I've been keeping journals since I was in the 3rd grade and I'm so glad to share some of my most intimate life moments with you here!  Here, you'll find inspirational and encouraging stories of me and other broken people like me. We are all jars of clay who have been afflicted in every way, but not crushed...struck down by not destroyed.  Here, you do NOT have the right to remain silent, so as you read, grab your favorite snack and drink and leave a comment...share YOUR story. I can't wait to connect with you in this beautiful safe space. 

welcome to my

journal!

BALANCING MARRIAGE + BUSINESS |THE WIVES’ CLUB

Becoming a wife is one of the most joyous experiences I have had. By no means has it been all rainbows and butterflies, but I wouldn’t trade the adventure Ethan and I share for anything! I’ve learned (and re-learned) a lot of lessons over the past year, but one of the biggest ones??? BALANCE. Whether […]
