Spring is here! I had the best time using a #My5Days to take photos of all the blooms. I’m hoping to do some lettering over one of the photos soon!
Daffodil Days
A sunshine-y daffodil photo from late last month. Enjoy!
March Around The Web
Hello, everyone! I hope you are well, what a strange and sad month March turned out to be! We were lucky to safely make it back from Costa Rica and shortly after that Kansas City went into social distancing full swing. I don’t know what April will bring but I do know that I’m thinking of everyone affected by Covid-19, especially New York City. And as a wife of a doctor I’m really proud of all the amazing health care workers. I especially loved seeing rainbows in Brooklyn as shared by Joanna of Cup of Jo – the three story rainbow window display by Linsey Laidlaw and her kids takes the cake!
Not only is Hallmark giving away 2 million cards to help us all stay connected, but you can download free coloring pages over on Think.Make.Share.!
Being home so much I’m in the mood to DIY! Not sure I have all the materials but I would love to make my own scrunchies.
Another quarantine activity on my list: a flower drawing challenge!
I’m also hoping to start reading more. Loved this book roundup and Carly’s friends’ favorite picks!
If you are feeling up to some Spring cleaning this is a great list (only if you are like me and cleaning usually helps me relax!)
You know I adore pasta, so therefore this guide
One thing I’m really missing is visiting Family Tree Nursery with friends. Might have to start propagating my plants, which might require these beautiful vessels!
And if I get really bored I might get around to cleaning my brass.
Pura Vida, Friends

January Around The Web
Hello, friends! This month was filled with much more football than anticipated (Go Chiefs!), dinners with friends (including our second annual trip to Fogo de Chão for KC Restaurant Week), meetings for a new volunteer position I took on, and time with family! At home I spent some more time working on our sunroom and have also started researching/getting estimates for a bathroom remodel. I stumbled across this post from Ashley about redoing her old home’s bathroom and learned a lot!
January was also filled with lots of travel planning! I’m headed to Costa Rica in March with my family and loved this recap from John & Sherry.
We also booked a trip to Santa Fe in June! More research needs to be done but this got me excited. I also got lots of recommendations from friends from work making the decision to spend our anniversary in NM super easy.
Have you tried Rent The Runway Unlimited? Curious to hear thoughts… but love this dress!
Really hoping February is filled with more cooking at home. Excited to try this lasagna or kale pesto (notice a theme?)
This quote seemed to be floating around Instagram recently and I loved my friend Brittany’s beautiful lettering!
Love a good before and after.
Closer to the future, now.
Sunroom Inspiration Round Two
At the end of 2019 I finally got my wallpaper hung in the sunroom off our bedroom! Way back in August of 2018 I shared my initial ideas for the space, but a couple things have evolved since then. The bookshelf featured in that post (which is no longer available) looks great and below are a few new additions that are arriving soon. The chair below is similar in color to one I found at a thrift shop ( just to give a better idea of the palette of the room) and I’m hoping in a couple months I will be able to share the entire finished space. Here’s hoping 2020 is full of finishing touches within a couple areas of our home!
