"Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear— Let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God’s sight is very precious" - 1 Peter 3:4

We are so used to seeing ourselves in a mirror. By looking in a mirror we can see if our hair looks messy or if our make up looks just right. We have learned to trust what the mirror tells us. We are so used to...

Scripture: “Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.” -1 Peter 4:8

Reflection: When Jesus gave His life for us, He demonstrated the greatest act of love this world has ever known. If we are truly going to be followers of Him, He only asks one thing of us...And that is to love. Why would love be so important that it is the greatest and one new commandment that He gave us to live by? Because our love for each other is a testimony of Him, for God is love.

My husband and I wasted no time at all to decorate for Christmas. I love the feeling of Christmas, and had so much fun decorating our new home for the holidays!

The first week of December, my sister Sarah, hosted a "My Favorite Things" party for a group of ladies. It was such a blast! We had a mix of our favorite foods, favorite desserts (trifle bar of course), and favorite snacks. Sarah did such a beautiful job decorating her house! Here's how to play the game: All the girls brought three...

Despite all circumstances however...Yes, ALL circumstances, do you know that you can have true peace and joy?

When it comes to sweeteners, I personally like to use baking stevia and stevia packets. However, all of these recipes call for a sweetener that measures like sugar, which includes any sweetener that can be measured the same as sugar, or you could use sugar if you prefer.

If you prefer to use stevia or another sweetener, you will have to alter the amount based on the conversion table below, or according to your desired taste. This can take some experimenting, but once you get a feel for baking...

Halloween can be down right SCARY when it comes to all of the sugary treats and candy flying around! However, this doesn't have to be an excuse to ditch your healthy lifestyle all together. Here are some tips to staying healthy this halloween!

1. Don't be Fooled: Just because a label says 'fun size' on it, doesn't mean that it comes with a miniature amount of calories and sugar! For example, just one 'fun size' Butterfingers bar has 100 calories and 10 grams of sugar! Almost all of the most...

I am so thankful and blessed to share this post with you guys today! After four years of marriage, my husband and I finally can say we have a place called 'our home'! I say this with such thankfulness because my husband and I truly did pray and save for our home, waiting on the right timing that God had for us, and boy was it worth the wait! :)

It took one year to build this home, and the best part is, I am across the street from my sister, (and only 20 minutes from my other sister and...
