Hi! I’m Megan, mom to a thoughtful teenager and spunky young girl. We call Houston home and recently moved into our dream home. I traded my lawyer hat to become a full-time blogger in 2010. I love sharing my passion for affordable fashion, home decor, organization, & fitness to help inspire you to take care of you!
Megan, so glad to hear that you were showered with love and such special, thoughtful gifts on your special day. Please know I continue to keep your dad, and the entire family as it effects all involved in prayer. May he draw strength from our Heavenly Father. Praying for you as a daughter, wife, mother, sister, friend as well. It is in times like these that we feel pulled in so many directions. Praying for health and strength for you as well.
Thank you so much Lauren! I appreciate you!
You got some wonderful gifts! What amazing friends you have, I would love ALL of those gifts! I am sorry to hear about your dad, I will keep him in my prayers! I totally understand how time consuming and exhausting it is to take care of a loved one, but you gotta do it! Hope you get to escape to blog every now and then. Hugs!
You are right. The illness doesn't just effect the patient, it takes a toll on the caregivers as well. We are staying tight and strong together. Hugs to you!
Happy Birthday! Send prayers to your Dad and entire family. I agree that blogging is a wonderful and creative escape. Hang in there!
I didn't realize how much it would mean to me until I'd been at it for awhile. And when I'm away too long, I really miss it. Thanks for the Birthday wishes!
Prayers for you and your family, Megan.
Thank you Barbara!
What lovely and thoughtful gifts and friends you have! So glad you had a nice celebration- especially during a hard time. Prayers for you and your family.
It was so good to have a night out to celebrate and just enjoy time together. Hope you're having a great day!
Sending prayers to you & your family.
Thanks Traci! I believe in the power of prayer and so does my family. To hear that someone who reads my blog, but has never met me, is praying for us really touches me. Thank you!
So glad you are surrounded by support! It can make all the difference in the world. Hugs to you and your family.
So true. Hugs backacha!

I appreciate your prayers Andrea. Hope you and your adorable family are doing well!
I am so happy you had a fabulous birthday Megan spent with dear friends. You received lovely gifts and of course the best gift of all is treasured friendships. It sounds like you have a wonderful, loving and supportive group. I keep your Dad, you and your family in my prayers. Please do make sure you take good care of yourself. A big hug to you!
I am so fortunate to have a big support group of wonderful friends and family. And blog friends like YOU Allison! You are one of the sweetest out there! Hope life is being kind to you!
Sweet gifts from sweet friends! I pray strength, unity and health for you and your family. I pray your dad feels the love and closeness of his family every second of his day. Thank you for your awesome blog that has inspired so many.
Thank you so much Maria for your kind and heartfelt words.

HI Megan!
Sending prayers toward your father, you and your family. I understand the difficult time you must be going through.
What journaling bible did you get? You just intrigued me to invest in one since I would like to read through (most) of the bible this year. Did you receive it yet and do you like it?
Thanks,
Megan
I did! I initially ordered a double column bible and returned it because it felt like the font (and the bible itself) were too small. I ended up with a single-column ESV bible by Crossway. The font is about the same size, but it's a little darker, which helps. Also, this one is about an inch longer, so it's a better fit. The first one was almost square, so that was weird for me. I followed one of those "1-year bible reading plans" years ago and it helped me get through it in just over a year. Let me know how it goes!
It looks like your friends know just what you like! Are those Love, Hugs & XOXO tags homemade or can we buy them somewhere? I LOVE them. Prayers for your dad. <3
