2019
Wow, life’s been crazy since the last time I wrote here (over two months ago!) And there’s lots of changes happening in my life, too. Changes to this online space You’ve probably already noticed the major change in this online space, it looks way different than it did a couple of weeks ago! That’s because […]

Easiest Cherry Apple Pie Recipe (Chapel Pie?)
During this holiday season, I got really into baking. I spent hours in the kitchen learning new recipes, trying to master techniques and appreciating the art-form that IS a perfect pie crust. One of my most favorite pies I made was a makeshift cherry apple pie (with a homemade crust!) This was my favorite pie […]

2018
It’s here. A brand new year. A fresh page. Clean sheets. New eyes. Open book. Empty road. Endless possibilities. 2017… Never before have I been so moved by a year. There was good, bad, blessings and a whole lot of questioning, “Am I doing the right thing?” It was love and loss all wrapped […]

Blue Christmas
This year’s Christmas was full of love and I was so lucky to be surrounded by family and people who love me. However, that doesn’t mean the holidays weren’t hard on me, because they were. I think it’s tough on anyone who just got out of a relationship to celebrate the holidays because of all […]

Trusting His Timing When You’re Impatient
I’m impatient. I’m the type of person who wants results, wants to get things done, and I don’t like wasting time or waiting around for things to happen. And I certainly don’t like waiting on other people to do something for me. The kicker? Christianity tells us to trust in God’s timing. So, this led […]

So I figured, what better way to brighten someone’s Monday than with these shots? If you’re dreading going into work today, just remember that we live on a planet full […]

My Faith Journey
I’ve been wanting to somehow incorporate my faith into this blog for a long time now. I touch on it here and there and I occasionally throw a few verses on Twitter now and again, but I want to go more in depth. So I thought: Why not add a section to my blog dedicated […]

Pecan Pie and Homemade Crust
I love eating pie, but I’ve never baked a pie. Sure, I’ve picked up a frozen pie from the grocery store and heated it up in the oven… but I’ve never actually baked one from scratch. So this Thanksgiving, I wanted to challenge myself. I baked a pie, but not just any pie. I baked […]

Thanksgiving at Home
The last two Thanksgivings have been very different. Last year, I didn’t celebrate Thanksgiving because I was in Canada (so I celebrated Canadian Thanksgiving in October). The year before that, I was living on my own in DC, and I spent Thanksgiving by myself. So this year when I was able to celebrate Thanksgiving at […]

Thankful
I love the holiday season, because it has a special way of reminding us to show gratitude and make family time a priority. So much has happened this year, and I think it would be strange if I wasn’t thankful for it all. It’s been filled to the brim with ups and downs. I’ve been […]
