Our Home

Being the interior designer for the Messinger Family is a huge job that i don't take lightly. You see the Mr is in the military so we move A LOT and have a lot of white walls to work with. White walls aren't always a bad thing because you can play with lots of colorful accessories and don't have to worry about them matching the wall color.

After many sleepless nights of stressing about our home decor, I finally am starting to feel like our place is complete.

Here are a couple of pictures of my favorite room in our home. Enjoy

Sierra and I love hanging out in this room.

In May we will have lived our place for one year.  Would anyone like a tour of our home on the blog for our one year anniversary of living on Anderson Cirle?

With love,

Evening Walks

Longer and warmer days are reminding us Alaskans that Spring and Summer are just around the corner. Sierra and I are starting to come out of hibernation and walking the neighborhood once again. There is something about the cool fresh air that calms this Type A personality. The ab workout from laughing at all the silly things Sierra does on our walks is just a bonus.
Jen Hammer Photography did a wonderful job capturing our evening walks and Sierra's funny faces. We love them!
With Love,
Mrs Messinger

Beautiful day for a FAM...

A year ago this week I got a job at Visit Anchorage and I will forever be thankful for all of the adventures that this job has provided.  Flight seeing over and around Mt McKinley, creating large donuts out of trash bags and paper, & showing travel agents around this great state are a few of the many memories that I will never forget. 

This past weekend we had a group of travel agents from all over the lower 48 in town so they could see the ceremonial start to the Iditarod. 

Some of the highlights of the first day of our FAM include the Anchorage Museum and a little hike at the Eagle River Nature Center.

The weather on Friday was perfect.  It snowed in the morning and then the sun peaked out in the afternoon.  Lunch at Muse was picture perfect thanks to the huge snow flakes that were falling.
