Meet Dorothy

Hey ya’ll, I’m Dorothy. I’m glad you’re here!

 I grew up in Arkansas where I fell in love with all things southern and feminine. (And where I got my southern accent). I met my husband when we worked together as camp counselors. He had the biggest smile, we shared the same values and had that special “it” factor. After college, we got married and planted roots in the Show Me State {Missouri}. We have a sweet girl named Audrey Grace and just welcomed our newest family member John William. Gotta love those double names! 🙂 Oh, and I can’t forget our first “fur baby” Darling- our sweet little Cavalier King Charles spaniel. I’m a lover of family dance parties in the kitchen, dinner and game nights with friends, sippin’ chai lattes, bright lipstick, and getting to know people on a “heart” level.

Life to the Fullest

My life’s motto comes from John 10:10b where Jesus says “I came that you may have life, and have it to the full!” May it be full indeed. This blog is all about documenting the beautiful things in life. Things that make my heart full. And I hope they do the same for you.  

What is this blog all about?

My love for blogging stems from the hope to encourage and inspire other women to be the best versions of themselves, inside and out! I believe in sharing life’s authentic moments with you, as I find there needs to be more of that in this social media driven world. You’ll find a little of everything on here. I will be sharing real life, motherhood, my personal style, beauty favorites, the occasional home decor, pregnancy updates and everything in between.  I hope my little corner of the world inspires and encourages you.

While I may spend a lot of time talking about beauty, style, decor, fitness, etc. . . I know that my worth is in Christ. God has given me a passion for all of these things, and I intend to use it and share it with you all! I have learned along the way how essential it is to find my value in God and not in my looks, success/failures, others opinions of me or material possessions. I know that those things don’t have lasting significance and will essentially fade away. That’s not to say I don’t love a good lipstick! 😉 I just know that when you find your true joy in God, He can make you radiate from the inside out and give you a life worth living. When all else fades away, your heart is the only thing that matters to Him. Or as Audrey Hepburn would say, “Happy girls are the prettiest.”

Outside of blogging, I work as a dance and fitness coach. When I’m not working, I’m usually hanging with a friend or two (extrovert here!), doing a bible study, watching kiddos or running errands. I also love decorating my home & finding items that breath new life into a space.

Out of the many hats I wear, being a wife and mom is what I love most. I am trying to find a balance between being the best wife/mom/friend I can be, working out, fulfilling my passions in life, and staying sane all at once. I hope you enjoy my ramblings here and follow along on my journey!

May we always walk with a sparkle in our eye and a spring in our step. I hope our lives, marriage, and yes even this blog, will be for the praise of His glory. Grab a coffee…or a chai 😉 and stay awhile!
