THOUGHTS FROM KD:
So as a single woman, myself and others can either put barriers on what love is supposed to look like, or be celebrated as a single woman.
Date night, flowers, candy, teddy bears, surprises ... There can be an unnecessary pressure of missing out or not even feeling worthy enough because your single.
But this is not what love looks like for everyone. As a single woman or man you have the the choice to celebrate how ever you desire no matter what! Unfortunately, sometimes Valentines Day can be an instant reminder of what is missing to some every year.

Feeling like your not worthy, or settling for being treated less than because of your relationship status. This Valentines Day, I choose to break the limits, boundaries, stigmas of singleness and it isn’t just for Valentines Day, but for any day of the year!

We, as the singles, can celebrate love regardless of our relationship status, love isn’t only experienced in romantic relationships, it’s a part of our beings as humans. And for me as a woman of God, it’s my birth right! It’s my duty to spread love and share love because God is love... Most of us have family, friends, pets, co-workers, etc. Its really up to us how we choose to utilize the gift of love we share through us!! So let’s be more bold in love! Let’s be more fearless in love!! Let’s choose to let love have no limits..💕

Can you believe it is almost 2019? Like didn’t 2018 just start? Time really does love faster and faster each year... I can’t imagine how time will fly by the time I hit 50! It’s truly going to feel like, “A thousand years is like a day.” 😂

How was your Christmas? KD and I spent it with people close to our hearts. Friends in Alabama for her, and in-law’s in Arizona for me. Every Christmas has different memories and traditions, but with Jesus as the center each one is beautiful. Be sure to share what you did for Christmas in the comment section. We would love to hear about your holidays!!

So today we have two bright and beautiful NYE looks for those of you who still haven’t made up your minds which look you will be achieving to ring in the new year.
​Some of you may be toasting 2019 in your jammies, but some of you may be looking to go a little more formal. If you’re the latter than these looks are the perfect inspiration for you!

Sequins + New Years Eve = a perfect combination. Silver and black is festive yet chic combo that will suit any skin type, as well as appeal to almost any style. If you do chose sequins as your focal point, avoid gaudy jewelry. Something simple and understated will keep you from looking over-done and cheap.
​

This dress? Ummm, yes please! Gold. Sequins. Cocktail style. It’s the epitome of the perfect NYE look.
A good pair of heels and a red lip, completes the beautiful ensemble.
If the cocktail dress length isn’t your thing, don’t let that keep you from similar styling. If you wanted to go totally classic, a LBD with some flirty heels and a red lip would be just about as NYE appropriate as sequins. 💖

Whether you choose to dress up or not, KD and I hope that your New Years is full of joy and blessing as you anxiously anticipate the year 2019 and all it will bring. No one knows if the coming year will hold happiness or sorrow, but how beautiful to know, that Jesus is already there, waiting for us, walking with us, and knowledgeable about what will befall us in the coming year, good or bad.

We won’t be talking again until we are living in the new year, so enjoy the last few days of 2018! May it be full of family, friends, laughter, prayer and bright thoughts.

God bless you all!

Only four more sleeps til Christmas! Can you believe it? Are you traveling for the holidays or staying home? We (Shell’s family) is headed to Phoenix again. The kids are getting so excited.

Today we want to share two great holiday inspiration looks. And nothing says Christmas like a sweater. This lovely blush pink number is sure to turn some heads this Christmas. It’s chic, comfortable (yes, comfort is key with those Christmas hams and cookies) and just screams WINTER!

This next look is for those of you who live in the warmer climates who would just sweat too much in a sweater.... it’s still swoon-worthy, but not quite as heavy.

Isn’t she lovely? Any outfit would look fabulous on her. Hopefully one of these outfits inspires you if you’re still searching your closet for your Christmas Dinner ensemble. Sweater or sleeveless, quilted or pleated skirt, no matter what you end up wearing, even if it’s just a velour sweatsuit, spending this God-centered holiday, surrounded by those who you love and who love you is truly the sweetest part of Christmas.

​If you are struggling with loneliness and brokenness this season, we want to love on you and pray for you. You do not go unnoticed. Please contact us (find our info in the About Us section.) We love you, and we want you to know that God loves you too.

Before we go, KD has prepared a beautiful list of holiday traditions for a single woman, living far from her home this holiday season.

”This particular Christmas season I’ve been inspired to create my own traditions. As a single woman rediscovering who I am on this journey of singleness; I’m learning to push the limitations on the world and my idea of what I can design for my life! Despite living thousands of miles away from most of my family. I’ve built new relationships gained new family. It’s opened my mind, and heart to take risks and dream bigger.. So, the traditions I’ve come up with are:
1: Decorating the Christmas tree together with a new theme each year.

2: Matching pjs (if you’re living alone, doing it with your best friends or “new” family.)

3: Family Christmas portrait. (Even if it isn’t with your blood family.)

4: Decorating the house for the holiday season, while listening to Christmas music. Especially DIYing something new together as a family to add a special touch of holiday cheer unique to our family.

5: Binge watching christmas movies with the family the night before chritmas.
​
6: Adding a special ornament of significance each year. It’s amazing to look back and see the uniqueness of each year.”

Merry Christmas our dear readers! May Jesus Bless you richly as we celebrate His birth. The beautiful incarnation of God joining our frail human race will give us all so much to celebrate! Check back with us next week for a beautiful NYE look, to inspire you for 2019! What?! 2019?! Crazy!

God bless,
