Last, but definitely not least, I’m thrilled to share these beautiful wedding ornaments for 2023! Artist Azusa Omara did the final artwork that brought to life my wedding cake concept sketch and I was the main artist behind the gold wedding frame. I can’t wait to gift these to a few friends getting married this year! (And you can read my Keepsakes bio in the last image!)

2022 is coming to a close and what a year it has been! This December was filled with time spent celebrating with family and friends, and I’m so grateful to be wrapping up my second trimester of pregnancy. We started the month with a whirlwind weekend at the return of Krikindl Markt at church, celebrating Macy’s baby girl in Wichita, and a few days in Savannah for work. Dale and I attended two holiday parties for his work and I celebrated the holidays with the Junior League of Kansas City Missouri, Fund Development council and hosted an ornament exchange for my Chi O friends. Our family took a trip to Lawrence for my aunt’s annual Vespers concert and Dale and I had a wonderful dinner at Basil Leaf with Grammy Pop. Then we headed into all the traditional Christmas festivities with our families.
On December 23rd I made spritz cookies with my mom and Grace for our annual Christmas Eve party, but next year I would love to add in these gingerbread ones as well!
I’m thinking that next year I want decorate our tree with something special so I’m saving this roundup for inspiration. Maybe I’ll add an orange garland, too?
Loved these beautiful paper angels from Lars
And this classic holiday home decor. Someday I would love to have a staircase to decorate!
Dale and I LOVED season two of White Lotus and this was an interesting read about about the filming and location in Italy
I don’t think 2023 will be a year of travel for us, but bookmarking just in case!
A good review of my favorite skincare line, Biossance
And the easiest, best appetizer I served at my ornament exchange

On July 9, 2022 we celebrated the marriage of Hannah (my cousin) and Lucas! It was a beautiful backyard Kansas wedding complete with sunflower bouquets. My sister, Sophie, was a bridesmaid, I was the guest book attendant, and then Grace performed at the ceremony and reception. I’m so grateful we had our family together for this very special weekend! Congrats Mr. & Mrs. Phillips!
After an amazing arrival party on Tuesday and a day by the pool Wednesday, we headed to Simi and Sandeep’s Sangeet in one of the hotel ballrooms! It was a beautiful night filled with stunning outfits, great food and lots of dancing!
Laura and Ashton had the most beautiful wedding day and I’m so grateful to have these photos to look back on! From the flowers, to the dress, to the perfect fall palette — Laura did an amazing job with every detail of the planning.
