As I embark on what is to be the 26th year of my life, I sit back and realize just how much my life has changed during these last 365 days… so many ups and downs and personal setbacks and triumphs, but I know God has a way of explaining those never-ending questions I ask […]

Tomorrow is the BIG DAY!! We’re leaving on a jet plane (and yes I am singing this song as I write this!) to NEW YORK CITY AKA THE BIG APPLE!! Could I be more excited?? Absolutely not… I’ve been counting down the days until I was able to return to my favorite city and I […]

Back to my promise from last week about posting some of my favorite quotes each week — so glad I didn’t forget with all the madness that is consuming my week in preparations for New York City this weekend with my J. My topic for this post is easy: happiness. I think people tend to […]

This is the beginning of what happens to be my favorite month of the year: why you ask?? Not only do we get to celebrate Independence Day, but it’s followed by my BIRTHDAY!! Some people I know don’t necessarily like to celebrate their special day each year as they get older, but not me — […]

As I mentioned in a previous post, my friend Cami inspired me to keep a journal with all my favorite quotes about 3 years ago… since then, everytime I find quotes/sayings/lyrics I enjoy or speak to me, I write them down–sometimes to email to friends and family just to let them know I’m thinking about […]

Yesterday was a sad day in the entertainment world as we lost one of the greatest icons the world has ever known… I know most people have very strong opinions about the personal life of Michael Jackson, but you have to admit, he not only shaped the world of POP music, but of all genres […]

Yes, it’s true… Restaurant Week is coming to Nashville this summer and the countdown is on!! For those of you bloggers who don’t know what Restaurant week is, it’s a celebration of food in the City and select restaurants throughout Nashville offer discounted 3-course dinners for either $20.09 or $30.09 (depending on the specific locale […]
