We made it to the East Coast! While we’re putting the finishing touches on settling into the new city, I wanted to share this photo from one of the last things we did in the Midwest – a visit to the pumpkin patch! It was right in the middle of all the moving mania, and Ryan and I drove to Illinois to visit my mother. It ended up being the perfect relaxing break. Have you been to the pumpkin patch yet?

I had such a good time in California’s wine country this weekend for Alice.com’s sponsorship of Mighty Summit (Summit photos coming soon). I haven’t traveled alone in some time and was quite nervous. But I found that once I got off the roller coaster that is California’s highway 101, I gained some confidence in doing it all by myself.
It was so restfully quiet during the weekend as well… particularly along the Russian river and in the Armstrong Redwood State Reserve where my footsteps sounded like fireworks on the forest floor.
Won’t you take a walk through the redwoods with me?

On Friday, there were numerous severe weather watches and it had been raining all day. Ryan and I ordered in and just as our food arrived, we saw a rainbow. There were actually two of them!

Pumpernickel and onion pretzel sticks and tomato basil cheese curds. Hmmm… cheese curds.

Ryan and I went to Illinois for a couple days this weekend to visit my Mom and Uncle. We also went to Allerton, a park I used to go to when I was little and my mom went to when she was little before me.
All around the estate are statues: some amusing, some intimidating, some majestic. And it occurs to me as I look through the pictures of our trip that Allerton is probably where I first started to appreciate art.

The photo above is of the two greatest games ever: Skip-Bo and Rummy. Unfortunately, the photo is missing Yahtzee. Each of which I always win at.

Ryan and I went to a winery last weekend and they told us that some of the past owners had lived in this cave while they made improvements. Good thing they had something to drink.

This was Ryan’s birthday present from last Saturday. I’m normally not very good at picking out presents, but I think I did pretty good this time…

And by friends, I mean books. Okay, people too. My friend Grace Boyle featured my books in her fabulous inspiration series.

One of the many brainstorms for the art above my couch.
The key to hanging art is to measure 58 inches (gallery eye-level) from the floor to the center of the art. With arrangements, first lay all the pieces out on the floor and rearrange until you like what you see. Then measure 58 inches from the floor to the center of the entire grouping.

I went to the ocean recently and this was what I brought back, save for one twisty-turny shell that I gave away.
