I’m short on time, but I want to share this new project with you all! Nurture’s Song is a new brand and blogsite that I designed for the lovely Katie. Nurture’s Song is all about integrative wellness, which is a concept I can totally get behind. When Katie contacted last summer about this project, I was excited to create a space for her that was warm, welcoming and soothing. She wanted her brand to feel soft and spa-like. We went with subtle colors and textures, and the end result looks something like this. Check it out!

Hello, loves. Happy Monday. Today is a good day. The sun is shining. I am happy. I’m back after a busy weekend, and I’m here to share a few snippets of it.

On Friday, I headed to my alma mater for the annual Senior Design Show. And, lucky me, I got to hang out with my dearest Laura Stewart. For those who are new to the blog, Laura was my design intern last year. We had a lot of fun. We ate a lot of pie. We did headstands. We made a movie. We chatted. Oh, and we designed stuff. Sometimes. We also went kayaking this summer, and have managed to stay in touch throughout the year. Hitting up the design show together was all kinds of nostalgic, because that is where I met Laura one whole year ago. Fun, fun, fun!

Another weekend highlight… On Sunday while hubby was working, I got to hang out with little brother. He grabbed his camera and we drove country roads. We stopped just as the sun was sinking, I threw on some running shoes and we made these…

I know I’m not supposed to be running, but. Whatever. It was only about 20 yards back and forth for an hour or so. NoBigDeal! We had a blast and I sort of felt like an athlete or something. He got portfolio images, I got profile pictures. Win, win.

Okay. Those are two of my weekend highlights. What are yours?

We ate at the Duluth Grill, which was once featured on Diners, Drive-Ins’ and Dives. Let’s just say, there was a lot of MMMmmmmmm-ing, Guy Fieri style.

Especially when the pie showed up.

I almost licked the plate. That good, people. It was that good.

My friends hit the slopes.

Because they are awesome.

Meanwhile, I sat on the couch. And did not whine.

Instead I ate. At least it was healthy.

The temps were sub-zero with the windchill. Hahaha! Too bad for these suckers. These folks are tough.

The most exciting part of the weekend for me (by far) was the two minute ride on the alpine coaster at night. I may or may not have screamed like a little girl.
