It would appear that this nephew of mine is enjoying keeping us all is suspense until the last minute. His due date is Sunday (thank goodness the Bears aren’t in the Super Bowl or there would have been ISSUES) but I want to see his little angel face now. And know his name. And buy [...]
Months of planning, hours spent booking/reserving/confirming and all the stress will shortly seem like nothing because I am finally on my way to Europe today. I can’t believe it! I’ve got almost three weeks ahead of me and an itinerary that includes Budapest, Vienna, Prague, Berlin and Amsterdam. I get to travel with my mom [...]
I love blogging. I really do. But, at times, it can be a bit discouraging. Because the fact of the matter is that, as much as I’d love to, I don’t live in a world of infinite budgets, non-stop beauty and constant flawless design. But no matter what my life consists of outside the blogosphere [...]
I’m sneaking out of town a bit early this week for a quick weekend visit to Iowa. It’s Iowa State University’s annual VEISHEA celebration so I’m going to make an appearance one last time (I just can’t let the college days so, I guess). I just hope for two things. First, that I make it [...]
A couple of my favorite girlfriends are heading my way from out of town right now and I couldn’t be more thrilled. Our agenda for the weekend is wide open and I think that’s how we plan to keep it. Spontaneity is good. Plus we’ve got tons to catch up on from families to jobs [...]
I’m heading to the city this evening for a work event so I’m keeping it brief. Enjoy this beautiful wedding full of charming details. It will keep you occupied. P.S. That venue has me weak in the knees. Source: Style Me Pretty
These two homes on desire to inspire (home 1 and 2) got me thinking about new takes on taxidermy.

It’s no secret, Martha Stewart has her stuff together. And by ‘stuff’ I am mostly referring to these Marshmallow Cookie Sandwiches. It’s been a little sunny and warm around here for this type of melty snack, but I’m saving this recipe for a rainy day. I’ll bookmark it as my Rainy Day S’mores. I think [...]
Happy Fourth of July! Can you believe it’s already the holiday weekend? Summer is zooming by, as usual. Hate how that happens… But let’s focus on the good, I am having the best time up in the Land of 10,000 Lakes and have some stellar links for your Sunday enjoyment. I hope these can hold [...]
