(tying into yesterday’s post, I got chills reading “Denver artist Courtney Khail” since I’ve been so used to hearing “Atlanta artist.” It’s the little things people.) Hey everybody! Just wanted to share something that made me super excited (like, do a happy dance kind of excited)- my paintings are featured over on 5280.com! (5280 is [...]
How we spend most of the summer. Please take extra note of the super attractive knee brace I’m rocking. Yesterday was my mom’s birthday (Happy Birthday, Mom!) and after talking to her on the phone, J. and I sat down to have breakfast before going on a hike. About two bites into my bacon, J. [...]
The beginning of this past weekend was jam packed. Between a slightly last minute yard sale (which wonderfully also turned into a “meet the neighbors” party) lunches and dinners with friends, and just the normal stuff we needed to get done, every day felt extremely full. But the good kind of full. The kind where [...]
Well this makes it official. John Krasinski and I are destined to be friends. Why you ask? Because I love to lip sync and Boyz II Men’s I’ll Make Love to You may be one of my favorite all time songs ever. Happy Friday everyone- you’re welcome. P.S. This is what happens when it gets [...]
A little over a week ago J and I ran off to Florida for some much needed warmth and relaxation. (More importantly, it was his grandmother’s 88th birthday and we really felt we should be there for it.) It was wonderful to unplug, listen to the waves crash against the sand, indulge in multiple slices [...]
Wednesday the guide was for the traveler, yesterday it was the gardener, but today’s guide is for the mom who always has hors d’oeuvres set out when you visit, mails you clippings of her favorite chicken recipes, and gifted you your very first Le Creuset. 1. Punch up the fun factor in her kitchen with [...]
Mother’s Day is just around the corner so I thought I’d put together a few gift guides based around three different paintings I’ve created. Yesterday was for the traveler, and today it’s for the mom who always has fresh rosemary, sends you photos of her first blooms, and goes to the nursery so often they [...]
Mother’s Day is just around the corner so I thought I’d put together a few gift guides based around three different paintings I’ve created. Up first is a guide for the woman who loves exploring, never says no to a trip, and knows her frequent flier number by heart. 1. A watercolor featuring one of [...]
Just some pretty ranunculus blooms (plus some greenery from the backyard) I put together for our housewarming party last week. Aren’t the colors amazing?
As I’m typing this, I’m watching the clouds roll in for what’s predicted to be a “really big snow storm.” Come on Mother Nature. I love snow just as much as the next person, but ski season is officially over (as of this past weekend) and therefore you must go away too. It’s time for [...]
