Because if you know me at all, you know I’ve been blessed with the sassiest, most opinionated, wildly independent little girl…one who walks into a room like she owns it… and honestly? She kind of does. She rules her own little world, and somehow she’s the center of everyone else’s, too. The other day I…

It’s been a bit, and honestly, I wish I had a good reason. But like everyone else, this month has absolutely flown by, and the holidays caught up to me fast. Before I knew it, I was behind on wrapping, writing, and honestly just existing. Is 2-3 energy drinks a day unhealthy? Asking for a…

Everyone who knows me knows I’m an extrovert. I make friends easily and very rarely do I come across someone I don’t want to talk to. I thrive off of conversation and people. I get my energy from others and love being active in the lives of those around me and in my community. One…

This past week has been hard… for so many reasons. Hard because it’s been a week of questioning. A week of praying. A week of searching for peace and just wondering where in the world grace has gone. Not only was this week another anniversary of one of our nation’s greatest tragedies, a day that…

Sometimes I stop and think about what I actually do in a day. At the core of it, my main goal is to keep VJ alive, happy, and occupied, hopefully making as little mess as possible, and to keep up with all the things I’ve taken on. That’s the simple version, but the truth is,…

Three years ago, I had a simple idea: to take the little cow pasture beside my family’s small sporting goods store and transform it into something more. A space where people could gather, where small businesses could shine, and where our community could celebrate all it has to offer. I wanted to create a market…
