Thanksgiving is a beautiful time of year, when we gather with family and close friends, break bread together, and express our gratitude for the blessings in our lives. It’s one of my favorite holidays because it’s focused entirely on gratitude. Thanksgiving has always been a reminder to pause and reflect, and families often participate in traditions where they go around the table and each person shares something they’re thankful for. I absolutely love traditions like this and think ..read more

This topic is a bit of a departure from our typical blog content, but it’s something that’s very close to my heart. My husband and I have been married for ten years, and I’m still learning every day! After spending time at a conference last month, I feel compelled to share with you some of the things I’ve learned and am continuing to learn. Marriage is a covenant relationship, not a contractual relationship.  If you’ve ever wondered wh ..read more

  Date 10.26.23 time 10:00 AM Place A friend’s home office REDEMPTION. Hi gals, Candace here. This week, I wanted to share with you a piece written by a friend of mine. She’s shared her story with me over the years, and I love the way God has shown up for her. I do want to mention that this post contains sensitive subject matter, so be gentle with yourself as you choose whether or not you want to read. Life often takes us on unexpected journeys, through highs and lows, joy and sorrow. Sometimes, our paths lead us to places we never thought we'd go, experiencing traumas we could nev ..read more

If you’ve been following along for a while, you know that I’ve been experiencing a shift when it comes to the presence I want to have online. I’ve shared about wanting to build in time for rest, focus on the little moments, and show up in an authentic way for my family, my friends, and my online community. The way that I show up authentically here is by sharing what’s inspiring me in a creative way.  Since I’ve been sharing on the Internet, I've learned t ..read more

In the ever-evolving world of fashion, trends are a fascinating phenomena that dictate our choices, captivate our senses, and often shape the way we present ourselves to the world. They emerge in a way that seems entirely organic and rapidly gain steam, especially with the help of social media and the virality of the Internet! Sometimes, trends fade away just as quickly as they appeared. Almost always, trends cycle back around in one way or another. From the macro perspective of global fashion to the ..read more

Photography by Lindzy Nava   Date 8.3.23 time 10:00 AM Place Home The seasonal shift is here. Listen, I adore summer. It’s the season of relaxation, sunshine, and joyous family moments. I’ve had an amazing summer so far! I know that it’s only the beginning of August, but the reality is that fall is right around the corner. Before we know it, these long warm days will give way to falling leaves and crisp autumn air. Saying goodbye to summer can be tinged with a sense of nostalgia. Something that’s been really important to me this summer is planning intentional ways to carry the prec ..read more

Photography by Theory Image   Date 07.26.23 time 09:00 am Place Dining Room A Love Letter… Knowing when to move on from something and being willing to evolve is a skill that often goes unpracticed in the online space. We’re taught, through things like algorithms and formulas, to stick with what is working. But, despite my presence in this online community, I’ve always been proud of the way I am willing to pivot and shift during various seasons of life. During this next season, I’m saying au revoir to a series that has been so good to me: Mocktail Monday. Mocktail Monday was a serie ..read more

  Date 6.7.23 time 8:00 AM Place At my hotel in Soho A summer pause. Hello, my sweet readers! A quick life update if you will for you gals. After a lot of contemplation and reflection, I’ve decided to take a break from sharing content here on the blog and over on Instagram for the month of June. This time away will allow me to fully immerse myself in the beautiful moments life has to offer, and reconnect with the joys that often go unnoticed in the fast-paced world of social media. The last 6 months, I have been busy, busy, busy. A good busy for sure. But. a few weeks back, I found ..read more

Photography by Roosevelt Group   Date 05.24.23 time 9:00 AM Place Kitchen Table The Best Time of Year… Summer is upon us, which means it’s officially time to dine al fresco! Personally, I’ve always had a deep appreciation for eating outdoors. There’s just something so quintessentially summer about relishing a delicious meal on a cozy patio - it just feels right! This summer marks seven whole years since I’ve lived in Columbus! But even before I called this place home, I spent a significant amount of time here. We used to commute from Parkersburg, West Virginia to soak up the vibran ..read more

Photography by Theory Image   Date 5.10.23 time 9:00 PM Place The Living Room I never would have guessed… That this would be a part of my story. Infertility that is. I always imagined that motherhood would be something that happened when I wanted it to. I always thought it would be in my 30s after finding love and settling into the life that I fantasized about as a young girl growing up in South Georgia. Perhaps I would still be living in New York and raising my children there. I’d likely be married to a banker who wore a trim suit as I continued pursuing my dream to be an executiv ..read more
