chatting with maidsen ward + the mama bear

Last week I had a chance to speak with the up-and-coming musical duo, Madisen Ward and the Mama Bear. I love their sound and admire how it’s a mother and son creating the sound together. You don’t hear that everyday!

pinterest came to town!

Last month I opened my inbox and saw an email from Pinterest. They were interested in connecting to some pinners in Des Moines and I was obviously more than happy to help them.

getaway car shoot

A lot of you are going to ROLL YOUR EYES SO HARD when you realize what this post is about but I don't care. "Getaway Car" is one of the best pop songs of the past few years - it turns any car into a getaway car! - and when my friend and I decided to attend the Reputation Tour stop in Kansas City, I knew I wanted to do something to commemorate it.

Erika Veurink's site is one of my favorite online spaces. Her observations are fresh and she never tries to emulate anyone else. She is who she is and her content reflects that.

encourage yo self!

One of the hardest parts about living alone is that there's no one to talk to when things go wrong. Like, if I have a bad day, there isn't anyone waiting for me back home. It's just me and a random episode of Seinfeld.

Present Over Perfect is one of those books that I read often, but have never actually finished. I always get stuck on a few specific chapters because something in them stirs my soul. Shauna is gifted at giving language to what so many of us sense and feel. In that sense, she's a true artist.

things will be great when you're downtown

Remember the Younker's building that burned down a couple of years ago? Well, they rebuilt it and as of last Thursday night, it's my new home. This new building is called the Wilkins and it's beautiful with large windows, high ceilings, and way too much closet space.

I love it.
