Here are a few of my favorite things–the topics that really make me tick. I love to focus aspects of life that are already good and find ways to make them even better. You’ll find content here that I hope will add value to your everyday. We’ll discuss faith, travel, home, organization, fitness, podcasts, and more topics that will cheer you on to live your best, most abundant life.
Doing something sweet and personalized for my bridesmaids was one of the little things I was really looking forward to when it came to wedding planning! I might not have ever thought about what kind of dress or wedding I wanted, but I DID dream about what little gifts I would get my friends! I think it’s such a fun little personalized touch and way to thank your friends for…
I showed y’all some of my fall decor a couple of weeks ago on Instagram, but between the move and all the things, it’s pretty much as far as I got. Oh! And I did put some pumpkins on my porch :) While I’m not going full out for fall decor, it’s one of my favorite times to decorate and add little pops of Autumn to the house. Since we’re moving right in the middle of the season, I didn’t think it was smart to buy too much, but if I were…here’s what I’d be buying! I do actually have a few of these items that I’ve used year after year and still LOVE!
If you’ve hung around my blog or instagram lately, you know some pretty exciting things have been happening around here! I am ENGAGED and I’m MOVING to Denver! While it has been a whirlwind of excitement, it has also sent me into reflection mode. Maybe you’ve been following me since before I met Duncan and remember that I briefly touched on singleness. When I got engaged, one of you guys…
Hey friends! OK, so I feel like I’ve kinda made it an official thing on Instagram, but not really on the blog. I think I’ve mentioned it a few times in a couple posts, but I wanted to officially put it out there on here too! You might be thinking, Brighton, what the heck are you even talking about?! LOL. My walking challenge!! Let me give you some back story……
Hey y’all! Hope you’ve been enjoying the wedding content so far – I honestly have been DEEP in planning and between that and the move, life feels all kinds of crazy and exciting at the same time. My goal is to bring y’all along for a lot of the planning because it’s just so fun and I know there are a lot of y’all planning weddings right now too, so…
I’m so excited to finally share my experience of finding my wedding dress! It was SUCH a fun process and honestly, it still feels surreal! Obviously, it’s a HUGE moment and one of those things you loosely think about and then when it’s here, you don’t even know where to start! Before beginning my hunt, I asked around and began looking for reviews online – I knew I wanted to…
I’m so excited to finally be sitting down to write this blog post. I mean it when I saw that our most recent trip to Maine over Labor Day weekend was probably one of my top 5 favorite trips I’ve ever taken! I went back and forth on how to structure this blog post, but I think the best way is to summarize everything that we did, covering our favorites…
In case you haven’t seen on Instagram, something pretty major happened in my life recently – I got ENGAGED!! I shared the story and how it all happened in this post (thank y’all SO MUCH for all the love on it btw), so now I want to talk about what comes next! I’m guessing there are a few of you out there who might be in the same boat as…
It has been a minute since I’ve written a personal post just talking about life, but I’m super excited to be here today talking about my engagement! AHHHH, I still can’t believe I’m engaged! I keep catching my ring out of the corner of my eye and getting all giddy inside – the newness of all of it definitely hasn’t worn off! I’m want to relish every second of it.…
I know I sound like a broken record but how the heck is it Labor Day?! LIKE WHAT? Between my trip to Portugal, some wedding weekends, getting engaged (still on a high from that omg), and just life, summer is flying by and I honestly can’t believe we’re already onto Labor Day. While Labor Day technically means the end of the season, it still feels like summer in Dallas until…
Since college, I’ve had an ‘all or nothing’ relationship with working out. Growing up I was super active (like most of us are) and I even cheered throughout college so movement was easy – something I just did. But as an adult, I feel like there’s this huge lack of motivation that comes with working out. And maybe it’s because of the pressure we start putting on it. It becomes…
If you’ve been following along for a while, you probably know this about me: I’m a lazy driven person. I don’t even know if LAZY is the right word – it’s probably not – but I like life to feel EASY. And I’m not someone who enjoys being on the go 24/7. Does that make sense? Like I will kill myself to make a project perfect, but I also know…
I hope y’all are loving my new mini-series “How to Detox Your Life”! In the first post, I covered everything self-care and called out all the skincare products I’m loving right now. But for today, we’re switching gears and I’m diving into detoxing your home! When I came home from Portugal (I know I keep mentioning that in these posts, but it’s when I realized I needed to detox my…
If I had to choose a season where I most like my morning routine, it’s probably summer (though a cozy Fall morning is awesome too!). But there’s something about the warmer, lighter summer mornings that make getting up early easier and all around more enjoyable. I think my early morning Pilates routine has also just instilled waking up earlier and being active in the mornings which has truly been a…
Welcome to WEEK 8 of our Attributes of God study! If you are just tuning in, we are studying the attributes of God using Jen Wilkin’s book “None Like Him” to navigate some of God’s incommunicable attributes, which basically means attributes that are unique to God alone. If you missed the series introduction post, I announced the Attributes of God series there and explained a little bit about WHY we should…
I’ve done a good deal of traveling in the last five years and have written a lot about it, but somehow I’ve never talked about how to make an abroad flight more enjoyable. Because let’s be honest, most long international flights are kinda the worst – don’t you think?! Believe it or not, there are some things you can do to make your flight more comfortable and even make the…
Welcome back to the Attributes RECAP! We have been making our way through Jen Wilkin’s book “None Like Him” and diving in week by week to the some of the main (incommunicable) attributes of God. If you missed the series introduction post, I announced the Attributes of God series there and explained a little bit about WHY we should care to know more about God and his nature. So far we’ve covered the…
