Happy New Year, loves! I thought about posting last week and yesterday too but decided to wait until January 1st to post my 3 new things! I started this series to better tackle trying new things and to list goals. There’s something quite daunting about making a resolution for an entire year. We all change
Today’s HERE WE GO post is a short interview with Adproval founder, Matthew Anderson! Adproval is an easy way to manage and sell your ad space directly to sponsors you approve. Learn more here: How did Adproval begin? Were you involved in the blogging community beforehand? I have been off and on with my own
Today’s city guide is brought to you by Elena who blogs over at Randomly Happy! It’s no wonder that Rome is such a classic travel destination. It’s got everything you could possibly want in a city – history, beautiful old buildings, amazing food, colourful street life. All squeezed into an incredibly small, walkable area. So where do you start?
December is already here but I wouldn’t know it considering today’s high is 69 degrees. (WHAT?) Honestly if it’s never going to snow here in Ohio then I’m out. I need a cold winter! I’m sure not everyone else agrees with me but I’m totally baffled and bummed by this spring-like weather. Oh well, that’s
In the month of October, I went about town chasing off squirrels and collecting acorns to make acorn flour after reading about it on one of my new favorite food blogs. While going through the process of making acorn flour, I learned a lot about how to make it a painless and even a fun
Just wanted you all to know that I haven’t disappeared! I recently transferred to a new hosting account and I’m unable to upload photos right now and so as soon as I can – I will post week 3’s #capturingLIFE post! I hope you all are having a wonderful week. xo, Allie
Today’s City Guide is brought to you by Caitlin of Arlington, Virginia! Being the smaller city next to arguably the most powerful city in the free world could be like being the dorky kid sister of a high school rock star. And yet everyone knows the kid sister is actually awesome in her own quirky
Here are all the submissions for Week 1 of my #capturingLIFE photo challenge! I loved seeing the variety and how everyone interpreted the concept of capturing life. You can see that some were capturing day-to-day moments and others were more representational. I shot my photo when I was down at Ash Cave this past weekend.
Hello, November. You are too cold right now. I’m feeling a bit better because I see that the forecast is calling for a high 40’s this weekend which is a lot better than low 30’s (when it really feels like 15 degrees!) I’m just being a baby because I was a bit too spoiled in
One of my favorite Columbus residents and fellow designer, Lisa Ragland, is taking us on a tour of our lovely city today. I hope if any of you readers pass through – you’d look me up! Columbus is a wonderful place. Greetings from Columbus, Ohio, capital city, what I like to refer to as the
Last month I posted a “Let’s Talk About You” post and learned SO much about you all. I thought I should do it again and ask YOU questions. Feel free to copy & paste and answer them in the comment section! When you have free time, what do you do? What was the highlight of
In a week I’ll be heading to Indianapolis to speak at The Influence Conference! I can’t believe how time has flown by and now I’m putting the final touches on my presentation. I’ll be addressing the issues of designing for your online space (which can take many forms: your blog, online shop, website, etc) and how to
Today’s city guide is brought to you by Cammie Sorensen! Madison is a wonderfully unique town – in many ways because we are a fusion town – both the capitol of the state, and home to a Big Ten university. We are also situated on an isthmus, which simply refers to the fact that we
I really cannot believe that it’s already October. My goals this month are simple because I’m only at home for 17 of the 31 days. I’ll be speaking Influence in a couple weeks and than taking a tropical week-long vacation with Adam (!!!!!). We’re also be moving this week so my mind is whirling. My three
I hosted a swap party with my friend Halle on Wednesday night at a local bar called Double Happiness. They have the coolest lounge up top, serve great drinks and you can even score some Japanese street food (which was oh.my.gosh delicious). We set everything up in certain areas and let all the ladies browse
One of my 3 new things to try in September was to buy all my produce from farmer’s markets! It’s one of the best new things I’ve decided to do. For the past five years of my life, I would just buy all my produce from the grocery store because it was easier (which isn’t
It looks like today might be one of the last days it will get up close to 80 degrees. I get excited when I look at the forecast and I see mid-60s creeping in on Sunday. While autumn might be on its way…I still have to extend my summer attire into October. Adam and I
Today’s CITY GUIDE is brought to you by Lindsay Mueller! Enjoy! After living in various Brooklyn neighborhoods over the past four years, I can confidently say that Carroll Gardens (and its surrounding neighborhoods) is my favorite. That’s not to imply that the rest of the best borough isn’t totally awesome… it’s just too much to
