Meet the Magnolias

Teleport to Indiana tonight... This weekend, even now, ladies are traveling to the third annual Influence Conference. Ever since the first one, I've hoped and wished to be there. Maybe next year.  If you're there, remember this. God loves you. He has a perfect plan and purpose. I know it may be hard/stressful to be away from home and your family, but you're there for a divine reason. Soak it all in - for you and for those of us who are at home.  Here's to another beautiful year.  Love, Jessica  @jesstinybird

I love participating in the Currently link-up that Jenna and Anne do every month. As I mentioned , I love lists, so this is just another outlet for that! (It's the first Wednesday of every month, and we would love for you to join us!!) I'm currently writing : blog posts upon blog posts and text messages! Y'all, I love to text. I love having constant communication - whether it be text, email, or social media. I'm working on some blog drafts, so here's hoping the writing bug sticks with me! (After reading some other ladies' posts, I'm reminded that I used to love writing in a journal. I need to get back to that!) I'm also hopeful that the change in seasons will get my creative juices flowing so I can work on a couple of pieces of fiction, too! I'm currently anticipating : the weekend! Yes, I know it's a short work week, but for some reason, they can seem longer than the usual weeks do. Also, my sister turns 14 this we

Sweet McKenzie from Life in the Sunshine nominated me for a Liebster Award. Until she told me, I hadn't heard of this super fun networking project! Check out her post here . Basically, the Liebster Award is a way to expand the reach of tiny blogs by sharing them with readers. Here are the rules, copied from McKenzie's post: 1. Post 11 facts about yourself. 2. Answer 11 questions provided by the person who nominated you. 3. Create 11 questions to ask your nominees. 4. Let your nominees know they have been tagged, no tag backs. 5. Make sure the blogs you nominate are under 200 followers; the goal is to promote small blogs you love or what to get to know.     My 11 facts: 1. I love bright colors, but I also love black. Lots of both. 2. I'm a natural blonde and only started dying it blonde-r last year! 3. I wish I could go to Disney World every single day. I'd never get tired of it. 4. We got rid of our cable in December, and I'm still

I thought I'd share some of my favorite apps (as of late) with y'all. You know, in case you need another way to spend your spare time! I'm sure you've heard of most of these, but I want to share them just in case. I troll the app store for new ones to try all the time. Photo apps are my favorite, so all of these fit in that category. If it's an app dealing with pictures AND ties into social media, I'm. So. There. Here are five of my favorites in the event you want to try them out!! Timehop is the perfect app for my super nostalgia. Everyday, the app sends me a notification that my Timehop is ready! It's a daily stroll down memory lane!!!!! I do wish that MySpace was an included social network to pull from since I was a loyalist for five years before joining Facebook. It's available on iTunes and on Google Play ! Also, I wish they offered a calendar feature. I tweeted about it here . Retweet it, and let them know what we need!!!
