My sisters and I commissioned the lovely Allison McEldowney to illustrate our childhood kitties, Annabelle & Bonnie, for our mom as birthday/Christmas gifts. They are the perfect way to keep their memories alive – we will treasure them forever!
November Around The Web
Hello, friends! I hope you were able to celebrate Thanksgiving safely with your families/friends. We ended up having a small outdoor celebration and I’m really grateful we had warm November weather! This month we made the most of some warm weekends with bike rides and dinner outdoors and I actually did a lot of online Christmas shopping. It felt good to get a jumps start – I even put up our decorations before Thanksgiving this year for the first time ever!
I am waiting for my new iPhone to arrive and would love to get one of these phone cases with Jamie’s photography!
Have you interviewed your parents or grandparents about their lives?
We tried these Brussels sprouts and this soup this month. Both were delicious!
Adding these documentaries to my list!
I’ve also been reading a lot lately! Looking forward to reading some of these as they come out.
I’m always fascinated by families who downsize or choose to live in smaller homes. Some great tips even for our home!
Daydreaming about a big European trip… someday!
Grateful we will soon see the first female Vice President inaugurated (and Joe Biden of course!).
Embracing Gratitude Today!

September Around The Web
Hello, friends! Fall is upon us and September is already coming to a close. The most exciting part of the month was our trip to Colorado but we also enjoyed our new backyard projector to watch movies with friends, celebrated Dale’s mom’s birthday, and watched my sister’s puppy Kaldi during her engagement photos! Here are a few of my favorite finds around the web this month:
Not only does Krystal always take beautiful photos, I can’t wait to dive into some of her documentary recommendations!

Really fun seeing this living room transformation
Great tips to reduce waste
Have you ever bought antiques from an auction?
Considering purchasing these after watching The Home Edit’s new Netflix show!

Some fun Fall outfit inspiration!

Hello, Fall!
Dream Big Day Mural for Children’s Mercy Hospital
Last week I had the opportunity to help bring to life this mural illustrated by Matt Kessler for Children’s Mercy Hospital’s Dream Big Day! I was honored to get to contribute the lettering for the mural and loved getting to safely spend time with co-workers painting. This couldn’t have happened without Meredith Tan’s leadership, as well as lots of Hallmark volunteers. The panels are displayed at Crown Center if you are in the area!
