What are you doing this weekend? Tonight I'm headed down to my cousin's wedding and then plan on spending the rest of weekend watching season two of Chef's Table. In the meantime, here are some links from around the Web that I enjoyed this past month. Enjoy the loooonnnnng weekend!
Read MoreHave you heard about Des Moines City Ride? It only started a few weeks ago, but it's already gaining popularity here in the City.
Read MoreA few weeks ago I asked my readers over on my Facebook page who I should interview next. I received a couple of suggestions and one of them was local henna artist, Rayna Gasteiger.
Read MoreAs a kid we were a mere twenty minutes away from the local drive-in theater and we only went once. I still remember the movies that were playing: the Princess Diaries and Pearl Harbor. Obviously, that was a very long time ago. The last couple of years I've written up "to do lists" for the summer and the drive-in has always been high on the list, but somehow I've neglected to go. Until this year!
Read MoreDid you hear? I wrote a guide to Des Moines over on Design*Sponge (which you can read by clicking here.) It was super hard to narrow down all the places I thought were worth visiting, but I ended up putting together a list I feel proud to share. After the jump are a few pictures that didn't make it onto the guide, but that I thought were too good not to show you guys.
Read MoreGarrett's life seems to be like one big adventure after another. A few weeks ago he manned Coachella's official Instagram account and in the past he's worked with brands like Land Rover and Aeropostale on a variety of marketing campaigns.
Read MoreYesterday 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.
