  • Spring Wishlist

    Spring is right around the corner. It might not always feel like it outside, but it is. And, I have big plans for it. It’s always fun doing these seasonal lists, because I pull photos from the previous year. These are some of my favorites. Look at those curls and that smile on Miss E.…

  • Dining Room Inspiration

    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…

  • Lately

    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…

  • Flower Arranging at The Bloom Academy

    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. I mean, off the charts talented. A little less than a year ago, I had attended an event where she gave flower…

  • New Year, New Beginnings

    Every year, I choose a resolution or inspirational word to focus my energy and set goals for the upcoming year. I haven’t talked about it much, but the last year has been hard. For the last few weeks, we have been collectively holding our breath. So, this year, I wanted to pick something that really…

  • Lately

    Ellie’s favorite thing in the entire world is her “baby bear.” Because she enjoys hers so much, she has assigned bears to Keegan and I. We are responsible for having them at all times. If I’m headed out with friends, I am instructed to take Mama Bear with me. So, when my parents were here…

  • Winter Wishlist

    What I’d really like to do this winter is sit on my couch and watch Christmas movies for days on end while wrapped in a fur throw. I have a feeling someone (Ellie) has other plans. So, I expanded my wishlist for the season. (It’s pretty good.) – Drink hot cocoa. – Build a gingerbread…

  • Happy Thanksgiving (Early)

    Photo by Megan of Crazybananas HAPPY THANKSGIVING! Over the next few days, I won’t be here. Instead, I’ll be chasing after this cutie, eating way too many rolls and watching movies with the husband. You know, very important business. P.S. While I’m away, you can catch pictures of Ms. E and our Thanksgiving feast on…

  • Thanksgiving Table Setting

    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.

  • Lately

    We finally had new family photos taken. Megan knocked it out of the park again. I swear for about a month if anyone asked what we’d been up to lately, I’d respond with “The Royals.” And, we went to only one game. Here are the husband and I enjoying one of the coolest things I’ve…
