Nursery Decor

Hello, 2023! In just a few short months we will welcome Baby Smith and I’ve been working hard to get the nursery all setup. A lot of these items aren’t available any longer, but I’m so happy with how it all is coming together. The Rifle Paper Co. rug is definitely the star of the show!

Back-to-School (Nine to Five Style)

Hello, friends! Here is my second annual "Back-to-School" wish list as a working adult. This year my littlest sister is headed to middle school (!) and I am trying my best to enjoy some of the same back-to-school excitement she is feeling even thought I am just headed to work per usual. Here are a few things I would love this Fall:

February Around The Web

Hello, friends! February has just flown by. Between a busy season at work, Valentine's Day, my birthday, and time spent in Kansas City this month was full of time spent with family and friends. This month was also full of quite a lot of online inspiration. My absolute favorite was We Are Scout's interview with Liz Payne about her Liz Payne x Gorman collaboration. The patterns and details in her collection are stunning. Maybe they ship to the US?? Here are a few other links that caught my attention: 

Until next month, enjoy! 

October Around The Web

October has been an inspirational month for me. I have started a super exciting project at work, and I have tried to embrace the beautiful fall weather before we head into winter here in the midwest. One of my favorite discoveries this month was Andy J. Miller's Creative Pep Talk Podcast. I have only listened to one episode so far, but I can tell this is going to be one of my new favorite podcasts (although it is really only new to me). Here are a few of my other favorite finds this October:

  • I once had a layover in Iceland on my way home from London, and have always regretted not stopping for a night or two. Elise's (A Beautiful Mess) pictures really have me hoping someday I will get the chance! 

  • It's never too early to start thinking about Christmas (especially when you work for Hallmark), and I love these ornaments by Ampersand Design Studio available at The Land of Nod.

  • National Cat Day was this week and I am obsessed with these. 

  • I love this guide to pumpkin varieties.

  • If you haven't read/listened to/heard of Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert it is a must read for anyone who thinks of themselves as creative or wants to bring more creativity into their life. I listened via Audible and loved it so much I am now the proud owner of a hard copy. 

  • These cards are beautiful!

  • Also this book is beautiful, much like everything else from Rifle Paper Co. 

  • There has been a ton of awesome Halloween inspiration on the Think.Make.Share. blog this month. Here is my favorite. 

Happy Halloween!
