Though it’s only been a mere 3 weeks since our fabulous honeymoon to Antigua, it feels like a lifetime…can you tell we are people that must have beach time? When Jeff and I started researching possible destinations, we made a list of everything we were searching for–relaxing and secluded, private pools, all-inclusive, and individual bungalows. {simple […]

The highlights of this weekend…simple pleasures with great friends, the best family, and endless amounts of food. That’s what Independence Day is all about, right? This was the 1st  low key holiday weekend we’ve had in quite some time and it was so nice to be at home sweet home….alas I feel rested. Here’s a short […]

So with it being the beginning of a new month and passing the 1/2 way mark of 2011, I thought I would start bookmarking small, but attainble goals for each month here on out {or until I get tired of this “new me”}. I think setting goals is important–to keep yourself accountable, but not setting […]

Thoughtless…perhaps, only you can decide:   1. With us deciding to stay at home this weekend and forego the sunny beaches of Seaside with the bestest, her hubby, and family {honestly, what are we thinking?}, Jeff and I have some time to get to work around the house and I am hoping to start and […]

Finally, right? Another wedding recap…I’m hoping I can get through at least one of these a week or until I receive all of my fabulous wedding pictures!! I’m hoping I can swoon my photogs with some baked goodies or something of that nature ;). When I started thinking about OOT gift bags, I knew I wanted something […]

Back at it with last weekend’s updates…yesterday was the “typical Monday” and it was hard to get my butt in gear! I started out at the Social Security Office and DMV to begin the name change process and oh boy, what fun that was. Less painful than imagined, but still not too enjoyable–let’s be honest, […]

We’ve been baking, cooking, and grilling up a storm lately…for one, trying to save some extra change for other forms of entertainment this summer, and because eating in is SO much healthier for you, too! Though these aren’t “nutritious” persay, here are some new summer-worthy treats for holidays and parties, fun nights in, and just because […]

First of all, thanks for all your kinds words about the bridal brunch…I can’t believe it’s already been 2 weeks since we were all together in celebration, but time really does fly when you’re having fun! I received a lot of questions from readers after I posted yesterday so wanted to answer before I forgot: […]

Here it is friends…my very first wedding weekend review. Pardon me for all of the photo-heavy posts to come, though, I wanted to make sure we captured every little bit so that one day I can hopefully accomplish the task of making my own wedding scrapbook to pass on for future generations. Cheesy, I know […]

In the attempts to post about something non-wedding related, and yes, this is going to be a hard one for a bit, I wanted to hop on the train and join in Jamie’s weekly blogging fun to discuss what I’m loving today…here goes nothing: I am loving that my boss is kind enough to let me […]
