[gallery link="file" order="DESC" columns="5" include="1014"] Hello friends! Well I'm back from Atlanta. I went there this past weekend to participate in Country Living Magazine "Pitch Your Product." I got in a little late friday night…er early saturday morning around 1:45 am to Atlanta. Saturday I practiced my pitch (we only had a limited time to pitch) and of course went shopping! I went to all the places we don't have in Iowa: Anthropologie, Madewell, Zara, and H&M. We do have a JCrew but since I didn't have my sidekicks with me I was free to roam and try things on,...

Hello friends! I'm headed out of town this weekend leaving the mr with the girls…he'll do great- he always does things with them like taking great day hikes, football games, outside fun, and overall good times with Dad, can't wait to hear of their adventures!

I'm also hoping to work in a pedicure- whew these toes need some sassy color for fall! I'll have a bunch of photos and recap of the...

I'm headed to Atlanta this weekend for a cool possibility– if things pan out I'll give you the update in a bit (sorry to be so cryptic!) so this is one thing that I'll be taking along. I'm really diggin' the message, who doesn't want The Sweet Life? What do you think?  

Well this week on Saturday I'll turn 35, can you believe it? I still feel pretty young and continue to have that attitude so hopefully I'll stay looking a little young! Anyway I had a few thoughts about turning "middle age:" • you stay young by acting young at heart (don't get too stuffy!) • who knew that I'd be running a letterpress biz, have done a stint as an assistant professor (5 years), and have such a beautiful family, sweet/cool friends = I'm truly blessed! • keep on traveling, you never know when you're gonna be done so you...
