Here We Go


Hey there, friends! I'm Hil, and I am an Introverted twenty-something living in a small town. I am engaged to my high school sweetheart and a Mom to one cute fur ball pup.

I love to organize, craft, plan, travel and enjoy life with my loved ones. I tend to have dry sarcastic humor, I never pass up donuts, I love vintage items, finding a good sale gives me life and I wish it was Christmas all year long. I have a huge heart but I can be sassy when needed and I am constantly working toward becoming the best version of myself. Some days I fall short, but I never stop striving towards getting where I want to be. We are all a work in progress, and that's okay!

We all know that adulting is hard. After a long day at work, there are times where I’m so exhausted when I get home I don’t have much energy left to do the things I love, like knitting or reading a good book. There are other days when I am so stressed that it seems like the walls are closing in on me. Lately, I’ve been trying to embrace the good in each day. Yes, life is stressful, busy, and hectic but there is always a few good things that happens every day. My goal is to slow down and notice those moments more (again, work in progress).

Here on Tea Time with Hil, I will share all the simple joys that life brings but will also talk about how real the struggle can be. A lot of times when we hear “tea” we think of gossip, but my tea is sharing experiences. I'm hoping to use this as an outlet for inspiration, growing in faith and encouragement not only for myself but for others, all while we sip a hot cup of tea (or coffee...wine, whatever you prefer haha). I mean let’s be real, a girls got to have her tea or coffee! This is a place where a small town introvert will give herself a space to just put it out there. Which can be hard for me at times. I plan to share topics that come to mind, that we all experience and go through. Aside from that, it will be whatever strikes my fancy.

When I think of Tea Talk, I instantly think of a space where you can be your true self and share what goes on in our day-to-day lives. It can be hard to be so introverted and put yourself out there, but this is my own little corner of the internet that I will use as a safe space to connect and share. While you are here, I hope you find peace, a giggle or two and mostly importantly, remember to not only enjoy the extraordinary things in life, but enjoy the ordinary too. Enough about me… Welcome, and thank you for stopping by. I hope you enjoy the tea!

I'm a Christian But ... - Tea Talk

Happy Tuesday to those who have taken the time to stop by my little corner of the internet!  Whelp, I'm about to get deep. Fair warning.  Recently, I have been thinking more & more about how awesome God is to love us despite our many flaws. He made us in his image and continues to love and protect us even though most days, we fall short.  My family has always been believers in God. While we may not have always been avid church goers, I have always known who God was and that everything I have is thanks to him. My Mom has always been a prayer warrior, and instilled in me very young to PRAY and seek God for everything. Every night I find her on her knees praying before bed. If I could describe an earthy Angel, it would be my Mom. Speaking of Angels, I think of my Paternal Grandfather, who we called Papa. He was a man of faith through & through, most of his days were spent reading his Bible, that he read front to back time and time again. As he got older, he would li...

The Art of saying "No" - Tea Talk

I know I'm not the only one who has struggled with saying "NO" at times. This was actually something I actively worked in this year and I feel that I've gotten a lot better but even so, it still can be hard to say not without feeling guilty. I realized I struggle with this over a year ago. I had constant back-to-back lunches and dinners, etc. scheduled with friends and family. Everything was so close together, I was struggling with having time to myself to regroup. Finally, when things slowed down, I realized just how exhausted I was. Also, I realized all of the money I used from constantly having outings so close together. It was then that it clicked; I could've said no . I could've easily say "hey, this month I am booked but maybe next month". Why didn't I do that? Guilt. I felt like I was being anti-social or letting people down who clearly wanted to hang out with me. But you know, that wasn't fair to me. I've said this before, b...
