I can hardly believe February is coming to a close and that we could meet baby boy next month! I began February speaking at KU’s Design Symposium Lecture Series alongside some other talented Hallmarkers, my family got to see Grace perform as Squidward in Spongebob the Musical, I had a great JLKCMO Dinner Club at The Westside Local, Grace was nominated and chosen for Sweetheart Court, I got to see some college friends at Erin’s bridal shower, we hosted a baby shower for my cousin’s wife Kelsea (who is due exactly a week before me), and the Chiefs WON the Super Bowl (again) – all before Valentine’s Day! Dale and I celebrated heart day with our traditional Italian dinner at Lidia’s and then we headed to The Elms for my birthday weekend. It was the perfect mini-babymoon and weekend away! After coming home we had a family birthday dinner at my parents complete with my favorite chocolate ganache cake. The month ended with both of our work baby showers and some final prep on the nursery (as well as a fun Sip & See to meet my friend Heather’s baby, Archer)! Here is what stood out around the web:
AI artwork is everywhere, and not without worthy controversy and discussion. While I haven’t explored for myself, these pieces by Andrés Reisinger caught my eye (alongside many on the internet). I’m so curious to see what the future holds for this technology!
One thing I have craved during pregnancy is cereal, making these popcorn balls a very appealing recipe to test out
It’s always interesting to reflect back on your personal spaces/tastes over time. Kate’s first solo apartment reminded me of our place in STL!
A fun heart day fashion roundup
Bookmarking these matching mother/son outfit combos Carly put together!
Another highlight of the month was discovering this Banana Oatmeal Muffin recipe!
A classic and cool office reveal from Alisa (@aglassofbovino)
And lastly, something to save for a few years down the road (Halloween 2025 perhaps?)
