Check out this baby bump… mama’s timer is about to ding! They have been waiting a long time for their little Lilly to arrive. We love seeing their excitement, showing us her cute nursery and her fabulous wardrobe. She’ll be super fancy, fo-sho! We can’t wait to meet her.

We were thrilled when Nick and Wendy Guehne of Guehne-Made contacted us for a photo-spread featuring their gorgeous home remodel in the special color issue of Kansas City Home and Garden Magazine (KCH&G). While our typical photo commissions consist of photographing people we were totally up for the job. Yes it’s true, we may have been hanging out of windows trying to get just the right angles (picture that, ha!), it honestly didn’t feel like work at all. We had such a good time with Wendy and Nick. They were so hospitable giving us yummy treats and refreshing glasses of wine. Can’t every photo shoot be like that?
Okay so enough about that – let’s talk about their home. It’s ah-mazing folks. To say these two are a talented duo is such an understatement. Guehne-Made designs have a very distinct and discerning style that is all about being unique. You can’t help but walk into their pre-1900s farmhouse and feel taken in by every little detail. The ceiling alone we could just lay and stare at it. The incredible wood work and elements of design are like art that is all beautifully pulled together in such perfect balance. Please pop on over to the Guehne-Made blog to get a photo tour of the home from our afternoon with Wendy and Nick. To see the online issues of KCH&G visit here.
Well, Wendy and Nick… we’re ever so happy we could be a small part of making that dream come true!

Okay, so our super duper cute friend Jessica was in town from sunny San Diego. We (well, Carrie) planned a fun day for us ladies to take the train to Hermann to tour wineries. As any normal beautiful blonde would do, she waited until the day before to book the tickets. Good thing one of us figured out that the train didn’t come back until the next day! Smooth Carebear. We then had to come up with plan B and off to Weston for a good ole taste of Northern “Missour-a” wine. Well, let’s just say we were happy we had a delightful breakfast at Succotash (thanks to Sofa’s suggestion) before we headed out of town. The wine in this Midwest country is nothing like California has to offer. Sorry Jess. Needless to say, we had fun anyway. Having such awesome friends is a gift. We love you all.

Howdy folks! Here are some highlights from my San Fran trip last fall. We (my MIL and SIL) decided that a girl’s weekend was long overdue!! Seeing as our dear friend Traci (aka Tracer) had moved to the bay area two years ago, we decided it was a must to get our act together and get on a plane. Sweet Carol (the one with the crazy glasses) is from Mississippi, ya’ll. She is a super-duper fun friend that met up in Cali for the good times. Let me tell you, we had some f-u-n! Hanging at Traci’s rad pad, wine tasting in Napa, the Muir Woods and our afternoon in Sausalito – Yeah, it was just what these broads needed! Hope to see you all again soon.
