Patchwork Floral Midi Dress
I have a serious weakness for any kind of vintagey floral print. This dress has the cutest floral prints, bright summery colors, and darling details like tassel ties at the shoulders. I also love the flowy silhouette that will be perfect for my growing bump this summer! You can definitely size down with this dress due to the very forgiving cut (plus the straps are adjustable too!). Shop all my outfit details using the links above + below!
Creative Collective Mentor + Mix
We had the most magical evening at our Creative Collective mentor + mix event sharing all about "Business Basics." The Barn at Springhouse was the perfect venue for this event and I love how we were able to set up the small group sessions around palette tables throughout the barn and beautiful surrounding grounds. We had a lot of returning attendees from our first event and some new faces as well! Huge thanks to the venue and vendors, The Barn at Springhouse, Amendment 21 Event Bartending, Zachary Brady Designs, Kara Shepherd, Joe Dean Hinkle, and Crank & Boom Craft Ice Cream! Be sure to scroll through all our photos from the event below (all photos by On a Whim Photography).
Summer Bruschetta Two Ways
This is one of my favorite easy recipes to whip up for a summer meal or appetizer! There are so many possibilities for summer bruschetta, but these are definitely two of my favorite ways to make it for the season. I use a whipped goat cheese base for both recipes and it's the perfect mild, slightly tangy spread to compliment both sweet + savory bruschetta. I love all the bright + beautiful colors and textures in this recipe as well- so perfect for summer! You can find the full list of ingredients and easy step-by-step instructions below- enjoy!
Better in the Bluegrass + The Kentucky State Parks Culinary Trail
It wasn't an ordinary Wednesday afternoon for me, last week I got to take a day trip down to Lake Cumberland State Park for a lunch previewing the new Better in the Bluegrass Culinary Tourism Initiative with the Kentucky Department of Tourism and Kentucky State Parks. The afternoon was warm and sunny, and the state park was the perfect setting with amazing views of Lake Cumberland from every angle! The purpose of the event was to kick-off the new Kentucky State Parks Culinary Trail (more on how to participate in that below), taste some of the amazing signature dishes that had been thoughtfully planned and prepared to represent each region of Kentucky, and overall just promote the impressive and ever-evolving food scene we have here in Kentucky.

We're Having a Baby!
Surprise! The secret it officially out that Alex and I will be expecting our first baby later this year around Thanksgiving. We are so excited and a little surprised too! This definitely wasn't something we sat down and planned but we couldn't be happier nonetheless. Let's be honest, with how busy we are, we never would have felt like "it was time," but God knew that and we trust that HIS timing is perfect.
