The Liebster Award? That doesn’t quite sound like a dish with a recipe now does it? This post won’t be filled with words and photos that leave you hungry and making a bee line to the kitchen, but it will be overflowing with inspiration and appreciation for the ever growing blogging community and I’m loving that just as much. The Liebster Award is a Continue reading
To say this summer has flown by may just be the understatement of the year! It’s been an eventful season for our family for many good reasons and a few less than good ones too. I’m going to write about the best reasons and keep praying for the less fortunate ones. Remember the kate spade baby shower? My adorable little niece was born a month and a half later on June 17th! My husband and I spent many hours at the hospital anxiously awaiting her arrival, but by Continue reading
When I married my husband, I gained a lot of wonderful family members who made me feel like family long before it became official. In that mix is two wonderful sisters. One (Tiffany) already has children, the cutest little boy and girl, and the second one (Danielle) is now a mommy to be who is Continue reading
My best friend’s bridal shower is this weekend and I’m so looking forward to celebrating with her! In addition to ‘saying yes to the dress’ and receiving your first RSVP to the wedding, this is another milestone that makes the whole experience begin to feel “really real”. If you’ve been a bride, you understand that phrase! The bridal shower is a wonderful event where you get to Continue reading
I almost didn’t write this post thinking I should skip ahead to a better one instead of posting stationary consisting mostly of family stories and little of actual ideas or recipes. You know, something my readers would be ‘more interested in’. What? Hit the brakes…fast!! I would love to see this blog become successful over the years, but I never want to reach that goal by straying away from my initial intent and passion that fuels each post. Then I realized some of you may still find a cute idea or tradition to adopt from our simple holiday. Tip of the day? Always Continue reading
Well…we’ve arrived back home from what seemed to be a one day vacation though we were gone for five. It’s quite evident how the saying “time flies when you’re having fun” came to be when you go on trips like our most recent one to Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida; we had a wonderful time and made some unforgettable memories! I want to document our trip for my family’s enjoyment, but want to keep my amazing readers in mind as well! If you’re planning a trip to Universal Continue reading
As a kid, I was lucky to go on a family vacation every year! I know vacations can be expensive; they fly by and a week or two after you get back you almost feel like you never left, but…and this is a BIG but, the memories you make and the places you see are priceless! Of course, this is simply my opinion and I completely understand the joy of being home too 🙂 Continue reading
As my best friend is counting down to her wedding (1 year from today!) it reminds me of the excitement I felt during my own engagement! Not only was I gaining a husband that day, but also a step daughter. Much like I am, she is quite the sentimental girl and special gifts mean a lot to her; I love that about her. Continue reading
I absolutely love writing about my own wedding and reliving those memories in a way that will preserve them forever, in words that tell a story. However, I’m really excited to have another wedding to write about now too, my best friend’s wedding! Michelle. We met in 7th grade…she french braided my hair for track practice and the rest is history! This is the girl who’s always been there for me; she’s truly my best friend for life! You know, that person who will Continue reading
I love the idea of sharing ideas from our wedding and capturing little stories from the day at the same time. Still haven’t figured out why it took me so long to begin blogging! If you’re currently engaged, I hope it helps to spark ideas for your own big day, and for everyone, I hope you can appreciate and relate to the story behind each one shared. For our wedding, we (and by we I mean I, because my typical groom said ‘whatever you want honey’ 🙂 ) chose to do a sand ceremony to unite the three of us together as an official family.
