A few months into 2022 and I have finally exported my One Second Everyday video from last year! I love how these capture lots of everyday moments (alongside the highlights, too). Enjoy!
Megan’s Baby Shower
Last weekend Mary and I hosted a baby shower for our friend Megan who will soon be welcoming a little girl! We can’t wait to meet Harper Ann!
January Around The Web
Hello 2022! My new year started with a quick family road trip to Decatur, Illinois. After that the rest of the month was filled with Holiday Mart 2022 planning meetings, a weekend trip to Denver to visit Laura & Ashton, and the month ended hosting Megan’s baby shower and celebrating my grandpa’s birthday. I also started a rotation at work in Hallmark’s Trends Studio this month! I’m not super into horoscopes but I did enjoy this one for the year ahead from Wit & Delight:
I’m already dreaming of a warm getaway later this year. I love Julia’s resort-wear roundup, such a great Spring palette!
This inspired me to consider some fun black and white check towels for our bathroom!

Hello, 2022!
December Around The Web
We kicked off December celebrating my mom’s birthday at the Overland Park Arboretum Luminary Walk! The week after I hosted my annual Chi O ornament exchange at my house and then attended a Junior League holiday party. I was extremely grateful to end the month spending Christmas with my family after testing positive for Covid in the middle of the month. Around the web I was super inspired by the home of designer Martin Brudnizki featured in Architectural Digest:
Bookmarking this fun kids ornament inspiration for the future!
I’m not much of a baker, but maybe next year I’ll attempt a Yule Log?
Some post-Christmas snowflake making could be a good January activity

Thanksgiving 2021
A few family photos from Thanksgiving this year. Grateful to be able to celebrate with our families in person (inside!) this year.
Fall Leaves
I had my doubts but this Fall has ended up with beautiful, very colorful leaves! Dale and I have enjoyed a lot of walks around the neighborhood, especially on nice weather days.
