I'm not sure if it's because I'm in "nesting mode" in anticipation of Baby Palm or because it's finally 75 and sunny in Kansas City, but these days I'm for all things spring. In fact, I'm writing this on our back patio with my feet up listening to music and watching the neighborhood kids ride [...]

House Building: The Final Look
The house we spent nearly 10 months building is finally complete. We moved in at the end of September, and it's been a whirlwind unpacking, organizing and just settling into our new place.

Home Wasn’t Built in a Day
We're starting to get into the part of the new house that I really enjoy - design! We met last week to start picking finishes for the interior of the home. Eric and I have very different styles, but it's been fun finding out what combined style speaks to us both. Below are inspiration photos [...]
