Dibs on Libs + Siesta Key Favorites
I guess you could say a few things have happened since the last time I posted. My best friend asked me to marry him. Nigel will no longer be an illegitimate pup. The first question everyone always asks is, “How’d he do it?” To be honest, there wasn’t much fanfare. It was exactly the way […]

Our Wedding
September 1, 2018 was the best day of my life. It’s difficult to articulate how perfect our wedding day was, but let’s just say if something wasn’t perfect, it didn’t matter. It was perfect to us. I highly recommend joining the “plan your wedding in four months” club. It is more than enough time and […]

Happy Things + Watermelon, Mint, Feta Salad
Things that made me happy this week, in no particular order of happiness. The hummus at Chilly Water. They have a few different kinds of hummus on the menu and they’re all good. Each one is named after a Beatles song and comes with a ton of veggies. The Vineyard Vines whale. The new store […]

Bloomington + Chewy Ginger Snaps
Somehow I hit the jackpot and I get to occasionally travel to the home of my alma mater, Indiana University, for work. If you’ve never been, Bloomington is a magical place that no matter how much time passes, it will instantly transport you back to being a college kid. My parents both met at IU […]

Creative Mornings, Indy Chapter
Two weeks ago I attended my first ever Creative Mornings (CM). I had always wanted to attend one of their events, but work seemed to get in the way. Most large cities have a CM chapter and Indy is lucky to have Brittany Mason as the organizer. I first met Brittany through Denver and she does […]

CICF’s Ben Franklin Ambassador Dinner
I was recently asked to be an ambassador for the Ben Franklin funds through the Central Indiana Community Foundation (CICF). Ben Franklin left 1,000 pounds to the people of Boston and another 1,000 pounds to Philadelphia. Each city was required to put this money into a fund to generate interest and support the community over the next […]

NY or bust: Adventures with Kim at SURTEX
I just got back from four days in New York helping one of my best friends pursue her dreams. Is there anything better than witnessing a friend’s hard work pay off? The week included a lot of (overpriced) coffee, pigeons inside the convention center, custom outfits created by Kim, and a lot of laughing (mostly at ourselves). We […]

Denver’s 29th Birthday + Gingerbread Cupcakes
March 31st, 2016. I have been anticipating this day for weeks, yet I didn’t know how hard it would be until today. Her birthday makes it real. I miss her everyday, but I should be with her on this day. We should be at Kilroy’s wearing party hats, eating my chocolate chip cookies, and laughing […]

Kim’s Galentine’s Brunch for the Ladies
Forget Valentine’s Day – it is all about being with your BFFs, enjoying a beverage or three, and eating brunch foods, just like Leslie Knope envisioned. My calligrapher friend, Kim, created a mimosa bar complete with orange juice, green tea, and pink lemonade to add to champagne or sparkling water. She even included berries to […]

Denver Book Club + Red Velvet Cupcakes
One of the best decisions I made last year was to ask my friends if they would be interested in joining a book club, aka an excuse to periodically enjoy good company, good food, and good wine. Denver was an enthusiastic member of this hodge podge group and I am glad so many people were […]
