Win It: Heather Kintner Winner.


Congrats Jen! Sounds like your sister’s bachelorette party is going to be amazing. I’d also like to Heather for doing this giveaway! I’m a big fan of her work and if you haven’t already, stop by her etsy shop and take a look around.

Win It: Natty Michelle.



Natty Michelle has the sweetest hand-painted stationery that’s perfect for any occasion. She’s always adding new designs, full of whimsy and flair, and her passion for art is apparent. They’re the perfect day brighteners to have show up in your mailbox! Natalie’s graciously offered up eight cards to the winner of Win It: Natty Michelle. Winner’s choice! Now if that’s not a sweet start to a Monday, well, then I don’t know what is.

To Enter:
• Tell me whether or not you’ve ever had a pen pal
• Leave a valid email address (Those who fail to will be disqualified.)
• Do it all before Monday, July 6 at noon CST

Best of luck! A winner will be chosen randomly shortly after the contest ends.

Happy Weekend.

The word scorching is an understatement when used to describe the weather we’ve had this week. From my estimation, there wasn’t one day below 100º. In July and August that’s normal, but in June it’s ridiculous! Right now it’s all about the cool indoors. Sad since my fence finally went up last Friday and now my patio furniture has to sit by itself until things cool down. I’m thinking I’ll be back there in, oh, maybe October.

This Weekend:
• K’s birthday Happy Hour
• dinner with the fam
• laundry
• groceries
• touch-up paint on all cabinets and baseboards around the house

NOTE: You only have until Monday at noon CST to enter Win It: Heather Kintner. Take advantage of the low numbers and make her bachelorette invitations and thank you notes yours!

Happy Weekend!

The Daily Eat: Blueberry Napoleon + Blueberry Roundup.

I’m really tempted to make this Blueberry Napoleon with Crème Fraîche and Raspberry Powder for the 4th of July (as there’s sure to be a cookout going somewhere…right?) And raspberry powder? Woah.

3 to See.

Because she always has amazing posts
and she’s also behind Smitten

Because she captures all that’s good in life
and we seem a lot alike

Because the name says it all
