Pinned it. Tried it. Love it.



Jewelry Swap

I participated in a jewelry swap hosted by Melissa over at The Life of a Not So Ordinary Wife.
I love jewelry and have so much of it (105 necklaces to be exact)
 that I don't always get the opportunity to wear a lot of it.

So instead of buying more jewelry,
why not gift it to somone else who might get some more wear out of it?! 

I was paired up with Sabrina Alley from bybreenah.blogspot.com
She sent me this great necklace.....I have already worn it a few times. Thanks so much Sabrina!

Friday's Letters


Dear Friday
I thought you'd never get here. It's been one really long, sleep deprived week and I'm fairly certain you should have arrived like...5 days ago. Is there a way to make every day a Friday?


Dear Self
 You need to give yourself more credit. Stop being so hard on yourself.


I wanted to thank you for designing my new blog header. Coming soon....
 You are truly amazing and talented.


 Dear Josh
 I truly love you so very much. I thank Heavenly Father for you each day.
I will miss dearly next week while I am visiting my family in Oregon.


Dear Back...
You hurt. A lot. If you want to stop aching like you're 90 years old.
I'd totally be okay with that.


Dear Bloggers
I am a firm believer in Jesus Christ.
 I am so grateful that there are SOOO many
of you believers out there in the blogging world.
You ladies never seem to amaze me. Seriously.
Keep on enduring and believing!

Infinite Love.


God loves us because He is filled with an infinite measure of holy, pure, and indescribable love. We are important to God not because of our résumé but because we are His children. He loves every one of us, even those who are flawed, rejected, awkward, sorrowful, or broken. God's love is so great that He loves even the proud, the selfish, the arrogant, and the wicked.

"What this means is that, regardless of our current state, there is hope for us. No matter our distress, no matter our sorrow, no matter our mistakes, our infinitely compassionate Heavenly Father desires that we draw near to Him so that He can draw near to us."
-Dieter F. Uchtdorf




I have seen God's love in my life everyday and all the many blessings that he bestows down on me.  I am grateful for his infinite love, His tender mercies, and second chances.


 God’s love for me is the foundation of my life and He gives me the ability to step out into this challenging world without any fear but trust in Him.

What I'm Lovin' Right Now-White Pants

A beautiful pair of crisp white pants is the perfect pairing on bottom for this summer's bright colors and great patterns.

  White pants look clean, smart and classy.

5 things to remember when buying a pair of white pants:

1. Don’t spend a lot of money on white pants unless you plan to wear them a lot this summer.
White pants do yellow and so one or two seasons and you’ll want to replace them.

2. Be careful what you wear underneath your white pants. Nude colored panties are better than white or dark panties because they will not show.

4. Be sure your pocket lining doesn't through your pants.

5. White or nude sandals will help elongate your white pant line and make you look taller and slimmer.
