Welcome Lovelies!  This blog is about defining “lovely” in our hectic lives and taking time the smell the roses.  We provide two fresh perspectives on life and everything therein.  Our path to happiness, love and family has taken us all across the nation and we haven’t slowed down a bit.  We currently live in two of the hippest cities, San Francisco and Seattle.

Founders & Editors of Defining Lovely:

Missy
I am a mommy to a beautiful baby girl and married to one of the kindest and most driven guys you will ever find.  Prior to having our baby my profession was in architecture.  Now that I am a Stay At Home Mom I am embracing this new role and learning as I go.  Things I find absolutely lovely are making food, but especially eating it, designing, crafting and on the top of the list is my little family.

Krystal
I’m a Southern California girl currently living in beautiful (albeit rainy) Seattle with my husband, Nick and my dog, Miles. We have been here for the past four years and prior to that, we lived in Chicago where I met my dear friend and compatriot, Missy. Needless to say, we have been slowly working our way around the country and loving our experiences. The things I find most lovely are usually associated with family, friends, travel, art, events, design, books, and food. My background is in art history and museum studies but my day-to-day job is in packaging manufacturing and distribution. On the side, I enjoy a little event planning so as you can tell, I’m all over the place and am still searching for my ultimate passion. Perhaps it will be found here!
