Around Here
Ellie has the prettiest curls. This weekend, the husband and I had an adult evening out with friends. We went to a concert and had dinner at The Rieger. The food was incredible. If you haven’t tried it yet, go immediately.

Around Here
Every morning, this is what Ellie wants to do. She rips nearly every book off the shelf and typically shoves several in my direction. There is something really beautiful about sunflowers with their heads bowed away from the sun.

Around Here
The library near our house has the most adorable playhouse/puppet theater. Someone was pretty enchanted with it. I’m sort of obsessed with my new kicks. I picked these up from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.

Resolutions
New Year’s resolutions have become cliché – high hopes that are meant to be cast aside within a week. For many years, I didn’t believe in resolutions and refused to make any. Almost three years ago, I made one. I decided to “be bold.” 2009 had been a rough year, and I was looking for something new. That little…

New Header Image
You may have noticed my photography skills are not really professional. Based on that knowledge, you probably deduced that I did not take the family photo above. Another clue is that I’m in the picture. Anyway, I wanted to give credit where it’s due. The beautiful image in the header was taken by one of…

Martha, Martha: Stockings
When Keegan and I first moved to Kansas City, I had absolutely no money. So, when Christmas came around, I didn’t have the budget to buy beautiful stockings. I only had the cash to craft ours with cheap stockings, felt and lots of glitter (the cure-all for all crafts gone wrong). This beautiful photo was taken by Megan. Since…
