Sometimes the delay between working on product and seeing it in real life makes the end result a surprise! I am so excited to see my brush lettering featured on these sentiment candles for Hallmark.

Summer Blooms
The most beautiful summer blooms sent to my sister, Grace, after the premiere of her original musical, Lorene’s Reverie! They were so stunning I had to capture a few photos!
Here Comes The Son: Sophie’s Baby Shower!
Last weekend we celebrated the upcoming arrival of Baby Boy Wilson! I am SO excited for Grant to have another boy cousin (so close to his age!) to grow up with. Sophie, you are going to be the most amazing mom, I can’t wait to experience motherhood alongside you. Here are a few of my favorite photos of our sunny celebration at my parents’ home.
Peony Season 2024
My favorite time of year! Once again my peonies are in full bloom and bringing lots of joy.
Grant’s First Birthday!
Our dino-baby turned one on March 24th and we had the most wonderful celebration with family and friends at my parent’s house. Grant loved his cake (after I helped break off a piece for him) and we had perfect weather. I’m so glad I will have these photos to look back on to remember the day!
Around The Web: Q1 2024
While my around the web posts are some of my favorite, this year has really gotten away from me! Going forward I plan to share quarterly, starting this month. Easter is early this year, so I loved getting to pick out Grant’s Easter basket! While he probably will enjoy it more next year, these are special days getting to watch our little guy experience the world – especially each holiday. Soon I will post Grant’s milestones photos/notes and we can’t believe we are already celebrating his first birthday! Here are a few links I wanted to take note of the first few months of the year:
I’m obsessed with the Easter basket we got for Grant this year! It’s no longer available but if it is back for 2025 RUN to Crate&kids!
To start the year here is a fun recap of color trends for 2024 as well as a guide to current fashion micro-trends.
Dale loves Khruangbin and we both enjoyed this animated video!
I have such fond memories of visiting Le Bon Marché on my very first trip to Europe so was excited to see this current installation/shopping experience!
Bookmarking this list for future secondhand shopping!
Unfortunately, Ottobroke one of my beloved bedroom lamps so I’m considering a pair of these to sit on the dresser.
Also on the hunt for some more toy storage in Grant’s room. This bench could be an option!
A few momming articles that caught my eye recently: one on Instagram parenting classes, one about Dr. Becky (I’m reading Good Inside currently!), and the hilarious reality of bringing a new baby home for the first time (at least for us!)
Love following Carly’s family, her boys are the cutest! Would love to get Grant a shamrock sweater for next St. Patrick’s Day!
I would love to check out this local bookstore in KC soon, BLK + BRWN.
Thinking we may need to order these with Grant’s face to keep his dino baby theme going!
And finally two favorite recent recipes: Broccoli Pesto Pasta and Instant Pot Pad Thai
Happy Spring!
