June Around The Web

June kicked off with Dale and I celebrating our 8 year wedding anniversary! My parents offered to babysit so that we could head to The Campground for drinks followed by a delicious dinner at Novel. That Sunday Grant was baptized and we had a great lunch after to celebrate! The rest of the month included more celebrations for our friend’s daughter Ruthie, Alex turned 30, we spent time with the Chicago Smiths, and saw Grace preform at her aerial show and at The Folly! Grace also turned 19 on the 26th and we had cupcakes at our house the night before her Folly performance. Grant is now three months old (how does time go so fast!) and has grown so much! He’s officially in mostly 3-6 month clothes and is giggling and smiling which is the BEST.

  • I was blown away by how beautiful Mackenzie’s instant hedges turned out! I’ve always admired her beautiful back yard but the hedges really brought it to a whole new level!

  • Like the rest of the internet, I am excited for the Barbie movie

  • An interesting history of the tote, we sure use Grant’s a lot!

  • I’m taking lots of early morning walks with my little guy and need a new hat

  • Bittersweet news from one of my favorite sites, Wit & Delight

  • Adding the ingredients for this recipe to our grocery list

  • Obsessed with this mirror (and little bathroom in general)

  • Bookmarking for future summer date nights

  • I love all blooms and these chairs are no exception. So beautiful!

  • The Magic Merlin is saving our sleep as Grant transitions out of his beloved Ollie!

happy summer!


January Around The Web

January has flown by and I am now 31 weeks pregnant! It was an exciting month with TWO baby showers to help us celebrate and prepare for our new arrival. We also spent a weekend in Wichita celebrating my friend Steph and her baby boy on the way. My friend Macy, who hosted us, is also expecting a little girl in March. It’s going to be an eventful Spring! We wrapped up January with a few family birthday celebrations (a weekend at Turkey Hill for Pop and dinner for Aubrey).

  • Around the web I spotted this bag which has now been added to my wish list as an almost boy mom!

  • Liz’s trip to Harbour Island looked dreamy! And the turtle photos!

  • A lovely sneaker roundup

  • While I just can’t relate to cluttercore, this was an interesting read!

  • Also saving this for our next dinner out! I’ve had such a hard time knowing what mocktail to order while pregnant.

  • The perfect winter Valentine’s Day craft (as usual from Lars)

  • I know I would have LOVED this hidden room as a kid. Maybe someday we can have one!

  • Kelly has been sharing her colorful and moody Palm Springs home. You won’t want to miss a single room but I’m obsessed with the magenta dining room.

  • A recent baby purchase, the Snuggle Me infant lounger that is still on sale!

  • And the finishing touch on the nursery. While this isn’t typical baby decor, I love how it looks in the room and know we could easily move it somewhere else in our home in the future!

Hello, 2023!


February Around The Web

February has come to a close and this month’s highlight was celebrating my 30th Birthday in Breckenridge, Colorado! This month we also went salsa dancing with our friends Sydney and Salvador, Dale and I celebrated Valentine’s Day with dinner at Novel, I went to my first concert since the pandemic began (Kacey Musgraves in Denver!) and preparations for Holiday Mart 2022 continued. Around the web, I am still obsessed with these doily honeycomb hearts from Lars, I would love to make some for next Valentine’s Day!

XOXO
