Happy Founders Day to all my Delta Gamma sisters! Yesterday I celebrated 139 years of DG sisterhood with these beautiful faces. My favorite part of Founders Day is always looking around the room filled with amazing women of all ages and backgrounds, and realizing that we’re each united together in the bonds of Delta Gamma. Whether […]

Jason had a conference in Colorado week before last and I got to tag along! While he was enduring lectures on Oil & Gas law, I spent two fun days visiting my friend Christian who lives nearby. I finally got to see her new house and the sweet nursery she is decorating for baby Clara. […]

Anyone remember making Cootie Catchers back in your grade school days? You know, the silly game where a folded sheet of notebook paper would predict who you’d marry, where you’d live, and how many kids you’d have? For some reason, I was reminded of them this week and thought it’d be fun to make a […]

There’s something super sweet about handmade valentines. Some of my favorite memories from childhood involve sitting at the kitchen table (covered head to toe with glue and glitter!) making cards for my friends. Ok, let’s be honest…..this scenario still happens at my house today, even as an adult. Every year on Valentine’s Day, my sweetie […]

Last weekend I had the honor of hosting a baby shower for my beautiful friend Christian who is expecting her first little bundle of joy in March! Our friend Bethany, Christian’s mom, and I had so much fun planning the shower for her. We had it at Tea Embassy, a cute tea room in downtown […]

Happy Holidays….. …..From Our Herd to Yours! As you can see, I had a little too much fun designing our Christmas postcard this year. I thought it would be festive to Photoshop reindeer antlers on the dogs and give Oliver a bright red Rudolph nose. Apparently Ollie was not a fan, though! The cards were […]

Wrapping gifts is one of my very favorite things about the holidays (in fact, I’ve mentioned before that one of my dream jobs is to be a professional gift wrapper in the mall during Christmas). I love searching for cute gift wrap and coordinating the ribbons and embellishments to match my holiday decor….in fact, I probably obsess […]

With only 13 shopping days left until Christmas, I thought it might be helpful to share some last-minute gift ideas with those over-worked elves who are still searching for the perfect presents for the good girls and boys on their lists (and, also because my Mom keeps asking). So, hint hint, little elves…. 1. WoodWick […]

I just returned from a long weekend in the mountains with my besties, Bethany and Christian! We try to take an annual girls’ trip together, so this year we met up in Frisco, Colorado, and rented a condo with a beautiful view of the snowy mountains. When we weren’t eating, we explored downtown Breckenridge, drank […]

With Thanksgiving less than a week away, I have two things on my mind: pie and a nice, long nap. Seriously, I can’t even tell you how much I’m looking forward to that after-pie nap! Apparently not much has changed over the years. My family frequently reminds me of the Thanksgiving when I was about […]
