What is better than summer in the Pacific Northwest? Not much. A few years ago, I would have told you that Kansas summer sunsets are the best, but I’ll gladly admit when I’m wrong. This summer has been nothing but open water swimming, hikes, grilling on the deck and epic weekend adventuring. We’ll talk more […]

Happy Halloween from SuperCosmo
Just because you needed a dose of cuteness…it’s SuperCosmo to the rescue! This outfit took a few hours to make, but lasted a whopping five minutes. He’s cute, so it’s worth it!
Meet Cosmo
I have wanted a dog for so long. I grew up with dogs, especially bigger dogs that shed a lot and were eager for walks. My best friend growing up was a Golden Retriever named Max. He was an absolute love and set the bar for any dog I would ever own. So imagine my […]
404s are fun, right?
Updates are common and necessary… and something that I’m now paying attention to on this website. Hang tight as some of the formatting and portfolio pieces will change. Until then, feel free to look at our adorable puppy. Isn’t he cute?!
From One Washington to Another – Yet Another Catch up Post
These days have been incredibly busy, and there is a lot to update you on. First, let’s start here, here and here. Have you read those? Good! Now… let’s begin. I knew 2013 would bring a ton of changes, but I didn’t quite know what a wild ride we would have. After a fairytale destination wedding […]
Coming back to the blog…eventually
“You are the most complicated woman of the city” – Joy Williams Yes, yes I am. I’d be happy to walk through all of the reason why I haven’t been more active on the blog in, oh, the last year. However, if I did, it would all sound like excuses and may even fall flat. […]
Catch up
Woah… its been a while, right? As a social media person, you would think I would update my blog at least once a week with relevant information. I mean, you have to keep readers engaged, right? (Although, I admit that I’ve used the past nine months to hide behind Seth Godin’s comment to “not publish unless […]
New Year’s Thoughts
Less than one week into the new year, I realize one very critical lesson: I need thicker skin. I was planning on writing this lengthy blog post about my new year’s resolutions (or the resolution not to have resolutions, but to have goals and aspirations), what new rules I wanted to live life by, and […]
Living the Dream: Kennedy Center Honors
What are the dreams that you had as a little kid? To be an astronaut? President of the U.S.? Mine was to sing in a big venue, specifically the Kennedy Center Honors. Last weekend, that dream came true. Since 1978, the Kennedy Center Honors celebrates the best in lifetime achievement in the arts and culture. […]
Wounds take a while to heal
Sorry to come back to the blogosphere on such a low note, but sometimes you just have to write what is in your heart. My 29th birthday was a little over a week ago. And you know what birthdays mean: reflection time. I was in Albuquerque for work, so I had plenty of alone time […]
Crowdsourcing + Plane Tickets = Vacation Excellence
I went on a mission this summer to understand a little more about responsible crowdsourcing. It started by doing a communications audit for a client. I remember sitting across the table and telling them that I could find valuable information about their marketshare by leveraging social media and online resources. Their response? “Really? Do you […]
Time to Unplug
Hello. My name is Amy Liz and I needed a vacation. And, we’re not talking just a “Hey, let’s go to Ocean City for the weekend.” We’re talking a vacation that uses my passport. So, D and I went to Costa Rica for a week. We spent weeks planning on where to go in the […]
