The Olympics are here and I could not be more excited for the next two weeks of nonstop coverage. I will definitely be clocking some serious hours on the couch, crying pretty much the entire time. It is such an incredible thing to watch athletes living out their dreams on the greatest stage in sports. I'm a pretty emotional person, and the entire olympic journey puts me way over the edge. The montage videos of athletes growing up? The entire P&G ad campaign? It's too much. And I love it. 

As a grown adult I have no problem laying on the couch for hours at a time, but based on my limited knowledge of children, I believe the same can't always be said for our smaller counterparts. While we don't have any kids yet, I am so lucky to have five amazing nieces and nephews who inspired this little Winter Olympics project. Print these off, plop the brood down, give them a washable marker or two, and settle in for at least 10 minutes of entertainment. That's how parenting works, right?

I love reflecting on all that has changed over the course of the past 365 days. As I have grown time has begun move a bit more quickly and I find myself requiring more intention to slow down. I have journaled my entire life and find that taking even a few moments a day to express gratitude makes me feel more at peace, especially this time of year. I think this would be a sweet activity to do with children or family — stash it in a drawer and take a peek when we find ourselves on the eve of 2019. Click here to download the PDF.

Linmay is a modern hair studio located in Chicago, Illinois. Lindsay Mayuga came to me with a vision for a fresh and feminine visual identity that would allow her to stand out among competitors while simultaneously conveying a chill, California vibe. Lindsay herself is incredibly talented and sought after by clients, consistently booked, often so much so that she is unable to accept any new clients! The definition of a girl boss, Lindsay owned and ran an incredibly successful salon called The Comb for several years, but recently decided to forge a new path and launch a new venture on her own. I am thrilled with the laid back vibe we landed on and can't wait to watch as Lindsay sets the world on fire! Happy launch week!
