Join me in Taylor, Mississippi, just outside of Ox Join me in Taylor, Mississippi, just outside of Oxford, for a trip to @theviviennestudio! My sweet friend Meagan recently opened this skin studio and I cannot say enough about how awesome it is! Every detail was so Meagan and so perfect! So what makes The Vivienne special is Meagan’s modern, holistic approach to skin health. She blessed me with a custom vivienne facial, which was so refreshing! Then she recommended three products from her incredible collection of clean skin care lines, which I have used every day since and LOVE. She knew just what my skin needed after assessing it during my facial! If you’re in the Oxford area, and looking to love on your skin a little bit, please go see Meagan!

HAPPENING NOW through Sunday at the Trade Mart in HAPPENING NOW through Sunday at the Trade Mart in Jackson: Spring Market! I went this morning and found sooooo much cool stuff. From clothes to kid things to chic laundry detergent to handmade chocolates… it was well worth the time! 🥳 I’m so excited about so many of the little brands I was introduced to today. I know you’ll discover some small business goodness, too! I hope you can make it out! Have so much fun! Happy shopping! 🤩 #ad
It’s time for me to lighten up! 💛✨ I went It’s time for me to lighten up! 💛✨ I went in for my annual blonding balayage at the prettiest new salon in Ridgeland: @salonsaintellis! This salon is an @artsytracy vision, so as you can see, it’s absolutely fabulous and SO well detailed! But we would expect nothing less! 🤩 I looooved my time in this gorgeous space! As you can also hopefully see, I’m loving my lighter hair! ☀️🫶 I love a balayage because it grows out so well, leaving it to where I only get color once per year. I enjoy being darker haired in the colder months, then back to blonde for the warm ones! 😆 If you’re looking for a cool new salon… @salonsaintellis is it!
✨ THE WONDER YEARS ✨ I LOVE the @axisconversa ✨ THE WONDER YEARS ✨ I LOVE the @axisconversations email newsletter and podcast. I try to take time to dive into them weekly, because they’re always so good! This week’s about WONDER really stood out to me. Wonder and miracles are ALL AROUND. On our good days and on our bad days. God is present in them. But how numb to wonder have we become? How many miracles right in front of our faces go unnoticed? My challenge to myself (and to you) is to make it a point to notice and verbally out loud thank God for the moments of wonder that give me pause. I pray I’m unhurried enough to notice all the little pieces of joy all around us. I feel like springtime is particularly wonder-filled! What little pieces of your day are the most wonderful? The most miraculous? Are you good at catching the little moments? I want to get better at it 🥰 Join me??
I ran across an old blog post from five years ago I ran across an old blog post from five years ago about these little Easter story printables that we still use every Easter with our kids! Comment EASTER and I’ll send you the old post where you can get to the free printables! They are an easy way to weave the Easter story into the Easter basket fun on the morning of. These printables (there are two color themes but otherwise they’re the same) are easy to use: print one out (it fits on a regular sheet of paper), cut it into the 12 parts, then put one part in each of twelve Easter eggs (maybe along with candy or something!) We do four story eggs per each of our three kids, then they work together to put them in order according to scripture. They just might have to get their bibles out to double check themselves! 🤩 It’s great because it gets them talking about the Easter story and how meaningful that day is!! ☀️ So if you comment EASTER I’ll send you the link to the post where you can get the printables! Just scroll past my Easter basket stuffers that are basically all out of stock now since I did that post five years ago 🤪 until you get to the paragraph with the links to the print pages 🤩 I hope these are helpful in keeping the Easter story the main thing for you and yours this year! 🥰 Thank you, Jesus, for ALL YOU HAVE DONE! Happy Easter season, friends! ✝️
