Our engagement pics are in! And they’re making me all –> ? ? ? ? ?. Truly, Barclay and I love them so much. And, I’ve gotta admit that I especially love them because — as opposed to 95% of our photos up until this point — they’re not selfies! ?...
Happy Friday, guys! Life behind the scenes here has been a little crazy lately between work projects, planning this wedding, renovating a kitchen, and getting ready to move. (I know…what crazy girl decided to do all of these things at once?! ?) BUT, I finally just got around to editing...
Oh my goodness, I’m not even a sentence into this post and already — especially seeing this picture again for the hundredth time — the happiest tears have sprung back to my eyes. Because it’s still sinking in that a week ago, the most extraordinary man I’ve ever met got...
Loving this Instagram account so much. Just ordered a letter board for myself this month too! Wanting to know all of your best recommendations for what to cook with my new Instant-Pot (<- on sale again this week on Amazon!). I’m already feeling like this thing is going to be a life-changer....
Spreading the word about this Kickstarter that launched last week! It’s for our church band’s latest album — Mike Crawford and the Secret Siblings. (Shhh, I’m a secret sibling, and sing on a few tracks.?) My friend, Mike, and the 50+ musicians in our church have been working on this...
For the last year or so, I’ve been “talking the talk” with friends about how we need to do more weekend road trips to nearby cities in the Midwest. Because after having lived in Kansas City nearly a dozen years now, I’ve realized that I’ve hardly spent any time in our fellow...
Loving these new little booties I got this fall so much. And speaking of booties, ’tis the season again for my favorite foot duvets!! If you happen to be in the market, trust me, these are the comfiest slippers ever. I pretty much live in mine all winter long. Having so much...
Hey friends! I’m so excited to (finally!) be sharing with you all today about my trip to France last month, where a little traveling dream of mine came true — Barclay and I got to sail together on a Viking River Cruise!! Like probably many of you, I was first introduced to Viking...
Wishing that I was still back sipping espresso in France, you know, like we were doing in this adorable little cafe near Monet’s water lily garden two weeks ago today. :) Oh my word, the trip was absolutely amazing. And as soon as I sort through the zillions of photos that we snapped...
Counting down the days until Barclay and I leave for PARIS on Friday!!! Oh my goodness, our trip itinerary feels like an absolute dream come true. We’re going to chill in Paris for a few days, then take an 8-day Viking River Cruise from Paris to Normandy, then spend a few easy days in Bordeaux,...
Learning about the world of scotch cocktails (<– never thought about those two words going together!), thanks to my friend, Beth. She recently subscribed to Shaker and Spoon, and decided to host a handful of gatherings last month to share her craft cocktail creations with friends. Such a fun idea, and such yummy...
Celebrating my 2-year friend-iversary with Josefa, my favorite spunky 92-year-old from El Salvador. We were connected through Unbound — an organization that I wholeheartedly recommend checking out — and I was so thankful to receive her latest letter this week reporting that she’s feeling better lately after Unbound connected her with a...
