✨Happy National Pageant Day ✨

Wearing a crown isn't just wearing a crown, it's wearing leadership. And that's something that never leaves you, no matter what stage you're standing on.

From the little girl with the biggest dreams, to where I am today, pageants shaped me in ways I'm still discovering. The confidence, the grace under pressure, the ability to walk into any room and OWN it.. that didn't come from nowhere. It came from the work, the preparation, and the moments when the spotlight was bright and I had to show up anyway ✨

Every day feels like a little bit of pageant life. Carrying myself with purpose, leading with heart, and always showing up as my best self.

To every girl who's ever worn a crown or dreamed of one, it is so much bigger than a title. It's about who you become in the process.

Here's to the journey, the sparkle, and the leader behind the crown. Here is to my amazing pageant sisters, the ones who work hard and lead with their heart, I look up to you all. To my wonderful pageant coaches and mentors, thank you for all you pour into me. This day is for us all 🫶🏼

Xoxo, Pip

There’s just something special about seeing that Arkansas flag wave ❤️ Sheldon Smith

I am so proud to call this beautiful state home. From the people, to the places, to the heart behind our communities, Arkansas is truly something special. I feel so grateful to represent this state as your Miss Diamond State Elementary America 4th Grade in the Miss Elementary America National Pageant.

But being proud also means caring deeply… and knowing there is still work to be done.

Did you know there are thousands of children in foster care right here in Arkansas? Kids who may not have the same stability, comfort, or resources that so many of us are blessed with every single day.

That’s why my platform, Fostering Crowns, means so much to me.

I want every child to feel seen, supported, and loved. Whether it’s through donation drives, blessing baskets, or simply spreading kindness, I believe even the smallest acts can make a big difference. Help me work to provide essentials to our foster families and foster children in our community.

Arkansas is amazing… but together, we can make it even better.

I’m proud of where I come from, and even more proud to use my crown to serve the children in it ❤️

I cannot believe I did not post yesterday, but I am posting today and today I’m using my voice to spread awareness for something so important 💜

Autism is not something to “fix”, it’s something to understand, support, and celebrate.

Let’s be kind, inclusive, and always choose to lift others up.

Together, we can make a difference 🌈

It’s deadline day for Miss Elementary America National Pageant and I am so excited to share my official headshot and ad page!

📷 Thank you Jenn Skaggs Edwards for letting me sit behind your camera, I love my pictures so much.
📰 Thank you Crowning Glory Graphic Designs for the perfect ad page!

Counting down the days to Little Rock!

My ad is officially submitted.
My headshot is uploaded.
My paperwork is in the mail.

And my heart is SO full. 🩵

I am beyond excited and deeply honored to step onto the Miss Elementary America National Pageant stage in Little Rock, Arkansas, June 26–29, where I will proudly represent the beautiful state of Arkansas as your Miss Diamond State Elementary America 4th Grade.

This opportunity means more to me than I can put into words. Every practice, every lesson, every late night of preparation is building something bigger than a crown, it’s building confidence, character, and courage.

As I prepare for nationals, I am also carrying my heart for Fostering Crowns with me. This platform reminds me that a crown shines brightest when it’s used to serve others. I am so proud to use my voice to support foster children and families, and I can’t wait to continue spreading that mission on a national stage.

I am so incredibly thankful for the family, friends, mentors, and supporters who continue to uplift and encourage me. Your belief in me fuels my confidence and reminds me that I never walk this journey alone.

A very special THANK YOU to the amazing sponsors who supported my ad and registration fees. Your generosity is helping make this dream possible, and I am truly grateful for each of you. I hope to represent you well both on and off the stage.

Now the countdown begins, and I cannot wait to give my whole heart on that stage. Arkansas, let’s go! ❤️

Yesterday was a day I will never forget 🤍

I spent the day stuffing goody bags and then had the honor of visiting two local nursing and rehabilitation centers, with my amazing friend Finley, to hand them out to the residents. Seeing their smiles, hearing their stories, and receiving the biggest hugs reminded me how important it is to make others feel loved and remembered, especially during the holiday season.

Using our voice for good matters. A small act of kindness can mean so much to someone else. The joy, gratitude, and happiness I felt yesterday filled my heart in a way I can’t even explain. We also got to use our voices to sing Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer during the resident activity session!

I am so thankful for the chance to bring smiles and remind others that they are important and never forgotten.

✨ Kindness always wins. ✨

Merry Christmas Eve, I am praying you and your family are able to spend time together over this holiday season and remember to smile at a stranger!

Xoxo,
Piper

✨ Soaking in all the gratitude today ✨

Thankful for this beautiful day spent with my family. Having the privilege of going to multiple homes and being surrounded by so much love, laughter, happiness, and pure joy is something I never want to take for granted.

I am thankful for so many blessings in my life — especially 🕊️ Jesus, my family, my friends, and sweet days like today that remind me how full my heart truly is.

Love shared, memories made, tables gathered around, I will forever be grateful for it.

Wishing you all a very Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃
