The With Love Newsletter - March 2025
Hello everyone!!
February came and went so fast! It was a month filled with trips to see family and friends, and it felt like the perfect time to do so, because March is looking busy as far as business goes.
I’ve been absolutely loving this warmer weather, and I hope the spring vibes are here to stay in Iowa. I’m already daydreaming about starting seedlings for my garden box this year!
February Recap:
went on two (??!!) trips — one to St. Petersburg, FL to see family, and one to Steamboat Springs, CO with friends
celebrated Valentine’s Day and Galentine’s Day
worked on two different branding projects in the wedding industry
sent proposals for future branding projects this year!
Rare Disease Day 2025
Friday, February 28th was Rare Disease Day. It’s a day where people with rare diseases come together to spread awareness of our conditions that we live with every day.
Having a rare disease comes with unique struggles, like lack of treatments and research, less connection between patients, and overall uncertainty.
If you are willing and able, please consider making a donation to FARA to support research for FA. Anything helps! Go to curefa.org to make a donation.

Client Highlight: Kalon Bridal Studio
Full circle moment: I am shopping for my wedding dress at Kalon Bridal Studio this month! I couldn’t be more excited, and the fact that I got to be a part of KBS by designing their branding makes it 100x more special. Let’s take a look at their branding, shall we?

Lemon Orzo Soup
We made this for dinner in February and it is such a comforting, filling, and nourishing meal…and it’s easy to make!
The addition of lemon and fresh dill makes it super bright and light tasting.
