I began this series with a goal in mind: to expose the creativity in people’s lives.  I saw women all around me with such talent and a passion for artistic things…and that inspired me.  I get that.  That’s who I am at my core, and there’s truly something special about finding people who march to the same beat of your drum. The funny thing is, is that for so long... View Article

                                This is Elizabeth.  She is my dear friend, a kindred spirit {to use an Anne Shirley term :)}.  We met through a bible study at church and as soon as I heard her say the word “actress”, I was enthralled.  “I’ve got to meet this girl!”  So we met over coffee.  We got to...

  I’m super excited to have you “meet” my friend, Laura, today!  We met through our church almost 2 years ago and bonded immediately on our first family picnic together last spring after the church service. We swapped our birth stories and discovered my Keller and her Luke were only 5 days apart.  They’ve been nursery buddies ever since! Laura loves the Lord and her family; fixes really good salads;...

Eventually she moved to California, and I to South Carolina.  We grew up and our lives... View Article

Emily and I have known eachother for almost a year.  We met shortly after they moved here from Alabama and instantly connected over our love of the south and its’ heritage.  She is married to Allen and they have three precious boys: John Henry, Marshall, and Graham. That makes 6 kids between the two of us…which means  play dates are a lot of fun and very rambunctious… We sat down... View Article

We’re kindreds, she and I.   I don’t really know how to explain it, but you just are with certain people.  Lauren is married to Blake, pastor of Trinity Presbyterian.  They have 2 beautiful kids, Andrew and Annie, and another sweet baby due in March.  Lauren is vegetarian and passionate about health and nutritional living. And that’s where we joined forces.  She made me a vegetarian lunch one afternoon, we... View Article
