Rock Chalk Prospect Place

Since our new roommate, Margaret, moved in last week, Prospect Place has been undergoing all sorts of facelifts. Yes, we may actually be on the road to adulthood furnishings! Among them a fabulous new sectional couch (bidding farewell to our much-detested loveseats), several fresh pieces of shelving, and perhaps my favorite: the chalkboard. 
The moulding on our walls lends itself for a nice frame to create an effortless chalkboard. With a $15 can of special paint, we were able to turn one panel into a giant, fun, evolving work of art in under an hour. I love that I can practice lettering. So many possibilities — games, messages, dinner party menus, quotes, or fun reminders. I want to paint my life a chalkboard (not really, but it’s that fun).

Daycation 2012

Several weeks ago I made my annual visit to Ohio with my mom + sister Heidi, to see my sister Kacy + husband Matt. This year was really special because it was our first visit to Ohio since Scout was born last September. Eleven-month-old Scout brought so much joy to our visit, which I look forward to anyway for good R+R. Thanks to Kacy + Matt, and to little Scout, who I cannot imagine loving more!
