I'm Lisa Kirk, a wife, mama, writer, and founder. Since 2010, Something Pretty has been home to my favorite memories, reflections, and inspirations. Thanks so much for reading!

Usually, I write my blog posts the night before, put finishing touches on them in the morning, and then post them. When my internet went out in my apartment last night, I was all peeved because when I write Love Lists especially, I like to re-look through every wedding blog I read to make sure […]

I’m down to my last week of my hardest summer classes, and as you can probably guess by how much I’ve been complaining (so sorry!), I am really excited for things to calm down a little. I’m also very excited about a few things coming up on Something Pretty, especially a new little twist on […]

I have a great feeling about this upcoming weekend! Between Cinco de Mayo (a super big deal in Texas), and the Kentucky Derby (which I professed my love for here), I’m definitely looking forward to my first weekend of summer. My first year in Austin has exceeded my expectations, and I feel so proud of […]

Is it just me, or has April flown by crazily fast? From Easter to my birthday weekend to meeting Clint Hill, it’s been quite the whirlwind, but also a pretty fantastic month! Next week is my last week of the semester, and even though I’ll be in classes for most of the summer, I’m excited […]
