Anyone who thinks that true friendships can’t be formed if they begin online is crazy.

Hi + welcome to my little spot in the blogesphere.
I'm so glad you stopped by.
My name is Alissa + I'm the fun-loving, chocolate addict, coffee drinking
Wife + Mom behind the blog Rags to Stitches.
I hope you’ll pop around and stay for a while.




loved this coffee date so much, such great advice. I think we could all tell our old self those pieces of wisdom! i wish i would have gotten my act together this week to record one, i have tons of things to tell my old self, hehe. I think your hair looks great in the vlog, but I know how you feel about cutting your hair. When I cut mine last year I eventually wished I hadn’t and now i am waiting impatiently for it to grow back out. miss you!

Isn’t it funny how when we look back at our “former selves” the things that we would say? When we’re young it seems like everything is the be all to end all. haha If only I could go back and tell myself to get over it.
and thanks for the sweet words about my hair. growing it out takes forever right? Miss you! xox

You’re so funny, I was just thinking to myself how much I love your hair…even today. It looks cute always!
I have been feeling the same way about fighting God on what he wants me to do in fear of what others may think or say about me. It’s something I need to work on as well! Since I have been trying to listen to Him more, I have been blessed so much!
Love linking here as always! xoxo

Letting go of that fear is so hard right?! So thankful for a God who is stronger + wiser and extends us so much grace. xox

So excited to link up with both of you amazing women today! Funny you mention your hair. I look back at pics of me with long hair and i’m all like “Why did I ever have long hair?”

I think your hair looks adorable short!!! I do love my short hair, most days. I just wish on the other days it was 2-3 inches longer. hahaha
