Coffee Conversations with a Purple Girl
Dear Young Me, You are in high school and things seem complicated. The world is a scary and uncertain place. You don’t know what you want to do. The world has told you your passion isn’t good enough to support you. They’ve told you you can’t make a living writing and you should go to […]
This past week I did the “Love Your Spouse” challenge on Facebook. The challenge was to post a picture of your spouse on Facebook every day for seven days and tag two people to keep it going. I may have tagged a few people throughout the week, but not two every day. I’ll admit, I […]
First off, so sorry to have missed yesterday. I really had intended to write something good at some point but the time sort of got away from me. We’ve had a busy past three days and you throw in another stomach flu and everything kinda goes wonky. Not me this time. This time the flu […]
Hey guys, so sorry about missing Monday, but I have a good excuse, I promise! I was rather sick on Monday, so I guess this is me catching you all up. Since having the stomach flu is pretty gross and self-explanatory, we’ll leave it at that. I had the stomach flu on Monday, it wasn’t […]
This past week has been filled with cupcakes, mostly. For my cousin Brittney’s wedding I volunteered to make cupcakes so they didn’t have to worry about getting enough cake for everyone.

Dear Brides, Congratulations! This is probably the most stressful and exciting summer of your life, but at the end of it all, you get to spend your life with the fella you love and that’s awesome! I’m sure you’ve already read all the advice the internet has to give you. You’ve probably looked at hundreds […]
Guys, guys, guys! Christmas is two days away! Tomorrow is Christmas eve and the celebrations begin! My husband and I will be opening presents tomorrow morning, enjoying half a day to ourselves, and then heading up to begin celebrating with my mom’s side of the family for the evening. Friday we’ll go over early to […]
We’re so close now, guys. We’re only one week away from Christmas! We’re still waiting on some gifts to arrive, which is stressful, I’m still not done with my gift for Dad, which is more stressful, but no time to slow down now! Every day from now to next Saturday is booked up with family […]
Probably the biggest tradition we have in my family is the list of Christmas cookies that my dad makes every year. The list is pretty impressive, including at least six different kinds of cookies made in triple batches to be shared on cookie trays all through the holiday season, and then to be stored in […]
