2022. The Year of the Dawgs.

Hello and Happy New Year.

We were off to a rocky start because we all got Covid at Christmas, but I think we are finally on the mend. I got really mad migraines that lasted about two weeks, but I am starting to feel like myself again - thank goodness. If you happen to get the headaches, I recommend taking Advil and Tylenol at the same time, but of course seek actual medical advice!

I wanted to give a shout out to my Sister-in-Law Laura Beacham for throwing an amazing Christmas Eve celebration that included two scavenger hunts AND a birthday cake for Jesus! It was absolutely incredible.

Season 3 of the Penny Lane Podcast launched last week, and I’m so proud of this episode with Al Hill, the Co-Chief Financial Officer of Rose Hill Accusation Corporation. He graduated from Westminster, and we went to the IPO of $ROSEU on NASDAQ in October.

We also have a new sponsor for Season 3, Last Bottle Wines. My friend Lucy recommended them to me, and I truly love the company, the selection of wines they offer, and the discounted prices!

If you would like to purchase a bottle of wine, you can use code PENNY for 10% off your order, good for a one time use, valid until March 11, 2022.

My most recent commission!

I’m so in love with it!

This person is a scammer and isn’t me!!! Please don’t give them any money or anything! I have reported them!

I am dropping a new collection of paintings on January 19th. Click the photos above and make sure you are following me on Instagram for more information.

I’m so incredibly proud of my DAWGS for winning the National Championship. I spent the majority of the game hiding under a blanket, but I’m so relieved we could pull it off in the end!!! GO DAWGS.

“Located on Iceland’s southern coast near the remote seafront village of Vík í Mýrda, dramatic basalt stacks and a black sand beach frame the landscape of Reynisfjara, where the waves are known for their volatility and unpredictability.”

It’s supposed to snow tomorrow! Have fun and stay safe!

My best friend Lindley is having a baby! Last Sunday we gathered to shower her with love and gifts.

We hosted the shower in my house, and I kind of insisted on that because it’s how I show my love. I’m not great at verbally telling people how much I love them, and I’m no good at gifts, but if you need an act of service I’m knocking down your door. It was really such an honor to have everyone over and celebrate the life of my new nephew who should be arriving in February. You’re going to be such a good mom Lindley, and I’m so happy to watch as you become one. If you ever need someone to come help you at 3 am, you know 100% I’m already on the way.

The morning after the shower Quinn didn’t have school, so we spent the a quiet and rainy Monday morning lounging in the aftermath of a party. I always love hosting a party because it’s the only time my house is clean enough for me to notice all the quiet precious details that make it a home.

My favorite holiday gifts are books, and these are some of my favorites this year.

“Winter sunset atop the dunes of the Western Desert; the best view to enjoy a pot of traditional Berber tea. Thirty miles east of the Libyan border, this geographically isolated location of Egypt has maintained the ability to protect a unique society that stands distinctly apart from the mainstream Egyptian culture, the roaming North African Egyptian Berbers.”
