This year I was lucky enough to get to carve pumpkins with my sister, Grace. Aren’t they fun??
Turkey Hill Blooms
Before heading home from the lake this last weekend I picked this bouquet! Flowers are my favorite and I had the best time chatting with my grandma as we cut these. Enjoy!
Chicago
We spent Dale’s last vacation week of the summer with a quick trip to Chicago to visit family and explore the city. My favorite parts were visiting The Art Institute of Chicago, making clover crowns and bagel breakfasts. I hope you get a chance for a quick summer getaway, too!
Liesel & Sean
My cousin Liesel got married June 1 in Lawrence and I’ve had the best time reliving the weekend through all her photos by the talented Moriah Ruth Photography! It was so special to get to celebrate someone I grew up with (and I was also there the moment she met Sean!). Congrats Mr. & Mrs. Callahan!
Memorial Day Weekend
Hello, friends! My family spent Memorial Day weekend out at the lake and I was thrilled to discover the peony bushes still in bloom. Grace and I had fun taking a few photos, it was the perfect relaxing weekend away.
February Around The Web
This snowy month was full of memories including a trip to Lawrence to recruit for Hallmark Creative interns, lots of Mother’s Day work, a Valentine’s dinner at Avenues, several amazing brunches with friends, a lovely birthday dinner with family at Lidia’s, and after making this list I have realized basically lots of wonderful meals shared with family and friends! I always look forward to February because Valentine’s Day is right before my birthday and it’s definitely a bright spot in my midwest winters. I made lots of discoveries around the web, too! Did you know you can download free high-res prints from Audubon? I think these would be lovely framed! I also learned the State Bird of Missouri is the blue-bird which would definitely match our decor!
Are you as obsessed with How To Train Your Dragon as we are? Dale and I saw the third movie in theaters last weekend!
I’m always on the lookout for new pasta recipes and this one is on the list for March!
Julia’s front porch has me even more excited for gardening this year!
I found this list SUPER relatable.
A good reminder — Dieter Rams’ 10 Principles of Good Design
A few items I received off my wish-list for my birthday this year: this sweater, these dryer balls, & a new stand for all my earrings!
This moody bridal editorial caught my eye this month
A candle DIY on my list to try!
Last, but definitely not least, some bathroom inspiration from The Makerista!
Love you, too.
