Hello, hello. Things have been crazy around here. As you may know, I started my own marketing consulting business in 2012. I work with small, business-to-business companies who are based in Kansas City. Since I began, my work has changed a lot – how I get new business, the types of projects I take, etc….
I love a good face mask. However, it’s not something I make much time for. I don’t typically wash off my make-up, until I’m ready for bed, and at that point in the night, the thought of staying up another 15-20 minutes is usually too exhausting. Overnight masks have always worked best for me, because,…
While we’re still far from swimsuit season, we are nearing the time to register kids for summer camps. As a work from home mom, I spent last year taking Ellie to a variety of programs across Kansas City. She had a blast, and after some trial and error, I think I’ve figured out what will…
It’s the most wonderful time of year when the air is cold and your lips feel like sandpaper. Well, I’ve found a way to solve half of your problems. I had heard of the Sara Happ Lip Slip before, but decided to give it a try after the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. They offered a set…
Technically, you could read these anytime, but if you live in the Midwest, you may be looking for an indoor activity this week. Lord knows, we probably will be.

So, all that to stay, this is the first week I’m really focusing on resolutions, goals and intentions for the year. Every…
Jewelry can be inexpensive way to switch up your look. Over the last several months, I’ve added some new pieces that I adore. They’re from Machete, Mejuri and Uncommon James – all brands I follow on Instagram. Here’s what to look for from each. Mejuri I picked up a necklace with a zodiac pendant from Mejuri…
I have a history with romesco sauce. Smoky and complex, I love the flavor combinations of roasted red peppers, smoked paprika, garlic and vinegar. If you haven’t had it before, I can’t recommend it enough. It’s guaranteed to up your basic, weeknight chicken by a thousand percent. As Ellie would say, “for real life.” So,…
I made this pear, goat cheese and pistachio crostini for Thanksgiving this year, but according to an old friend, I served something like this for a book club many, many years ago. I’m so glad she reminded me about the combination, because it is delicious, and I had completely forgotten about it. (which sadly happens all…
