about me

I'm 28 and live in central Illinois. I've been married to an amazing man for three years. We have a little white dog and just bought our first house! We are also expecting our first child in October. I LOVE design and photography. I'm busy getting my own business up and going. We also do what we can to be a little more eco-friendly.

have a NICE day

Friday, August 22, 2008



Yesterday I came across this blog Operation NICE and had to read through the whole thing. It's always a little disheartening when people are surprised to see the door held for them. I remember a few months ago Josh and I had a cart full of groceries at Meijer. A guy and his son came in line behind us with about six cases of pop. I told the guy to just check out before us. He stared at me in disbelief and I think even said, "Are you sure?".

I try to do something nice everyday but it's easy to get caught up in my own world. Sometimes I don't even see what's going on around me. Or sometimes I see things I could do but chicken out. I still kick myself for the time I didn't help the single dad bag his own groceries.

Check out the blog and maybe we'll all remember to be a little nicer this weekend. I love the idea of leaving little postcards saying nice things around town. Maybe I'll try that out...

It IS so sad that people are surprised when a stranger is nice. Drew and I really do try to go out of our way to help others...even if they are complete strangers...esp. if they are complete strangers.

A few weeks ago, I bought some Civilettes over at Paper Source. They are so cute. Sadly, I haven't been able to give any out yet!!!
