September Around The Web

September was all about weddings! Before all the festivities began we started the month with a Labor Day weekend boating at Turkey Hill and had dinner to celebrate Barbara’s birthday at Lake Winnebago. The next week Grace and I got our nails done before Laura and Ashton’s wedding weekend, Holiday Mart held our Pre-Con meeting, and then Dale and I packed and headed to LA to celebrate Matt and Caitlin. As soon as we were home Holiday Mart move-in and show week began! This month was a whirlwind and had some definite lows as well. Fall has arrived and I’m having a hard time wrapping my brain around the fact that there are just a few months left in 2021. Never have I had to try harder to embrace the season we are in!

  • Kate’s kitchen stopped me in my tracks. It’s so unique and refreshing and has me wanting to include a lot more color and quirk in my home.

  • Julia’s fall table also caught my eye! I love the beautiful florals and how the dishes stick within the same pink palette.

  • Krystal’s styling and photography are always so inspiring. These photos truly feel like Fall.

  • I’m not a huge baker, or chef for that matter, but I would love to try these pumpkin snickerdoodle cookies!

  • Living in a smaller home, I always enjoy others’ tips and tricks for how they best utilize their space, especially in the kitchen.

  • And on the opposite end of the spectrum, penthouse inspiration.

  • It’s soup season!

  • This burgundy color is going to be popular this year I think!

Let’s embrace The Season


November Around The Web

Hello, friends! I hope you were able to celebrate Thanksgiving safely with your families/friends. We ended up having a small outdoor celebration and I’m really grateful we had warm November weather! This month we made the most of some warm weekends with bike rides and dinner outdoors and I actually did a lot of online Christmas shopping. It felt good to get a jumps start – I even put up our decorations before Thanksgiving this year for the first time ever!

Embracing Gratitude Today!


January Around The Web

Hello, friends! This month was filled with much more football than anticipated (Go Chiefs!), dinners with friends (including our second annual trip to Fogo de Chão for KC Restaurant Week), meetings for a new volunteer position I took on, and time with family! At home I spent some more time working on our sunroom and have also started researching/getting estimates for a bathroom remodel. I stumbled across this post from Ashley about redoing her old home’s bathroom and learned a lot!

  • January was also filled with lots of travel planning! I’m headed to Costa Rica in March with my family and loved this recap from John & Sherry.

  • We also booked a trip to Santa Fe in June! More research needs to be done but this got me excited. I also got lots of recommendations from friends from work making the decision to spend our anniversary in NM super easy.

  • Have you tried Rent The Runway Unlimited? Curious to hear thoughts… but love this dress!

  • Really hoping February is filled with more cooking at home. Excited to try this lasagna or kale pesto (notice a theme?)

  • This quote seemed to be floating around Instagram recently and I loved my friend Brittany’s beautiful lettering!

  • Love a good before and after.

Closer to the future, now.
