Recently it seems like every week is a tough week and every week is overbooked and leaves me feeling constantly overwhelmed. I like to be busy, but I do not like the feeling of not being able to keep up with my own schedule. This is another post aimed to help you just as...
Hey friends! Last year I posted a bucket list/2017 goals post about halfway through the year, and I loved having the list to keep up with! I’ve been working on building a list of 2018 goals (which stemmed from this post) and wanted to post it now to start crossing things off. 2018 is...

In today's post, I'm showing you how I made these Pinterest-inspired wall prints for less than $5! I'd seen these 'be still and know' prints all over the Internet as cute bedroom decor and when I redid my room, I knew these would be the perfect addition!...
We all want to be successful in the new year. The new year brings new goals, fresh starts, and for students, a new semester. As a second-year college student (who will graduate in 2018, crazy!!) I’ve learned a thing or two about being a successful student. In today’s post, I’m sharing 8 of my...
Who is God calling you to be? I’m going to honest, friend (from now through the very end of this post, so sit tight and get ready to get real), for the last six months or so, I had no idea. I didn't really know how to trust God and His call for me....
