Things We've Been Making

Thanksgiving Turkeys. All you need - brown lunch bags, construction paper, glue, googly eyes (optional).    New York Cheesecake. The recipe I use is perfection (but be sure to use this homemade graham cracker crust instead).   A New Business. Tim just finished our website: InnovateNext. It's a web design and social media marketing company […]

20 things to love about Tucson, Arizona

After traveling 20,000 miles and being in 30 states, Tim & I surprised ourselves by falling more in love with Arizona. We expected to go on our cross-country adventure and find Dreamtown, USA. To move away with a gentle good-bye. In reality, we experienced overwhelming gratitude for our hometown: Tucson, AZ. Here are 20 things […]

Last Year; This Year

October 31st, 2010.   October 31st, 2011.   Same costumes. Same little girls. And yet - they're changed too. A year makes QUITE a difference.

What event are you planning?

Back in my pre-baby career days, I also planned (or was a pivotal part of planning) many events...from small faculty orientations […]

Back in the West

 It was a huge sigh of relief to enter the west coast. After traveling almost 20,000 miles around the country, I admit: this is home. The rebellious west with her mountains and trees, her flip-flops and cowboy hats, her dry summer nights and expansive skies. We're currently parked in Camano Island, Washington and we hope to […]
