Hey everyone! We’re back with our 10 Things I’ve Learned series after two weeks off. (Sorry about the delay. We’ve been working on some mega technical changes behind the scenes with this site, but it should be running smoothly now and showing up in your feed. Whew!) But our...
I have officially added something to the list of my favorite things on earth: open windows. The weather has been up and down here since the calendar officially welcomed in Spring. But through those past few weeks, even tonight’s glorious thunderstorm, my windows have remained open. Sometimes cracked, sometimes flung...
Today’s contributor to the 10 Things series is someone whom I’ve never officially met in person, but was introduced to in the coolest way — through the comment section on this blog! That’s right. Over the past year or so, I had begun to notice that some girl named...
Somehow I seem to have surrounded myself in life with friends who are amazing with words. I’m sure you know what I mean. They are those people who always have the perfect encouraging or comforting thing to say when a friend is having a hard time. They are those...
Kind of similar to last week’s post from Janelle, I basically had a friend-crush on Kelly before I ever met her. It began in the church where I used to work (as did Kelly back before my time), where I was captivated by these enormous, colorful, bright paintings that...
I’ve decided to start a new little tradition in my home — Friday flowers. I used to think that I wasn’t one of those girls who loved flowers. But I’ve come to find — especially during the cold and gray days of winter — that I in fact really...
Today I’m happy to introduce you to one of the first friends that I was introduced to when I moved to KC nine years ago — Janelle! Janelle and I met when we were both working down the hall from one another in the basement of a local megachurch. There...
For years, I’ve heard rumors about the True/False Film Festival in Columbia, Missouri. Rumors that it’s hands-down the best curated documentary film festival around. Rumors of epic parades. Rumors of smart and quirky and hilarious events galore. Rumors of a college town and even some of the most unexpected...
Actually the title for today’s post should be 10 Things We’ve Learned, as my good friends Kerry and Nathan are tag-teaming this one. I met these two lovebirds at church maybe five-ish years ago. But I’m still a bit in awe of the fact that they met each other more than a...

Blogging can be a total roller coaster. Sometimes you’re up, sometimes you’re down. Sometimes your traffic spikes and grows, sometimes it plateaus and declines. Sometimes you have tons of new ideas and stories to share, sometimes you have total writer’s block and nothing to say. Sometimes you feel confident,...
It’s no secret that I love my neighbors. For these past two years that I’ve lived in downtown KC, they have made this place feel like no less than home. And one of the people I have most to thank for that is this great girl — Cate. Cate...
