Ian has always been really good about making gift lists, so he helped me come up with this one. Almost all of these products he already owns and loves.

Social media often fuels comparison and insecurity, but what if we flipped the script and used it as an opportunity to pray for and encourage others? Ian and I started a simple habit of praying sincerely for people whose posts stirred bitterness or jealousy, and over time, it changed our hearts, reminding us to focus on God�s truth about our worth and His work in others� lives.

Growing up, I thought life truly began at the next milestone�high school, college, career, marriage�but each step left me asking, �Is this it?� Through Ecclesiastes, I learned that true satisfaction doesn�t come from checking boxes but from pursuing God and finding joy in the everyday moments He�s placed before us. Life isn�t about the �real world� society sells us; it�s about living faithfully where God has us right now.

Starting The Southern Trunk was a leap of faith for me, one that came with fears of failure, ego, and the unknown. But I�ve realized life isn�t about staying safe on the sidelines�it�s about sharing the unique journey God has given us, imperfections and all. Through this blog, I promise to be confident in my identity, transparent about life�s messiness, and rooted in God�s presence, always remembering to �be still and know that He is God� (Psalm 46). Let�s focus on the joy and blessings we�ve been given, rather than the comparison that steals it.

At The Southern Trunk, we believe in celebrating local businesses and the stories behind their products, which is why we�re thrilled to introduce our very first Trunk Show! We�re kicking things off with Acorns & The Oak, a family-run business founded by my talented friend Lily. Her hand-painted wood signs featuring Scripture are not only beautiful but also serve as a meaningful way to surround yourself with God�s Word. Whether you�re shopping for a custom piece or looking to support a heartfelt small business, Lily�s creations are a perfect addition to any home. Check out her work on Etsy or through her email to bring a piece of her creativity into your space!

The inspiration behind The Southern Trunk came from a childhood memory of discovering the treasures inside my parents� trunk�love letters, keepsakes, and pieces of their story. That magical experience sparked a desire to share not only what�s in my own trunk but the stories, memories, and treasures of others. From photography and travels to southern hospitality and thrifted gems, this blog highlights the simple, beautiful things that tell a greater story. My hope is that The Southern Trunk inspires you to see the everyday blessings that make life extraordinary.
