The beginning is always my favorite part.
The quiet preparation.
The careful placement.
The moment before transformation.
Baking is part of The Abundant Bee that I haven’t been able to enjoy much this winter. Life has been full in other ways — creating, building, stretching — but this part of me has been waiting patiently.
Tonight, I’m stepping back into it.
Cast iron. Brown sugar melting. Pineapple and cherries placed one by one.
This is what abundance looks like too.
Not just productivity — but returning to the things that make you feel like yourself again.
Taking these moments where I can. And grateful for every one of them. 🍍✨

Valentine’s Day, but softer tonight. 🕯️🍷

This 2014 Merlot from Trefethen feels like a slow exhale. Gentle. Grounded. Familiar in the most comforting way.

There’s something about Merlot—the way it doesn’t demand attention, but earns it. Smooth layers, quiet depth, and warmth that unfolds over time. Just like the kind of love that stays.
The candle flickers. The room grows still. And for a moment, everything feels held.

Not every Valentine’s memory is loud. Some are built in the quiet—
in the glass you didn’t rush,
in the moment you didn’t interrupt,
in the peace you allowed yourself to feel.
Love, in its truest form, is patient enough to breathe.

I used to bend
like soft grass under your footsteps,
calling it kindness,
calling it love,
calling it friendship.
I wore your expectations
like borrowed clothes—
never quite fitting,
but I kept them on
so you wouldn’t leave.
You spoke in certainty,
and I mistook it for truth.
You called it guidance,
but it was gravity—
always pulling me toward you,
never toward myself.
But something holy stirred.
A quiet remembering.
A voice older than your opinions,
stronger than your approval.
It whispered:
You do not belong to them.
So I stood up.
My “no” stopped apologizing.
My silence stopped explaining.
My peace stopped negotiating.
You call it distance.
I call it freedom.
You call it rebellion.
I call it obedience.
Because I remembered whose child I am.
I am not yours to shape.
Not yours to correct.
Not yours to carry.
I am a daughter of the Most High King.
I bow to Him—
not to your disappointment,
not to your pressure,
not to your control.
I do not hate you.
I simply stepped out
of the cage
you convinced me was love.
And for the first time,
I am standing
exactly where He placed me—
unmoved,
unowned,
and finally free.

Some wines aren’t just poured… they’re remembered. 🍷

This 2014 Malbec from Freemark Abbey was exactly that kind of evening. Deep, rich, and quietly confident—like the kind of love that doesn’t need to announce itself to be known.
Notes of dark fruit, softened edges from time, and that unmistakable Napa Valley warmth. It’s the kind of bottle you open when you’re not rushing anywhere. When conversation lingers. When presence matters more than plans.

Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be elaborate to be meaningful. Sometimes it’s a single glass, soft light, and someone who feels like home.

This was one of those nights. @freemarkabbey

Trust changes what you see.
When your heart leans fully into God, worry loosens its grip and peace finds its place. 🤍
Sometimes the shift isn’t in our circumstances — it’s in our surrender. And in that surrender, joy starts to grow again.

If you’re in a season of learning to trust deeper, this is your reminder: you are held, guided, and never alone.

Save this for the days you need it most.

Edinburgh has my heart 🏰✨
From the sound of bagpipes drifting through the Royal Mile to misty castle views and cozy cafés tucked down cobblestone closes — this city felt like stepping straight into a storybook.
We wandered, we tasted, we climbed, we got a little lost… and honestly, those were the best parts. Travel memories like this are why I document the journey — not just the sights, but the feelings.
If Edinburgh is on your list — go. Walk it slowly. Look up often. Let it surprise you.
Save this for your Scotland trip inspo 🇬🇧
Follow for more travel + cozy adventure moments.

Sipping on the Big Dog Vineyards 2018 Pinot Noir tonight, and this one is all about balance and elegance 🍷
Bright red cherry and raspberry lead the way, followed by subtle notes of earthy spice and soft oak. It’s smooth, medium-bodied, and incredibly drinkable—one of those Pinot Noirs that feels cozy yet refined at the same time.
This 2018 Pinot Noir is perfect for slow evenings, a cozy dinner at home, or pairing with roasted chicken, mushroom dishes, or a simple charcuterie board. If you love a California Pinot Noir with silky tannins and layered flavor, this bottle is absolutely worth opening.
Sometimes the best moments are just good wine, good company, and a quiet night in.

A cozy stay right on the Thames ✨
We loved our time at The Tower Hotel—from the seriously comfortable bed to the spotless bathroom (with shelves for all the toiletries 🙌).
Waking up to river views and ending the night with Tower Bridge glowing outside our window was pure London magic.
Would absolutely stay here again.

Tomahawk Tuesday done right 🥩🍷
Savoring a 2014 Trefethen Estate Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon—bold, smooth, and beautifully layered—paired with an unforgettable tomahawk steak at Wild Rose Eatery and Bar.
This Cab brings rich dark fruit, soft tannins, and just enough structure to stand up to a perfectly cooked steak. One of those pairings that makes you slow down, sip intentionally, and appreciate the moment. Cheers to great wine, great food, and even better company. ✨🍷

London isn’t just big landmarks and busy streets 🤍
Tucked just steps from Paddington Station, Little Venice feels like a secret escape — calm canals, colorful boats, and the slowest pace in the city. One of my favorite unexpected London finds ✨🚤

Holiday thrifting might be my favorite kind of thrifting 🎄
These festive wine glasses and this holly glass bowl were such a steal — and turning the bowl into a candle made it even better.
Cozy, vintage, and under $8 total… yes please ✨
Who else loves a good thrifted holiday find?

POV: you’re walking through a quiet, cobblestone street in Edinburgh where everything feels slower, softer, and timeless. No agenda. No rush. Just the sound of footsteps on stone and the feeling that you’ve stepped into another era. Some places don’t need a name — they stay with you because of how they make you feel. ✨

Her happiness didn’t fade with circumstances,
because it was anchored in something eternal.
Not in fleeting moments or changing seasons,
but in God’s love, His promises, and the grace that held her steady when life shifted.
That kind of joy doesn’t disappear—it lasts. 🤍

✨ Save this as a reminder of where true joy is found.

There’s something so magical about turning a thrifted find into something beautiful ✨

These Christmas mason jars were already festive, so I melted down leftover red and green candles from home and gave them a whole new purpose. Simple, cozy, and sustainable—this is my favorite kind of DIY.

Would you try this candle flip? ♻️🕯️

Edinburgh stays don’t have to be fancy to be memorable 🤍

Our Airbnb on Rose Street was all about location — just steps from great pubs, only about a 10-minute walk from the train station, and perfectly placed for long days of exploring the city.
And while others were navigating the steep hills of the Royal Mile with their luggage, we were securely on flat ground with only a small climb — something we truly appreciated after a long travel day.
It was small, simple, and comfortable. Clean spaces, a cozy bed, a washer (which was a huge win at this point in our trip), and everything we needed as a home base while we were out soaking up Edinburgh every day.
Would we stay here again? Absolutely — especially if location matters most to you.

She radiated joy—not because life was easy,
but because her joy was rooted in something unshakable.

Even in the hard moments, she knew where her strength came from. A Savior who never failed her. A hope that didn’t depend on circumstances. A peace that held steady when everything else felt uncertain.

No matter the season, she could always rejoice in Him. 🤍

✨ Save this as a reminder that joy can still bloom.

We wash our hands… but are we washing our fruit properly? 🍎🍓

Before slicing, juicing, or snacking, I always soak my fruits in a simple mix of vinegar, water, and baking soda. It helps remove dirt, wax, and residue you can’t see — and it’s one of the easiest habits you can add to your wellness routine.
Clean food = a cleaner start for your body 🤍
Small steps really do make a difference.
Save this for later & share with someone who needs this reminder ✨
