Psalm 46:10
Psalm 46:10 “Be still, and know that I am God.” Sometimes, as much as you might see something approaching, it’s hard to accept that it’s actually happening when it finally arrives. Life is busy, things are happening and time moves fast. Truly absorbing a situation requires being still long enough to piece together the reason...
Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas (Card)
This holiday season has been nothing short of a sprint. Is it just me or has it really flown by? Now, here we are mere days before Christmas with our last-minute family Christmas card (hopefully) arriving in mail boxes of family and friends. We almost didn’t do a card this year, but after deciding one...
Emery Style: DIY Célfie Tee
You may have seen the often-sold-out CÉLFIE tee by Sincerely Jules on bloggers here, here, here, here and even a celebrity or two. A play on the Céline logo, it’s become a cult-favorite this year and certainly fitting as the Oxford Dictionary named “selfie” its word of the year. I did a quick DIY project...

Naked 3 Palette Giveaway
We’re giving away a ridiculously fabulous and amazing eyeshadow set over at 30A Street Style. As a devoted Naked 2 palette user, I can tell you that this one is positively perfection and (I think) even better than the first two. I’m a sucker for rose gold these days and these shades are rosy neutrals...
Emery Style: Sparkly Leggings and a Cozy Scarf
This little girl was not too happy to wake up to cold weather this morning. I asked if she wanted to wear a scarf to school and she said, “Yes! I almost forgot I need my animal too,” grabbing a pink hippo. Oh, how I love her!
Chocolate Caramel Crack – It’s That Time Again!
While I’m sure this would be delicious any time of year, I try to keep this strictly in the holiday season. My husband practically inhales a plateful and I can’t help but grab a piece every time I pass by a stack. It’s because of our lack of self-control around this delicious stuff that it...
Win a Naked 3 Palette from 30A Street Style
We’re giving away one of the lovely items featured in our holiday gift guide: this fabulous Naked 3 eyeshadow palette by Urban Decay! The original Naked palette and the Naked 2 palette gained instant cult status among beauty enthusiasts and this just-released version is sure to do the same. While the first two shadow collections...
Santa Strikes Out – Again
Poor baby. Mom and I took Emery to visit Santa and after picking out her own outfit, the promise of seeing Santa’s helpers up close and personal and much coaxing once it was actually her turn, we officially struck out. I think this year’s visit was even worse than last year’s with the same stream...
Monday Motivation
I’m getting started this morning with my new favorite drink. It’s my own mocha concoction made of one Donut Shoppe coffee plus one Hot Chocolate from my Keurig. Try it! It’s delicious. Here are a few links to get your week started the right way: Simplifying for 2014 Part 1 and Part 2 via Emily Ley...

Emery is rocking the boyfriend jeans look today. Also known as “need-to-do-laundry-so-let’s-wear-jeans-you-haven’t-grown-into-yet” look. What do you think?
Emery Style: December Ruffles and Boots
Heading home this weekend, Emery and I stopped along the way for popcorn, icees and the obligatory shopping trip. We’re off to the mountains in Tennessee next week for a trip with Hunter’s family so I was hoping to grab a few warm and cozy steals at Tar-jay and TJ Maxx. (Side note: Did you...
A Southern Thanksgiving
I have to give full credit to my mom and aunts for putting together the coolest Thanksgiving we’ve had to date. We had all the usual turkey day ingredients including turkey (of course!), catching up with out-of-town family, homemade casseroles and pies galore plus an extra special setting this year. Instead of cramming the group...
