At Last!



Hello world! My name is Kayla, I'm 26 & youngest of 5. I'm from Salt Lake City, Utah. I moved to Seattle with my Mom and older brother when I was 5, after my parents split. My two older sisters and brother stayed behind with my dad. A few years later we moved back and had gained amazing step parents and couldn't ask for a closer family than we have now. I went to Salt Lake Community College where I got licensed in Cosmetology and currently have my own studio salon in Draper, Utah with my friend Stacie.



I met my husband Jordan in 2007, we dated for 4 years until we married 4 months ago and couldn't be happier. He is my best friend and we laugh every day together. He is a Graphic Designer and just recently started his own design business.



We have a 7 year old Boxer named Beamer, and he is our world. He brings such happiness to our lives in so many ways.... Except for when he gets gassy. :)

I'm learning to become a better seamstress, hate to cook but am learning to love it for the sake of my husband, love to eat spaghetti, love to take pictures but wish I was a lot better at it, love fashion/clothes, played the flute for 6 years (yes I am a band nerd), love to watch football with the hubs, and most importantly, I love filling my time with the people I care about the most.

Hey Folks!


Hey people!  My name is Ellie.  I'm approaching my 30's...which is weird, really really weird...and am a mom to 1 and 1/2 kids (2nd due in Feb).  I must say...I think my kid is the cutest EVER


and I'm so excited to meet my little Mr in just a month and 1/2. 

I'm married to a fantastic man who I tend to drag into projects.  The ones where he gets power tools he does willingly.  The ones that involve paint brushes...not so much.  :) 

Personally...I love to eat.  Not so much cook.  However, now that I don't have a full time day job...I've been doing more of it and actually am quite liking the results.  I love to sew.  Getting better at it.  I am absolutely addicted to Pinterest.  Might have done 5 projects in 1 week.  Christmas presents were all Pinterest inspired this past Christmas.  I am a photographer and I LOVE LOVE LOVE catching those moments that speak to people.  I love all things interior design and love remodeling my 1940's bungalow. 

I moved to Utah when I was 6 and except for a brief spell in Florida and Moscow Russia I've always lived here.  I lived in Salt Lake County until I got married and then we moved to Weber County since my hubby attends Weber State.  When I first moved here, people expressed concern for my safety.  Ogden?  Really?  Um folks...Ogden is the place to be!  I have totally developed a love for Ogden.  Really all of Weber/Morgan/Cache county.  I love finding cool new places and all of the amazing hikes and things to do here.  And I'm so excited to share all of this with you guys. 

Hopefully this blog will become a place where you can find inspiration.  Be it a cool place to visit or a new way to do your hair.  Kayla and I are super excited to share our little place on the web with you.  Feel free to comment...comments are seriously the coolest thing EVER!  Leave us your feedback.  Looking forward to getting to know all of you!
