When Life is Hard

Not every season of life can be spring. If you're struggling like I have lately, I hope this quotation encourages you. If you follow the link, you'll see how I've survived the hardest year of my life.

I’m not a big fan of platitudes. I believe in the power of prayer, and I believe in God’s plan for me, but I don’t need a saccharine platitude when I’m hurting. Don’t tell me life will get better when life is hard now. It’s been a really, really hard year, easily the hardest year… [Read More]

Fast Fashion and the Capsule Wardrobe

If you read a fair amount of lifestyle blogs or fashion blogs, you’ve probably come across the “capsule wardrobe.” While this might feel like a very modern, minimalist response to consumerism and fast fashion, the concept of the capsule wardrobe dates back to the 1970s.

At the airport bookstore, I picked up Gone Girl, basically the only option that appealed to me at all…. [Read More]

Rettew Says I Do!

Bridesmaids with the bride. Fun picture to take for autumn bachelorette weekends!

When Dan and I started discussing marriage, we agreed on all the big things, including the length of our engagement. We both wanted a short engagement. We figured if we were already set on committing our lives together, we didn’t need to have a long, drawn-out period of time between the proposal and our wedding…. [Read More]

Stop Sharing Horrible Dating Advice

There's so much bad dating advice out there, but these tips are some of the WORST I've ever heard! #dating

I’ve received a lot of well-meaning, but extremely misguided relationship advice over the years. At first, I thought it was just me. If you only know me through my blog, then you might not realize that I married my first boyfriend. I was perpetually single until I met him, just a few months after my… [Read More]
