Thanksgiving Inspiration
August Around The Web
Summer is already coming to a close! This month we spent lots of time with friends, celebrated my dad’s birthday, finally had dinner at Novel, and I traveled to Salt Lake/Park City for a bachelorette weekend. Here are a few of my favorite finds from around the web:
This mauve marble caught my eye, I discovered Ulla Johnson’s home through Coco Kelley
I would love to have my very own greenhouse!
My favorite recipe we tried recently, I added in some tomatoes we picked out at our lake house
I’m always on the hunt for new plants for our house!
And a beautiful propagation planter system
It’s always interesting to see what design trends people are talking about

Julia’s home was featured in Southern Living!
Hello, Fall!
July Around The Web
Hello, friends! I’ve been a bit quiet on the blog this month, July was full of lots of work, time at the lake/pool, a trip to the blueberry patch, and several trips to Family Tree (the best place to get plants in KC!). Here are a few of my favorite finds around the web:
Oh Joy! released a pillow collection! Still trying to decide which one I need most, I especially love the lettering ones.
Continually amazed by Lars Paper Flowers, take a look at these foxgloves!
I’ve been contemplating wallpaper in a few spots in our house, and while we don’t have kids I still loved this roundup
An interesting article I read this month
A Tattly design that’s making me want to get back into embroidery, as well as this DIY from Think.Make.Share.!
An idea for raised gardens beds, I could totally see us adding these to our yard next summer!
A craft that reminds me of all the crafts I did with beads as kid!
An LA party that makes me want to hop on a plane and head for the coast
Is anyone else fascinated by peeks into other people’s schedules? Loved reading Ty Haney’s work diary.
Enjoy these summer days, friends!
December Around The Web
Hello, friends! December is always a whirlwind and this month I was extra grateful to be able to spend so much time with family and friends. We celebrated my mom’s birthday, I went to a gingerbread decorating party, went to several other holiday parties (including one with Dale’s co-workers, an ornament exchange with college friends and the Jingle Ball), and ended the month with all our traditional Christmas festivities. I also love all the holiday inspiration around the web this time of year. While some of these finds will have to be put on hold until next year they are just as lovely!
First up, this adorable A-Frame DIY. Definitely on the list to make for next Christmas!
Also, these cookies.
One of my favorite Christmas presents I received. Our kitty Otto has been extra ornery lately, only fair to warn visitors.
Hoping to make this recipe with the pecans I received this season from my mother-in-law.
My all-time favorite pants in a new pattern.
Already re-labeled all my spices with this handy label maker!
Loved this article, Dale and I watch Love Actually every Christmas Eve Eve when we exchange our gifts.
Just what I need to head into the new year.
Maybe Miami needs to be on my travel wish list for 2019?
This recipe is one of my new favorites, easy and healthy.
Happy Holidays!
November Around The Web
Hi, friends! I took last week off from the blog to enjoy Thanksgiving with my family. I love all the traditions during this season, and we were lucky that Dale had the day off on Thursday so he could join in all our festivities too! This month I hosted a baby shower for one of my best friends from college, celebrated Friendsgiving twice, and started decorating out house for Christmas for the first time. At work I’ve been busy working on Christmas product for next year, so my holiday spirit is in full swing! This was a also a big shopping month for me as I started buying presents, and a few things for myself as well. This Blue Clay face mask from Herbivore has by far been my favorite beauty find the month:
Next year I would love to make a wreath or swag for my door during November. I love this swag for inspiration!
Grace’s Cat Lady Gift Guide has been one of my favorites so far
We have family in Chicago so I am bookmarking this guide for our next visit!

Last, but definitely not least, we have started a few updates on our kitchen! I just ordered this sink and faucet, so a full recap after we finish is coming (hopefully) soon!
