May Around The Web

May was filled with lots of mom-ing! Grant and I enjoyed the last bit of Dale’s paternity leave before he had to go back to work, we attempted to settle into a new routine during the day without Dad’s help, we celebrated my FIRST Mother’s Day (complete with lunch at Indian Hills and an Aura Frame from Dale), Grant got to meet my friend Laura when she visited KC, my family celebrated Grace and Sophie’s graduations, and we ended the month with Grant’s first trip to Turkey Hill Memorial Day weekend for Grammy and my Aunt Edna’s birthdays. It’s so crazy that Grant is already 9 weeks old! Around the web I was feeling extra inspired by interiors:

bring on the sunshine!

January Around The Web

January has flown by and I am now 31 weeks pregnant! It was an exciting month with TWO baby showers to help us celebrate and prepare for our new arrival. We also spent a weekend in Wichita celebrating my friend Steph and her baby boy on the way. My friend Macy, who hosted us, is also expecting a little girl in March. It’s going to be an eventful Spring! We wrapped up January with a few family birthday celebrations (a weekend at Turkey Hill for Pop and dinner for Aubrey).

  • Around the web I spotted this bag which has now been added to my wish list as an almost boy mom!

  • Liz’s trip to Harbour Island looked dreamy! And the turtle photos!

  • A lovely sneaker roundup

  • While I just can’t relate to cluttercore, this was an interesting read!

  • Also saving this for our next dinner out! I’ve had such a hard time knowing what mocktail to order while pregnant.

  • The perfect winter Valentine’s Day craft (as usual from Lars)

  • I know I would have LOVED this hidden room as a kid. Maybe someday we can have one!

  • Kelly has been sharing her colorful and moody Palm Springs home. You won’t want to miss a single room but I’m obsessed with the magenta dining room.

  • A recent baby purchase, the Snuggle Me infant lounger that is still on sale!

  • And the finishing touch on the nursery. While this isn’t typical baby decor, I love how it looks in the room and know we could easily move it somewhere else in our home in the future!

Hello, 2023!

October Around The Web

October is coming to a close — we started the month at another wedding celebrating our friends Jon and Emily, our dining room table finally arrived after being restored, I had a few fun happy hours with work friends (Cafe Trio in KC always decorates for Halloween!), we celebrated my sister Sophie’s birthday with Indian food, we attended a baby shower for Dale’s co-workers, went to a Louisburg football game with Laura & Ashton, spent a weekend at Turkey Hill for Oktoberfest, wrapped up Holiday Mart 2021 with a happy hour, had dinner with Brandon &Sonya and Megan & Matt/Mary & Kam around Dale’s birthday, and then headed to Nashville for Dale’s 30th! Looking back we were able to see so many friends and family which made the month fly by!

August Around The Web

Hello, friends! This month I went to the lake with college friends,  attended a wedding, spent a weekend at our family lake house, and went to a Royals game with Dale — the perfect end of summer fun! I'm just beginning to crave Fall, having wrapped up a bunch of projects at work this month it almost feels like back to school. One thing I will miss about Summer is all the flowers — I loved this floral centerpiece inspiration pictured below. Here are a few of my other favorites this month:
