When I was growing up, we had the perfect family dog. She was a Golden Retriever and her name was Queenie. I miss her terribly. Queenie was very calm, loving, and protected us girls when we were kids. She was so gentle, and she always did what she was told. My pets are nothing like… Read More The More the Merrier
I freaking love Halloween. It’s my favorite holiday because it combines my two favorite activities: getting dressed up and eating. Every year I look forward to it, but this year I didn’t prepare for it. We went to a party at a friends, and Eric and I showed up without costumes. Apparently, you can’t… Read More Happy Halloween
For all my fellow makeup connoisseurs, I had to share my latest obsession. This Benefit makeup kit, Finding Mr. Bright, has changed my life. It makes me look like I have the pregnant glow without the swollen ankles. Love.
Most of my relationship with Eric has been a fairytale. We met, fell in love, moved in together, got engaged, had a puppy child, and now we are living happily in the chaotic life we built together. There is just one thing… We met on eHarmony. Yep, I’ll admit it. I was desperate. At the… Read More Spontaneous and Adventurous
If I could be anyone in the whole world, I would be this little girl. Sophia Grace, you’re my idol.
So I’m on a skywalk… Truth is, I went to the Greater Des Moines Partnership photo shoot with my boss and when we arrived, they asked me to also participate in the photo shoot. I played the, “Who, me?” card while I was batting my eyes and fluffing my hair, but really I was thinking, “Heck, yeah me!”… Read More Wave When You Drive By
I don’t trust skinny people. If you don’t enjoy eating, then we have nothing in common and most likely can’t be friends. However, I recently bought the Living Social gym membership deal and last night I went to TurboKick class. Apparently, TurboKick is just kickboxing and no turbo. I loved the instructor because she was wonderfully crazy. She lost count,… Read More The Gym
I love me some Rachel Zoe. She is ba-nan-as about fashion and she is completely unapologetic about it. I can’t believe her TV series, The Rachel Zoe Project, has gone on for so long since she dies every episode, but I’m glad it has. Even though she gets a bad rep for being too thin or talking… Read More Rachel Zoe
I wanted to get married in my parent’s house because it’s my favorite place on earth. As I get older, going home just gets better and better. Even though I have my own home now, nothing will ever be better than pulling up my parent’s brick driveway and having the family dog greet me. Some days when everything in… Read More Going Home
I’ve decided to live in all things leopard print this fall and winter. The expensive looking kind. Not the cheap kind that looks like a bunch of coffee beans against sand. I’d walk down the aisle in leopard print, but apparently that’s frowned upon. Now, if I could just get my hands on the Kardashian… Read More Cat Woman
