I was able to spend the most amazing weekend in Nashville at the Trades of Hope retreat and training called Empower. I roadtripped down with some other ladies! We stayed in Dundee, OH with one of the ladies’ brother-in-law’s in Amish country and picked another one up in the Cincinnati area on our way down. This trip was…. wow. It’s taken me all day to write up this post because of how many things I could talk about with this trip. I feel like it would be a really long

Happy Friday! If you’re following us on Instagram, you would have noticed by now that I’m in Nashville this weekend! I’m actually attending the Trades of Hope conference called Empower! I wanted to sneak this post in from our Tuesday night adventure over to our local county fair, especially since I was sporting some fair trade jewelry.

Still getting used to the whole “modeling in the middle of public spaces” thing, but people were walking by making comments that we must be famous. Haha, maybe they’ll come find our blog one

Happy Friday! We have been super busy this week preparing for our Garage Sale, so we haven’t had a lot of time! We know that we’re behind on a Camper Update that we mentioned, but we will have it up next week, we promise! Here’s a short Fair Trade Friday featuring what I wore on my 22nd birthday this past Wednesday!

Welcome back to Fair Trade Friday! I think I’m gonna really like this series! Luke on the other hand… well, let’s just say he is a very patient photographer. 🙂

I’m trying to do the “fashion blogger pose”, but it looks like I’m just being eaten by my ginormous hat. Funny story… I didn’t want to wear these

Welcome to Fair Trade Friday! So excited to start this new series.

A little over a year ago I learned about this amazing company called Trades of Hope. I love the idea of this company, especially since it lines up with what Luke and I have learned through our missions courses and what we want to do with our lives. They are Fair Trade Certified, faith-based, and the best part: their stuff is ADORABLE!! I’m not necessarily a “fashion forward” person compared to a lot of the big fashion bloggers out

We are feeling very encouraged, inspired, and refreshed after a long weekend filled with connecting with missions-minded people just like us.

On Thursday morning I met with a friend that I met at a vendor fair last year. She introduced me to an amazing company called Trades of Hope, and I have been interested ever since. Love their handmade, fair trade jewelry… love their mission as a company… literally everything about this company makes it so perfect for me. I’m SO impressed with them!  You will be hearing more about them
