Eek, I have been SO excited to share the latest installment of my socially conscious living room makeover with y’all!! This was the fun part where Kelly at @gratify_home picked out sustainable and ethically made furniture and decor options for our new living room! Link in bio for all the details and 3D models of the two design options in action. This process has been SO cool, and Kelly nailed the design!

Which of these mood boards do you like best - Option 1 or Option 2??

I love traveling the globe, yet I’m often reminded of just how lucky we are to have all that we have here in the South. These incredible dunes are just a few hours’ drive from my house. I love to travel, but I also absolutely love home here in NC too.

What’s your favorite place to explore here in the South?

First post-quarantine vacation was a huge success!

First post-quarantine vacation was a huge success! It was wonderful to see family we hadn’t gotten to be with in so long...and amazing to get out and see, taste, and smell the beautiful world! Life is all the more stunning through post-pandemic lenses.

Where was or will be your first destination post-quarantine? Leave me a comment and help me dream up more travel adventures! ⬇️

Green vibes only. 🌎

Y’all know it’s Earth Day every day around here, but I’m excited to celebrate a little extra today. Seems fitting to wear this organic cotton tank from @wearpact (one of my fave sustainable and fair trade clothing brands!), made with 91% less water than conventional cotton and no toxic chemicals.

Choices as small as the next shirt you buy can collectively have such a huge impact on our Earth!

It’s not just about your individual choices; it’s about how pooled together, millions of individual choices force businesses and governments to make lasting systemic change.

What is one step, big or small, you are taking today to care for our planet?

Quick lil reminder as we enter Earth Week...there

Quick lil reminder as we enter Earth Week...there is no Planet B! This one crazy planet is the only home we’ve got!

A few years ago I wrote a blog post about why I think it’s so important to be eco-friendly. Why exactly should we be concerned about the way we’re treating Earth? What is actually going on with pollution and climate change? And most importantly, what can we do about it?

Head to the link in my bio to read about my personal “why” for caring about sustainability. It’s more relevant now than ever before!

As I sat under post-vaccine observation along with

As I sat under post-vaccine observation along with dozens of others in the gymnasium of a small town high school today, I looked around and felt so grateful.

Selfishly grateful that I hopefully won’t have to be sick with COVID.

Grateful for all of the sweet, Southern-accented volunteers running the clinic so that lives could be saved.

Grateful that everyone sitting around me, especially those with gray heads and canes, are one step closer to safety from a deadly virus.

Grateful for an opportunity to love my neighbor as myself and protect those around me who are especially vulnerable to COVID.

That’s the one thing I hope anyone reading this will consider. Choosing to get the COVID-19 vaccine (or any other vaccine) isn’t just a personal decision, it’s an opportunity to love your neighbor. I work daily with critically ill children, many of whom won’t be able to get the COVID vaccine (or most other vaccines) even once it’s approved for use with children. They can only be protected by other people choosing to get vaccinated.

The fear and anxiety of COVID have been real for so many over the last year, but especially for the families I work with. Many of them truly cannot leave the house because they know contracting COVID would be deadly for their child.

Today I’m grateful for the chance to help protect them, and I’m grateful to everyone else doing their part too!

Now...who wants to take bets on how long it will be before the second vaccine body aches hit? 😜
