NOTE: I put this entry together before I headed off to WPPI but, with the events of last week, didn’t get around to sharing it when I intended to. A few standing features coming down the pipe late this month, but given February’s circumstances, I’m giving myself a free pass on all matters where the...

Remembering my grandmother
This has most definitely been one of the most difficult weeks of my life, one filled with extreme highs and lows of the kind that make me feel as though I’ve lived not seven days, but seven years. I flew out last Sunday to my first-ever WPPI, celebrating my 29th birthday with dear friends in...

#71) Read a classic novel
In the world of books, I can think of a few titles that have ALWAYS been daunting to me. Two of which—War and Peace and Anna Karenina—share the same author. I have no idea why I chose as hectic a month as this has been to finally decide to get...
Ten on Tuesday
1. Any vacations you are looking forward to this summer?
Hmmm..well, I think I might be second shooting a wedding this summer some place warm (Florida!); Nick and I are hoping to get some boating action in on a little get-away to see U2 in Michigan in June (blogged about that here); I want to take a...
Michelle Obama, me and that H&M polka dot dress
It all started with a Tweet. Last week, I’d seen First Lady Michelle Obama making the morning talk show rounds in an adorable polka dot dress. As of late, I’ve been obsessed with polka dots and had been wanting to add some to my wardrobe. When I found out that the stylish Ms. Obama had...

About six months after I came back in 2009 from attending Melissa Jill’s MJ 2 Day Workshop (an experience I blogged about here), I had someone email me the following:
I just recently discovered your blog and I think it’s great! I started from the beginning of your archives to present. I...
Practicing his dance moves
It’s been an interesting couple of weeks in the Werner household. And much of it has to do with Nick’s involvement with an upcoming dance competition. Yes. I said DANCE COMPETITION.
When Nick came to me at the start of the year to explain that Ivy, a co-worker and friend of his from the newspaper, was...
The great life…
I was waiting for my latte at Starbuck’s, flipping through a book they had on display, and came across the pages that became the inspiration for this. Happy Valentine’s Day, Nickolas.
XOXO, G

#94) Create a Tumblr account
If you took a look at my inbox, you’d see that I e-mail myself. A lot. With subject lines that start with “Dont’ forget this link” or “You should post that to Twitter sometime”. You think I’m joking, right? But sadly, I’m a dork who’s totally not.
A few months back, I...

STYLE BLOGS
When it comes to fashion, I’ve always just been someone who scans blogs. Looks for trends. And then, quite honestly, is too intimidated to try any of them. When I do shop, I tend to do so impulsively. Buying something because it’s on sale. Then, getting home, only to realize, “Huh…I’ve got nothing else...
