Farm Birthday Party – Celebrating one year of Harlow
September 15, 2017
After moving up from the city to the country, getting pregnant with our first country baby and welcoming Harlow into the Fournier Farmhouse, it seemed only natural that we celebrate her first birthday with a farm party.
Although it was hard to accept the fact that she was actually turning one, it did help that we celebrated before her actual birthday, because then I could still live in denial and pretend that we were just planning a fun party.
I am a huge sucker for tiny party details (you know, those little things that no one else notices but take a long time to make?), and I am really happy with how everything came together for this theme. So, I decided it warranted a blog post all of it’s own!
Documenting Harlow’s first year: Project 365
November 13, 2016
Like any new mom, I am in awe each and every day watching this beautiful little girl grow and change. It’s so exciting to see her learning new things, responding to us with smiles, and becoming more aware of the world around her.
Looking back: 2015 in numbers
January 03, 2016
Three cheers for the new year! 2015 was a year of big changes, lots of courage and huge lifestyle adjustments. As you probably know, one of the biggest things for us this year was making the big move to the Fournier Farmhouse. (Read more about why I traded in my 10 minute bike ride for a 2.5 hour commute here.)

The importance of a creative community
October 01, 2015
Whether you’re a graphic designer, scrapbooker, artist, crafter or musician, I believe it is important to immerse yourself in your art to improve and grow within your medium. In my opinion, part of this essential immersion process is becoming a member of a creative community either of your making or by participation in an existing one.
Moving into the next chapter… literally
August 27, 2015
When Will and I decided to buy a house and take the next step together as homeowners, we knew it would come at a cost. That cost would be giving up our beloved apartment that we’ve shared for the past three years.
So we made a cook book…
April 24, 2015
Yes you read that correctly! My super talented husband and I put our heads together to come up with the best DIY bridal shower present for my sister that we could think of and this was it!
An Ode to Grandmothers
April 05, 2015
After recently losing my grandmother last month, I’ve been thinking a lot about the role a grandmother plays in the lives of her grandchildren, the unconditional love grandmothers (and grandfathers) have for their grandchildren, and the special bond that is created between grandmother and granddaughter as she grows from childhood through to adulthood.
25 things I want to do before I turn 25
September 29, 2014
Last week, I celebrated my 24th birthday. It was my champagne birthday (turned 24 on the 24th) and although it’s not a big milestone like a 30th would be, it was still a reminder that the years seem to be passing by quicker with every year. Since there’s only less than one year left until I am a quarter of the century, I thought it would be a good time to make a bucket list of the top 25 things I want to do before I turn 25.
100 Happy Days: Week 13
June 30, 2014
Will and I have been preparing to bring our little puppy home in two weeks, and getting the house ready has made it all seem real. This week was productive on the wedding, puppy, and work fronts, and we are so thrilled to have the opportunity to enjoy a nice long relaxing weekend together.
Saying thanks: The lost art of thank you cards
June 04, 2014
Immediately after getting engaged, Will and I ran out and bought a bridal binder to help us navigate the wedding planning process. As I was flipping through it, I noticed a section dedicated to writing thank you cards, including a number of sample notes written from “the couple” to their “guests.”
100 Happy Days: Week 6
May 13, 2014
May is always a busy time. In my family there are birthdays galore, followed by Mother’s Day, and then even more birthdays. Added on to all of the festivities is the fact that this month, Will and I are entering the 3 month countdown to our wedding, which means some serious crunch time activities are happening!
100 Happy Days: Week 4 (already!)
April 28, 2014
I can’t believe how quickly these #100HappyDays are flying by! I am already at day 27 (as of yesterday), which means I have officially completed just over a quarter of the challenge.
Making pages for other people: Part One
August 08, 2013
Often times I find myself doing pages for other people; whether its my mom, my cousin or the dude sitting on the street corner, it seems like I am always finishing scrapbooks for everyone buy myself.
