This past October, my best friend got married! Lindy and I met in eighth grade. This is going to sound nerdy, but we met because we were in the same bagpipe band. (Fun fact, I play the bagpipes… I know I’m super cool!) We went to high school and college together. There were many sleepovers, […]

Honesty time…I went looking for this blog post today and realized that I didn’t post it!  I don’t know how, since I was/am so excited about the publication of Alex & Rachel’s wedding in KC Weddings Magazine!  You can see the full post on this wedding day HERE, and the web version of this feature […]

Oh man, do I love coffee.  I don’t think this business would run very well, if at all, if I didn’t have coffee to fuel me.  Also, fun fact, I worked at a coffee company for a couple of years and so I’m also a bit of a coffee snob.  That person that will almost […]
