Oops!  Did I promise no more wedding posts?  My bad. I realized after I posted the last one that I had forgotten about the centerpieces. They were a personal project – and nearly cost me my sanity – the week leading up to the wedding. This is the trunk of my mom’s van after 5 trips to 3 different grocery stores…with over 60 pieces of produce.    Are you thoroughly confused yet?  How about another piece to the puzzle… If you’re asking yourself “are those red bell peppers in there?” you’d be right.   Because I lost… Read more >

It’s been almost a full month now since Kyle and I tied the knot.  Wow.  Time flies when you’re…starting a new life.  If you missed the first part of the big day, you can read about it here. Now let’s see, where was I…oh right…about to walk down the aisle.

I’m no stranger to Zevia.  They hooked me up with their goods in the past, and now they are willing to do the same for YOU, my loyal readers.  My personal fave is Dr. Zevia, which takes my taste buds back to my college days nights of DDP fueled all-nighters.  While coffee provided (and still provides)… Read more >

On August 28th, 2010, I went from a Ms. to a Mrs.  It was the best day of my life.  I wish I could share each and every moment with you all.  Hell, I wish I could relive the entire weekend myself (it went by so fast!).  There were so many intimate moments that weren’t captured on film that I will have to imprint in my mind forever.  There were several times that I had to stop and remind myself that THIS. WAS. IT. This was the moment I had been planning for the past… Read more >
