Coffee Conversations with a Purple Girl
Good afternoon, friends, I realize I’m writing pretty late today, but I’m still sick and really like sleep, so there you have it. Like everyone else, I’m looking at this new year and thinking about all the stuff I should do or start or try. Having looked back at last year for my year end […]
Today I’m thinking about pictures. Which is not unusual for me, actually. I think about pictures a lot. I just love the idea that you can capture a moment in time in this paused form to show to people years and years later. Today, though, I’m specifically thinking about wedding pictures as a friend of […]
I’m debating on letting my hair grow out. I have spent probably half of my life in this debate. All through high school, and probably even before that, I’ve been in a cycle of long and short hair. I’d let my hair grow for a while and then decide to cut it off for maybe […]
Greetings friends! We just got back from our wedding filled weekend and it was, as expected, much fun and very tiring. I had a lovely time catching up with good friends and admiring two beautiful brides on their big days. They were two very different weddings, but both equally lovely. This is a tale of […]
Hello friends! This weekend starts our most wedding filled weekend of them all! This afternoon we’ll be watching two of my lovely Geneva theater friends tie the knot and tomorrow we’ll be getting up early to see another lovely Geneva theater friend get hitched as well!

It is also inevitable that when you have 24 first cousins alone and you’re somewhere in the middle, you’ll grow up going to weddings, and then […]
Dear Brides, Congratulations! This is probably the most stressful and exciting summer of your life, but at the end of it all, you get to spend your life with the fella you love and that’s awesome! I’m sure you’ve already read all the advice the internet has to give you. You’ve probably looked at hundreds […]
I took my yucca plant outside because it was nearly seventy degrees and sunny. I thought it was a good idea. I was wrong. I forgot to bring her inside when I left on my vacation. Sure it was a little cooler, but not too cold. I’m hoping she’ll recover. I did bring Yvette inside […]
Do you ever have one of those weeks ahead of you where you can’t see any time to rest? That’s what our week looks like. There seems to be something every single day this week and it’s madness. It’s been like this for a long time now, though, so I’m not entirely surprised to find […]
