Yesterday I got off work early and drove down to Tulip Time with some of my family. When my cousins got in my car, one of them looked at me and said, "My mom told me to wear a nice shirt because I might be on your blog." That made me laugh so hard!
Read MoreI have an extensive list of people I want to feature on the site and near the top of this year's list was my friend, Emily Boyd. Somehow between both of our schedules we found time to meet up at La Mie to talk about Emily's involvement in neighborhood revitalization here in Des Moines. Emily's one of the busiest people I know, but also one of the happiest. I think she's found that sweet spot where her deep gladness and the world's deep hunger meet up.
Read MoreIt's almost May! What in the world? I'm not even thirty and time is already flying by. Hope you had a good month, folks. I'm knee-deep in projects, as well as planning an upcoming trip to Tennessee! In the meantime, below are some links I enjoyed this month. See you soon.
Read MoreJodi Whitworth is young, but she's already successful. She's a reporter at WHO-TV (for you locals, that's Channel 13) and has been in that capacity the last two years. It's easy to see why she's found success: she's a good listener, a natural storyteller, and her responses are fast and thoughtful.
After the six o’ clock news finished filming, we proceeded to the sound stage where we sat down to talk about her work as a journalist and who she dreams of interviewing.
Read MoreA couple of years ago, right around Christmastime, I had a few days off from work and was mindlessly scrolling through Facebook. As much as I love social media, it tends to drain me if I'm on for too long. Raise your hand if you understand (I see that hand!)
But Facebook is also fun because you get into that habit of clicking around and magically finding out about something you didn't know anything about prior! On this day that happened: I discovered blogs. Unlike social media, blogs didn't drain me. If anything, I logged off feeling more inspired, which is something we look for online, but rarely end up finding.
Read MoreI stumbled upon Liam illustrations in an article I was reading and thought his work was smart, simple, and savvy. So I reached out to see if he would be interested in sharing about his art and he graciously agreed. We corresponded over email, discussing his career as an illustrator, as well as his thoughts on technology in the modern world.
Read MoreI thought you guys might enjoy seeing how my logo evolved throughout the design process. It changed a lot over a few months. Wanna see what I mean?
Read MoreIt's happened to me many, many things: I meet some cool people, we start hanging out, and somewhere after our third or forth coffee date, they tell me they're moving. Sometimes it's to places like Denver or Chicago and other times, it's one of the coasts. Basically, it's just anywhere but Iowa.
Read MoreFor long stretches of time, I'll forgot that podcasts are even a thing. Between Instagram, VSCO, and Gmail, my phone often has no room for additional apps (unless I want to spend time deleting pictures. Which I've been known to do...) But then I'll hear about a new interview on Fresh Air and I get sucked right back in. There are way too many podcasts to chose from, so below I've listed a few that I've enjoyed. List is after the jump.

Where is this year going? I can't believe it's April next week. This month was good, though. I had a friend visit one morning and I made breakfast (#winningateverything), I took a trip to IKEA for apartment necessities, and now I'm re watching the first season of Fargo.
After the jump are some links I enjoyed this month. See you back here soon!
