Before Farm. Fashion. Family. here’s where it all began — my lifelong love for animals and the journey that shaped Where Fashion Meets Life. From childhood dreams of veterinary medicine to advanced degrees in Animal Science and Biomechanics, horses and farm life have always been part of my story. Today I’m raising my family on a Mississippi hobby farm filled with horses, goats, chickens, and plenty of everyday adventures rooted in both science and heart.

What started as a “maybe I’m a travel blogger” moment turned into an unforgettable girls’ trip to New York City with three generations. From Broadway magic and subway adventures to iconic sights, kid-friendly tips, and favorite food stops, this post captures the laughter, lessons, and memories we never want to forget. If you’re planning NYC with kids — or just love a good travel story — consider this a practical guide wrapped in a family memory book.

Life has been loud lately, and showing up hasn’t always been easy — hello recovering perfectionism and the struggle with change. In this honest reflection, I share what it looks like to navigate seasons of disruption, social anxiety, and unexpected shifts while learning to focus on what truly matters. By narrowing in on what you can control and letting go of the rest, change becomes less overwhelming and more of an opportunity for growth and forward movement.

Spring is finally here — longer days, blooming flower beds, and more time spent outside soaking up mild weather. With the season comes a wardrobe refresh, and my favorite way to change up an outfit is with shoes. From casual fashion sneakers to comfy wedges, bold animal prints, and easy strappy sandals, I’m sharing four of my go-to spring footwear picks that combine style, comfort, and versatility to carry you through the season in style.

Finding my voice again meant choosing to quiet my inner critic and share anyway. During a recent family trip — our kids’ first Christmas travel gift — I slowed down enough to truly see who they’re becoming and dream about the adventures still ahead with our “big kids.” This post blends honest reflections on fear and growth with a few favorite travel must-haves that made our time together smoother, more comfortable, and full of meaningful memories.
