular for a long time, I only got on board a few years ago! As a single woman, I was growing more and more appreciative of the single season and recognizing the opportunities it could bring. But along with that appreciation, came a sense of urgency to make the most of…
This post is for all my book readers out there! (There seems to be a lot of us 🤓) If you are a wife and haven’t read any books on marriage, I want to encourage you to invest in your marriage by reading up on the topic! I cannot tell you how much I have learned and grown…
