An Interview with an Intern.

Not just any intern. My intern. THIS intern. Yes. Connor is a girl of grace. Truly. [Duh I made him do that.] As you may know from my social media, Connor has been interning for me this semester. I love having interns- it helps so much to have another human working with me at Downs

What’s Your Mark?

About a year ago, I got a call to be a part of this project called What’s Your Mark?. My friend Jeremy Cowart had been asked by Zondervan to photograph twenty or so people that they decided were making a significant mark on the world, whether big or small. And they were asking me to

Winner of Jenni’s book!

I know, I know. I dropped off the bloggy planet this week. But I am back and I’ve been meaning to tell you that Erica won the free copy of Jenni Catron’s book, Just Lead!. I decided to pick a winner, I would go for a human random number generator by the name of Intern

Capitol City.

My friend Matt asked, on twitter, for his fans to list their favorite song of his. As a singer/songwriter with a deep well of albums, the replies began to fly in. As a fan and a friend, my mind immediately swirled back to a few years ago, when I was deciding about moving to Nashville,

TOP 5 FRIDAY: Easter gifts for teen girls!

Last week, I got to spend the night at my parents’ house on the way to a retreat in Georgia. As I packed my car up and headed out, a wrapped bag awaited me on the table by the front door. My Easter gift. I love that my mom still gets us little treats on

Quarter Life Conference TONIGHT!

So here’s a cool brand new thing. The QuarterLife Conference. It’s the best kind of conference for people in their 20s… because they don’t have to go anywhere or pay anything. IT IS FREE AND IT IS ON THE INTERNET. I know. Impressivo. And it is happening TONIGHT at 8pm EST.  Here’s the deal. All

Jenni Catron is my hero.

I don’t remember exactly when I met Jenni Catron. It’s one of my worst qualities- remembering the first time I met someone. When people start to reminisce about first conversations or first jokes, I’m usually quiet [which is rare] because for some reason, those moments don’t stick in my brain. Trust me, it has gotten

Birchbox update!

I have been meaning to tell y’all how much I am LOVING when my Birchbox arrives each month! I went ahead and photographed February and March together so you could see the goooooooods….. I love that they arrive with little descriptor notes included because, well, y’all know me well enough to know that sister here

The Final Rose. Some final thoughts.

For starters, if you have NOT seen the finale, step away from the blog. I’m going to spill all the beans from last night. First of all, Women Tell All from last week. Tierra. She is just a pile of crazy. And if you think she is really engaged to a human, you are a

Dairy free. And I don’t miss it.

Seriously. If you’ll recall, about a month ago I decided to quit dairy, at my doctor’s recommendation, to help try to deal with some of the symptoms of PCOS. Here’s the start of that conversation. So here we are one month later-ish, actually more like five weeks but who is counting, and my life is
