Amber Interiors via Domino Magazine When it comes to our home’s decor, I’m always working on something. My most recent “project” is a space I thought was mostly done, but now, am rethinking – our dining room. We recently got rid of a hutch that never quite fit the bill. I’ve been looking for a…

Ellie is in a constant state of dress-up. This was a rare moment without her bear heat. She’s holding “Baby” and modeling her new Sofia dress. I have been getting back into reading again. I love to do it, but when things get hectic, it’s the first thing to go….Funny, I always have time for…

This past weekend I was lucky enough to attend The Bloom Academy’s first workshop. Emily hosted the event. If you’re unfamiliar with her work, she is a seriously gifted florist in Kansas City.

When I was a little girl, setting the table was my job. I took great pride in creating something really beautiful and would often spend hours working on getting it just right.
