I’ve tried to get better about willing to spend money on things that I want to do. In 2017, that meant going on some solo dates to concerts. There have been a few coming across my calendar this year. Unfortunately, I seem to have conflicts for a few of them. Regardless, it should be documented […]

Just a Peek: Engelheim Vineyards
My family loves to go up to Ellijay when it’s a beautiful weekend. There are cute little shops to visit, plenty of orchards, and, of course, wineries. There are wineries in abundance, but I’ve only ever been to one (and for a very good reason): Engelheim. I’m not sure why my parents stopped by the […]

Well, it’s that time of year again. It’s Valentine’s Day. If you’re like me, you don’t have a (human) valentine. Let me tell you something: It’s okay! Valentine’s Day has been over-capitalized. Yes, this blog post will probably sound like the rant of a bitter single girl, but it really isn’t. Even when I was […]
Catholic Woman’s Guide to Faith at Home
I’ve shared a bit before that I’m Catholic, born and raised. My saint at confirmation was St. Therese of Lisieux. Now, since I came to Athens for college, I’ve missed out a bit on the church scene. It’s important to me to be able to have access to my faith from “afar”. Over the years, […]
Forever Thankful
Happy Thanksgiving! Today is a day where people remember to be thankful…but shouldn’t we be thankful every day? We can get so caught up in the mundane or the displeasing that we forget to take a moment and be thankful. I read something the other day that really spoke to me. Let’s say you have […]
