I want my daughter to grow up in a household that is filled with gratitude but also called to give back (don’t we all?). I want to teach her to value experiences over things and quality time over quantity of…
The holiday season has arrived, and there is nothing I love more than curling up under a blanket with a steaming cup of coffee and a few good books to read. And whether you’re looking for a traditional holiday romance, a…

Normally, the first time I hear a Christmas song every year is always the same: I’m usually sitting in a Starbucks or walking in a Target, about a week after Halloween, minding my own business and not thinking about the…

Hi Y'all! I’m Jaime, a proud working mama, author, girl boss and wifey to an ultra-adorable husband. I am a huge book nerd, I drink coffee like my life depends on it, and run on dry shampoo and Amazon Prime. Leopard print is my favorite color. I am a story teller at heart and this blog is a virtual scrapbook of our crazy beautiful life. I'm a Type One Diabetic and our little warrior princess Callie is a lower limb amputee. By sharing how we’ve chosen to flourish in the garden we’ve been planted in, we hope you can take some small nuggets of hope, inspiration, and laughter. We are so grateful that you’ve found us—welcome to the fam. We embrace our perfectly imperfect lives and don’t let the doctor’s appointments, spreadsheets, speaking engagements, 10th birthday parties to plan, housework or date nights overwhelm us. Those things are just the beautiful reminders of all the blessings in our lives. Read More
