Somehow I blinked and it was almost Labor Day weekend. The inevitable end of summer is upon us, and while it has been a little crazy seeing fall decorations (and Halloween candy?!) on display already, I have to admit that I’m more than ready for my favorite season to arrive. Cooler temperatures (well, sort of), warm drinks […]

Summertime Happenings
It’s hard to believe that we’re only a little more than a month into summer. Maybe it’s the fact that I’m currently editing magazine articles about pumpkins and fall foliage (my favorites). Luckily I need only walk outside for Arizona to remind me of exactly where we are on the calendar. Nothing screams ’tis the season more than cookies […]
A Pinterest-ing Weekend in Chicago
Yep – we did it again. 🙂 To say this has been a busy couple of weeks would be an understatement. I’ve taken on several new freelance projects, and while I’m really enjoying the work, the days are flying by faster than ever. It hasn’t been all work, though. Last weekend I had the chance […]

Same Weekend, One Year Apart
Yesterday our friends Nicole and Lance invited us to hang out on their boat at Canyon Lake. It was our first time on an Arizona lake and actually, our first time on a lake that was not located in the Midwest. Bobby and I both agreed that it was one of the most beautiful places […]
A Mountain Magical Weekend
Late last week, my mom and I had the chance to defend our title at the 2013 Mountain Magic golf tournament! This marks the third consecutive year that we’ve been partners (read 2011 and 2012 recaps here), and it was as fun, exhilarating and exhausting (in a good way) as ever. We arrived at the […]
