As a business owner, I think one of the biggest hurdles that I struggle with is knowing when to invest in myself.  If something breaks, it’s easy to know that it needs to be repaired or replaced.  But if something isn’t necessarily broken, then we tend to leave well enough alone. So when do you […]

 Photo: Heather Cisler Photography Yesterday was my birthday.  It wasn’t an exciting day, no one sang to me or gave me cake.  It was simply just another day reminding us that life moves forward whether we embrace it or not and no one can escape the aging process. Last month I was sitting with a […]

Hi Friends!!  Did you have a fabulous holiday weekend?  I for one did, however I’d like to chat about this whole traditional thanksgiving feast, who planned this menu?  Where’s the chocolate?  Move over mashed potatoes and stuffing, I could certainly find some more favorable side dishes.  None the less, my weekend included these feasting favorites […]

Sometimes life hands you a few extra blooms (or perhaps I ordered a few extra due to my extreme paranoia about being out of town and extra far from my usual “back-up” plans), but either way, I have some happy looking buds that still have a couple days’ worth of life in them and sadly […]

I’ve been working with Anchor & Ink on a new logo design for a couple months now.  Chelsi oozes talent – her painting, her lettering, it’s all simply fabulous. I approached her because I don’t feel my current logo, and complete branding/business for that matter, truly represent me.  Now I know I’ve rambled on before […]

Oh my stars have I had some excitement happening over here!  The last couple months have simply been amazing — from attending flower workshops to making flowers for Bloom the Workshop — I’m living on a beautiful high!  Plus wedding season officially starts for The Day’s Design TOMORROW!! As an added bonus (as if I […]
