I am SO excited to share that I recently won an Instagram giveaway from Bunny & Co. Heirloom Portraits! We had a sitting at The Little House and just received these adorable proofs. I can’t wait to see the final prints, we had the hardest time deciding on our favorite. Take a look at her website for information about booking a sitting!
November Around The Web
Hello, friends! I’ve once again gotten behind on my “around the web” series, but am happy to be back this month with a few favorites. Time has flown by since I returned to work from my maternity leave, but we had a lovely November. The month started with a Froends weekend in Nashville (where we also got to spend time with Grace!), I attended two Friendsgiving celebrations (Dale’s co-workers and my college friends), took our family Christmas card photos at the Nelson, Dale took his first set of board exams, and we had a wonderful first Thanksgiving with Grant! Around the web this month I came across these stunning headpieces by Wolf & Moon. I’m currently dreaming up an occasion where I could invest in one in the future, but for now I’m taking in all their beautiful work on their website.
We also had some friends over for dinner this month and made this vegetarian chili
A sparkly follow I discovered on Instagram!
This simple but impactful DIY would be fun to try next Thanksgiving
Loved Grace’s Thanksgiving tablescape, and a peek at her art collection in her dining room!
Curious to watch Tan France’s new show with AD about his home build
This focaccia looks like a fun bread recipe to try this winter
Lastly, a holiday DIY I can’t wait to try with Grant’s handprints!
Extra Grateful this year
Grant’s First Spooky Season
All the holidays are SO much more fun now that Grant is here! I loved dressing up our tiny dino babe and “trick or treating” at Grammy and Pop’s house. Happy Halloween!
Día de Los Muertos Lettering for Hallmark
Loved the opportunity to create this lettering and illustration for Hallmark in honor of Día de Los Muertos. It translates as: A celebration of life and death, a time to honor our loved ones.

Honolulu, Hawaii
In early October Dale and I traveled to Honolulu for his CHEST work conference. We stayed right on Waikiki Beach at the Alohilani Resort! I worked while Dale attended his conference, but we fit in lots of great food, time on the beach and a hike while we were there. This was our first time away from Grant, and we missed him a lot, but we tried to embrace the fun with friends!
My favorite stops for food included Maguro Spot (for Poke), Sunrise Shack (Acai Bowls) and Marugame Udon (the BEST Japanese noodles!). Our hike was the Diamond Head Summit Trail which was through a crater and ended with a view of the coast. Hopefully we will have another trip back to Hawaii someday where we can explore beyond Waikiki, but was was a beautiful quick trip!
Ben & Kirsten’s Wedding
Ben and Kirsten’s wedding was beautiful! One added bonus was an incredible double rainbow that appeared between the ceremony and reception. So grateful for a long weekend in the mountains!
