Midwest Manor
I like to do things from scratch. And my lifelong dream of purchasing a house and making it over from the bones came to life this year. See my progress and get to know the charming town of Weston, Missouri where I found my farmhouse.

For me, cooking is meditation. I spend hours lost in my kitchen, imagining new recipes. With 15 years in the restaurant business, four restaurants, and millions of satisfied bellies, I’ll bring you some of my favorite recipes from The Mixx, Caffetteria, and my home.
Florals
Creating unique flower arrangements has always been my second love. It’s easy to take something ordinary, like wildflowers from your yard, and make someone’s day (even if it’s your own).
Entertain
Small details make a big impression. Whether it’s a lazy Sunday picnic with the family or a full four-course meal for a special occasion. Creating thoughtful (and easy) moments to surprise and delight your guests is the best part of entertaining.
Cocktails
I love a beer as much as the next girl, but pairing flavors like lavender and blackberry with a clean and crisp vodka has a WOW factor you can’t ignore. Creative cocktails can add a theme to your event or make a night in more special.
Styling
To me, creating a modern look means melding high and low style. You visit garage sales for one-on-a-kind items and set them on your Restoration Hardware coffee table. It’s unexpected, but put together. It’s styled but not too fussy.
