I am almost certain I’ve been living in a time warp.  The days are flying by so quickly, I can’t seem to keep up on life, much less this journal.  There so many events that I want to share, so much to talk about and in the blink of an eye, I’m posting content that’s […]

Photography: Katie Grace Photography & Videography I usually love Christmas. I’m a bit obsessed. Sparkly trees, twinkling lights, snow, presents, dinner parties… yes to it all! But the last couple of years I haven’t really “felt” it. I feel like adulthood has officially checked in and the wonder is gone. It’s December 3rd and I […]

I was not going to do a year end post, I mean, do people even read these?  I don’t think it’s an original idea and I’m not sure that there’s a single person out there that truly cares what my year looked like.  But earlier this week I was going through some goals, figuring out […]

Well my extremely talents friends are at it again, this past September they brought Bloom the Workshop back to West Michigan and once again I got to be a part.  (You can read all about the first edition here.)  I’m not going to share all the gorgeous workshop details or the behind the scenes but rather […]

We just sold our huge dining room set.  It was a solid maple Ethan Allen table which easily expanded to seat 10 people, along with a huge matching hutch.  It was pretty – but it wasn’t right for me.  It was so nice that I was scared to touch it and would panic every time […]

Its peony season here in West Michigan.  It’s also time for me to prepare for my small part in  Bloom the Workshop.  How lucky could I possibly be that fate would bring these two happy occasions together in the same week!? I have one sad little peony bush in my back yard.  She’s slow to […]

One morning I woke up to a completely out of the blue email from dear Ashley, of Ashley Slater Photography.  She wanted to work with me sometime.  Me?  Yes, me!  A friendship quickly blossomed between the two of us as we realized our similar interests – weddings, Disney movies, babies and God – it was […]

As if life isn’t busy enough on its own, this week I’ve been dealing with a sick baby and then of course I found myself battling the bug a day later.  On the bright side, I did get to cancel my appointment to have my wisdom teeth removed… silver lining, right? Do you feel like […]
