It’s a part of a Glidden advertisement featuring my work and the other talented My Colortopia bloggers. You open the inside cover of the magazine and BAM, my photo it’s like right there.

It’s so surreal!

I probably bought all of the issues at my local bookstore even though I have a digital subscription! There’s just something about seeing it print that makes it all the more real.

My experience as a Glidden My Colortopia blogger has be tremendously rewarding. Way beyond anything I ever imagined. Remember when I announced they were donating 88 gallons of paint for our 2013 Room Service Atlanta project? I think we all hit the roof. Here’s a video proof that Room Service Atlanta designers knocked it out the park for the kids at United Methodist Children’s Home!

Take a look…

From motherhood and marriage to the sidelines of Friday night lights, each entry offers a glimpse into the layered life I live—and the brands, spaces, and values that support it.

Whether you're here to be inspired, encouraged, or aligned, welcome. This is life beyond the blueprint
