One Little Word 2015: DARE

One Little Word 2015: DARE

Alright, 2015, I think it’s time to shake things up a little. Why? Well, 2014 actually went down in the record books as the year that was shockingly, mercifully, and delightfully stable for me. I know, it feels like I should knock on wood just typing that out, but...

10 Things I’ve Learned: Cynthia

I didn’t have to go far to track down today’s contributor for our 10 Things I’ve Learned series. This cool chick (along with her Spanish husband and Frenchie dog) actually lives just down the hall from me. Actually, she lives in my old loft! Meet my neighbor, Cynthia. Cynthia and I actually...

Currently

Dancing around just a tiny bit (ok a lot) after booking a sweet mid-century house for my month-long stay to Austin this February. My friend Kathryne (from Cookie & Kate) agrees that freezing Kansas City winters aren’t for us. So this year we’re actually doing something about it and packing up our laptops,...

December in Music (3 Playlists!)

Hey everyone! We’re a little late with our December In Music post this month. But to make up for it, my friend Sarah and I teamed up to bring you not just one, or two, but three (free!) Spotify playlists for your holiday listening pleasure. For those of you who love Christmas...

December in Movies

We’re hurtling toward the end of 2014, and you know what that means: All the big, heavy-hitting movies come out! In December, studios try to take advantage of holiday movie-going crowds and enter the Oscar race at the last minute. So that means we’ve got some watching to do....

November In Photos

Gobble gobble! Here’s a glimpse into my November in photos, thankfulness-style. Because while I can roll my eyes with the rest of them at all of the photos white girls post in the fall, I never get tired of thankfulness. The more the merrier during the month of November….and to infinity...

10 Things I’ve Learned: Amanda

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! We’re back today with a new post in our 10 Things I’ve Learned series, and it’s one I have really been looking forward to because it’s from my friend, Amanda. If I had to go all Barbara Walters on you and name the 10 most fascinating people...

November in Music

Hey everyone! Ali here. I’m really excited to be testing out a new feature with you all here today — a monthly music playlist! Music is one of my favorite things in the world, and I have wanting to share more of that with you on the blog. So my...

October In Photos

Good times. Good food. (Psst — that’s my pumpkin pie on a Hallmark card available in stores now!) Good company. Yep, that pretty much sums up my month of October. Actually, that pretty much sums up my favorite things in life. :) I’m a few days late getting this...

10 Things I’ve Learned: Kevin

For the past 8 or so years, I’ve played in the worship band at my church, and love it. Oh man, there are so many reasons why I love it. But in addition to the music and worship and all of that good stuff, one of the things I look forward to most...

10 Things I’ve Learned: Kate

They say that you can’t do life alone. And I would argue that the same absolutely holds true for blogging. Thankfully, I’ve had the chance to become friends — genuine friends — with many incredible bloggers over the past few years who can relate to all of the quirky ins...
