Around The Web: Q1 2024

March 31, 2024

While my around the web posts are some of my favorite, this year has really gotten away from me! Going forward I plan to share quarterly, starting this month. Easter is early this year, so I loved getting to pick out Grant’s Easter basket! While he probably will enjoy it more next year, these are special days getting to watch our little guy experience the world – especially each holiday. Soon I will post Grant’s milestones photos/notes and we can’t believe we are already celebrating his first birthday! Here are a few links I wanted to take note of the first few months of the year:

I’m obsessed with the Easter basket we got for Grant this year! It’s no longer available but if it is back for 2025 RUN to Crate&kids!
To start the year here is a fun recap of color trends for 2024 as well as a guide to current fashion micro-trends.
Dale loves Khruangbin and we both enjoyed this animated video!
I have such fond memories of visiting Le Bon Marché on my very first trip to Europe so was excited to see this current installation/shopping experience!
Bookmarking this list for future secondhand shopping!
Otto unfortunately broke one of my beloved bedroom lamps so I’m considering a pair of these to sit on the dresser.
Also on the hunt for some more toy storage in Grant’s room. This bench could be an option!
A few momming articles that caught my eye recently: one on Instagram parenting classes, one about Dr. Becky (I’m reading Good Inside currently!), and the hilarious reality of bringing a new baby home for the first time (at least for us!)
Love following Carly’s family, her boys are the cutest! Would love to get Grant a shamrock sweater for next St. Patrick’s Day!
I would love to check out this local bookstore in KC soon, BLK + BRWN.
Thinking we may need to order these with Grant’s face to keep his dino baby theme going!
And finally two favorite recent recipes: Broccoli Pesto Pasta and Instant Pot Pad Thai
Happy Spring!

November Around The Web

November 30, 2021

November is all about family and the kickoff to the holiday season and this year was no exception! We started the month celebrating our friends Sydney and Salvador’s marriage, followed the next weekend with a quick trip to Houston to celebrate Rajab and Shaza, I saw Grace preform in The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, Holiday Mart transition meetings took place, I got my Covid-19 booster and we celebrated Thanksgiving with both our families!

My Thanksgiving contribution is always my great-grandma’s Cranberry Jello, but these rolls look amazing! Maybe for next year?
A fun DIY: upholstered frames
Beautiful Fall floral inspiration
Perfect pattern mixing table-scape by Julia
A new-to-me designer, Marianne Houtari
Succulent pumpkins perfect for Thanksgiving
Seasonal advertising that caught my eye!
Excited for this new scripted Podcast!

Grateful for you!

April Around The Web

April 29, 2021

Spring is in full bloom around here as we head into May! April has been a busy month: I got to attend my sister Grace’s Spring Show for Drill Team, we celebrated Easter with both Dale and I’s families, we spent a week in Santa Fe, I’m fully vaccinated (maybe the most exciting!!). Wedding prep is in full swing as well with Sophie’s shower invitations mailed and her wedding invitations should arrive from the printer soon. My friend Megan and I hosted a baby shower for our friend Mary, and we spent some time at Turkey Hill with our friends Brandon and Sonya! Life is starting to feel a bit more normal and I’m really looking forward to celebrating lots of things later this Spring.

Letters Are Lovely | April Around The Web

Obsessed with this bedroom reveal!
Elsie also shared her girls’ adorable shared bedroom! I love the custom toy chests!
I didn’t do a full recap of our last day in Santa Fe but we visited both Meow Wolf and The Museum of International Folk Art! Both were amazing, must-sees in Santa Fe. We also had a great last dinner at Maria’s!
We also visited the Georgia O’Keeffe museum right after I read this article. Divine timing!
I’ve done a bit of Spring cleaning but know I will do more. This is a great article to reference.
Such cute pearl sneakers!
Always all about the blooms.
Cyla is one of my recent favorite lettering artists to follow on Instagram!
Dreaming of these built in beds for our lake house someday…
I’ve really loved my recent Ilia Beauty order. If you are a clean beauty fan check them out!

And I can’t end the month without acknowledging that this month wasn’t without its share of hardships. I firmly stand with the Asian American community and am glad to see accountability for the murder of George Floyd. There is still work to be done.
