“What a time to be alive!” In a w

“What a time to be alive!”

In a world where everything kinda looks like a dumpster fire, over the weekend I overheard one of my adult sons sincerely declare this to his brothers. He said it with heart. And a giant smile on his face. It wasn’t anything major. He was simply talking about two new albums that were recently released.

It gave me pause. I thought about all of the things I can find to complain about.

Lately I’ve noticed I have fallen into the habit of seeing all that’s wrong.

As valid my complaints might be, in the middle of it all, there’s still good. There’s still something I can be grateful for.

Maybe it’s good music. It might be that I am healthy enough to move. Definitely family. Or that I got a good night’s sleep. Sometimes it’s clean water. Or just being able to go outside. Maybe it’s that my faith is settled, and my position in the Kingdom secured. And it’s ALWAYS coffee. What’s your something?

At the very least, look up. It ain’t over yet. You and I are still breathing.

What a time to be alive.

#ManiMonday! As my eyebrows have not been plucked

#ManiMonday! As my eyebrows have not been plucked in exactly 10,000 years, and looking this closely at my eyeball may cause discomfort but pulling the phone away from your face might make it seem like I’m picking my nose in this photo, let’s just focus on the nail polish 😂😂

I wanted to try the green one (“Geometry”)- I really did! But “World Lit” had me and now I can’t get unstuck 😬. It’s such a subtle and pretty color!

Which was your favorite Olive and June Fall color from the collection? It was between this and “Social Studies” (the washed out blue one) for me!

This is your Labor Day weekend edition of “HURRY

This is your Labor Day weekend edition of “HURRY up and take the pic this thing is heavy!!” 😂😂 But for real -this DIY abstract art was so fun to do!

Just an an old canvas or art, a drop cloth, joint component and spray paint.

You’ve gotta try this! See stories and highlights for how to do it!

Oh and I didn’t know what I was doing AT ALL so you guys, I hope you try some new things you don’t know how to do, too!

Have an amazing long weekend!

In today’s edition of things that didn’t make

In today’s edition of things that didn’t make it to the gram because it was the weekend and because it’s just a popsicle and because the kitchen was dirty and because the pic was blurry and because you don’t know my niece and because it’s not really a recipe it’s in my head and because it’s just mom problems and because it’s a FaceTime with Grandma and because my clothes were sold out: 👉🏾

Also. Thanks for being here and allowing me to be regular me.

A person who doesn’t like treating this place like my job, a person who takes breaks to sabbath and lament and grieve for our world, a person who makes mistakes, a person who combats comparison, a person who is breaking generational curses, a person who learns as she goes, a person who will work herself to exhaustion, a person who fights for her mental health, a person who is inconsistent, a person who dug out of depression by getting outside, a person who seeks The Lord and therapy, a person who knows first hand that all money isn’t good money, a person who is discovering “where do we go from here?” a person who just likes sharing what’s good. Thanks for that. I’m grateful.

You guys, here it is! I did the #Maxx50Challenge w

You guys, here it is! I did the #Maxx50Challenge with @tjmaxx and this is how I styled my Fall finds for $50! #ad Picked up this stone planter, decorative links, candle holders and printed throw pillow! (Bonus- I also nabbed this long, knit cardigan, a perfect transition into Fall!)

I love that T.J.Maxx has so many great fashion finds and cute pieces for the home all at incredible prices! Head up to stories to see how I did the challenge and click the link in my bio to shop similar pieces!

#ManiMonday: Ombré! I legit painted my nails ye

#ManiMonday: Ombré!

I legit painted my nails yesterday morning and like three hours later redid them just because the delivery guy came with the new O&J Fall collection. I have absolutely NO chill when it comes to new polish😂😂. But wasn’t it so worth it!!? Do you like an ombré, or do you pick one color and go with it? I haven’t tried the green one yet, but she’s next!

Have you been getting outside? I love being outdoo

Have you been getting outside? I love being outdoors -whether it’s hiking, walking or running. It’s no wonder because studies show it boosts mental health (and I’ve noticed a positive change in mine!)

Last week the fam and I went for a hike in Kentucky, and I wore these high waist leggings and cropped criss cross top- it can be worn as a tank or sports bra!

I LOVE these shoes for running and I wore them on our hike- I did not regret my decision!

….and then there was one.

I remember how much you wanted go with your three brothers to school on their first day but couldn’t.

I remember how happy you were to finally be included in the first day of school activities.

… and here you are, in your very last - in OUR very last - first day of school pic. I know you hate pictures, so thank you for this- for giving me this moment to remember.

Happy Senior Year to you, AG. The baby of the Groves Family.

Oh my heart … I’m not crying, you’re crying. Ok…I’m crying.
