I just launched an online planner and journal store called Vine Planner! The very first planner is a teacher edition! The roots of Vine Planner started growing back in 2013. I was a recent graduate of Georgia Southern University and just accepted my first teaching job at a middle school in Houston County, Georgia. I was [...]
I honestly never wanted to write about this because it reveals something that once caused my faith to waver. Now that we are in the midst of something that causes anxiety and fear to creep in, I know I need to share my story. God reminded me that my testimony is important. It is meant [...]
I’m on day 25 of a new workout program called Morning Meltdown 100. I’m loving the workouts and the “Be 100” journal that I’m able to track my progress and commitment in. This week a page in the journal was dedicated to completing a pie chart displaying how I prioritize my time. It helped me [...]

Ryan and I went running with my brother a few days ago. After mile one, I noticed my brother was not in sight anymore. I am a HUGE competitor so seeing someone else run with more effort inspired me to pick up my pace. I wasn't able to catch up with my brother, but his [...]
What do you think I spend the most time doing on my phone? If you answered scrolling through social media, you’re not completely wrong. I do need to spend less time on FB and Instagram. But the answer is... looking for houses on Apps like Zillow and Realtor. I’m a sucker for old houses. The [...]
