thirty days of thankfulness: 11/30/13
and here we are at the final day of november, and day thirty of my thirty days of thankfulness. while the thanksgiving season has technically now come and gone, the being-grateful-for-God's-blessings certainly doesn't go away with the leftover turkey and gravy. i plan on popping in throughout the rest of this year and well into ...
thirty days of thankfulness: 11/29/13
i'm a big fan of the whole "treat yo self" mentality. because sometimes we all could use a little pampering, right? and one of the easiest and relatively cost-effective ways i like to treat myself is by getting a pedicure. aside from the fact that my piggies leave primed and painted, pedicures also ensure that ...
blog crush friday: stephanie sterjovski
have you ever found yourself down a blog rabbit hole? you go to one site and click on the tab of blogs they follow and so you click on one of the links and that takes you to a new page and then you repeat the same thing on this blog and suddenly you arrive ...
thirty days of thankfulness: 11/28/13 & happy thanksgiving
so today is thanksgiving. but you already know that given your position on the couch in your comfiest sweats as you flip between the macy's thanksgiving day parade and football. i think i may have mentioned this a time or twelve but of all of the holidays we celebrate throughout the year (yes, even my birthday, which ...

thirty days of thankfulness: 11/26/13
finding a home church is kind of like trying on shoes. sometimes you have to test out a few different styles before you find one that fits just right. at least that has certainly been the case with me. ironically enough the very first one i remember attending regularly is now the same one i ...
i like it, i love it, i want some more of it (part 2)
so after my last post on this topic caught some of your attention (looking at you, R), i figured i'd check back in and report on a few more things that i've recently bought/tried that i'm slightly obsessed with these days -you know, in case you were looking to could drain your bank account (and ...
thirty days of thankfulness: 11/25/13
studies have shown that music increases productivity in the workplace. and as one who employs spotify's playlists to increase task completion at the office, i couldn't agree more. at first blush, you might not think one republic's "counting stars" could motivate you to complete the excel worksheet you're working on, but you'd be surprised by the power of ryan ...
