Jordan is a vibrant, genuine woman who has no problem laying it on the table for you. Continue reading “AGirlRefined” →
Today I’m writing to you about the B-Word.
Budgeting. Yuck.
Budget is a taboo word, you either love it or hate it. For some it can seem big and scary like you are about to have to live on rice and beans and give up Starbucks forever.
Well I am hear to tell you that is NOT the kind of budgeting we practice in our household, however budgeting is as extreme as you want it to be or need it to be depending on why you are budgeting. Here are the most common reasons I find people need to budget: Continue reading “How to start a budget” →
Okay so here is something I get asked a lot, what diet am I on? The sad truth is that most people now a days are on some kind of diet, weight watchers, low fat, atkins, etc. and I suppose we are no different because we eat primarily low carb/lazy keto. I wont claim to be keto because we live an 80/20 life most of the time. If I am craving cake, I dont hunt down crazy ingredients to make a keto cake. I get the real deal, satisfy the craving and move on. Continue reading “Low Carb Staple Groceries, Meal Plans, Budgets.” →
Tonight I was sitting here thinking, as I usually do when I’m supposed to be sleeping. Looking at Pinterest and Instagram on my dear iPhone, my source of entertainment. Trying to be lulled to sleep by the sound of my husbands deep breathing and twitching of his body. (Doesn’t it sound dreamy?)
I got caught up in this image. Of me bringing my phone, that I love so much, to a bike shop, and asking them to address the issues I have with my phone. “Excuse me, Mr. Bicycle Man, my phone is so slow, can you make it faster?”
I’m sure he would laugh. “No, I don’t tix phones, I fix bikes! Bring that to a phone store”
Duh.
If you want a bike fixed. You bring it to a bike man.

If I had a dollar for every time someone used the phrase “burned-out” (or if you’re from the south burnt out) I would be a millionaire. Wanna know why? Because people are willing to go above and beyond when they feel called to a ministry, they feel a burning fire under them to get things done because it’s a passion for them. But- sooner or later, they get overused from a lack of delegation, lack of volunteers, lack of boundaries. Continue reading “Feel the burn, not the burn-out.” →
“Take me back to the day I saw You
Through the eyes of my first child
You let my heart see how much You love me
The Father’s arms will always take me back”
I don’t deserve to be a mom. I don’t deserve to have such a wonderful husband. I don’t deserve to have a job that I am so passionate about. Continue reading “Out of the Dust” →
Have you ever found yourself searching for a tribe that will lift you up in your life and walk with God only to find yourself pouring into friendships that leave you empty?
You know the weirdest part about starting a blog? Not the theme, or the pictures, or the colors. The font. I feel like picking a font is like picking my voice. What would my voice look like? Arial Black? That’s pretty bold. I don’t feel that bold. Comic sans? Nah. Courier New seems a little too journalistic, I don’t have anything that important to say. So this is what I picked. Here is what my voice looks like on paper. Does it look like me?
So what do I have to say? A lot. Continue reading “This is what my voice looks like?” →
