I’m waking up on my cousin’s {distant cousin but still} dairy farm in Kansas this morning! Craft weekend with Meg was amazing–it fed my soul! Today we are packing up, hitting a couple thrift stores and flying home. I can’t wait to squeeze my boys.

Chrissie and I explored Kansas City, Missouri and stumbled on an awesome vintage shop called Urban Mining. So many treasures–including this vintage bicycle. My favorite part is the red handlebars. So sweet.

How about some hellos for a brand new week?

Hello Monday!

Hello friends! I got back from Snap last night and I am moving slow this morning!

Last week I grabbed some craft supplies at Michael’s. I’m there at least once a week since there is one right by our workshop. We {Alex our marketing supervisor} and I decided to snap a few quick pics because the polka dot jeans are fun–but the aqua belt is unexpected. And I love adding something unexpected into an outfit.

I’ve got pics from Snap to share this week, a fun DIY and another outfit post. How about some hellos for a brand new Monday?

Hello color! Hello pattern! Bright shades are making me happy. I’m longing for warmer weather.

Hello seeing friends {and making new friends!} I think the connections I’ve made over the years at Blissdom is my favorite part of the conference.
