*The following is the story of how I signed with an agent and ultimately landed a book deal. It is the full story with all 5,678 details 😉 When I was 7 and 10 and 15 and even 20 my friends would be playing outside in the dirt, or going to the movies or going […]

Ok, we’ve met before. My hydrating Paleo smoothie. Which you all have commented and said is the best tasting paleo smoothie you’ve tried. You all sure know how to make a girl smile! It is one of the most pinned recipes on my site with 25,000 pins and counting. It has been called the paleo […]

Jeremy always said he married the right woman for the military. Which you would find funny if you were there, on that strained night when I locked myself in my closet so my roommate could not hear. I picked up the phone and cried and told my boyfriend that I can’t get past one thing, […]

If you’re reading this then you know I made it across the country 🙂 In February Beau and I started our trek from South Carolina to get to our new home – Los Angeles. Living out of a suitcase for nearly 2+ months has been fun and exhausting and adventurous and a beautiful reminder of how little […]

We made it. We came out the other side of the holidays. Maybe some of us came refreshed. Others rugged and worn. A few just plain cold (yup! yup!). But here we are. Hi 2016! Comfort is always the name of the game after a lapse of time in the kitchen. And these paleo (optional) […]

They never last. They always please. What more do we need? The best part is how simple they are. […]

I’ve been learning to settle into my skin, not locations. To find my home in people, not structures. I keep a bright idea in my pocket, that wherever I am is exactly where God has me and to bloom alive right there. To put all that I am in that moment, in front of that […]

Listen. Take the day off and make this. Sometimes Jeremy and I find ourselves with an overabundance of fruit that is… near death. And I am like, “SAVE ALL THE FRUIT!” The first thought that occurs is a no brainer. Fruit salad. Except my fruit salad might look a little different than the world’s fruit […]

It’s been rainy and cold here in South Carolina and I have basically found myself in need of a snuggie. Mind you my auto-correct turned snuggie into snuggle and I’ll take some of those too 🙂 Also, it is shocking to me that the Air Force did not send Beau home early on any of […]

Fall is officially here. As in last week we celebrated the first week of fall. Also as in, I practically went from sandals and tank tops to scarves and cute coats overnight. I quickly realized the err of my ways when we went to Charleston this past weekend for the Southern Living Taste of Charleston […]
