I recently went from Moët to Mrs. in Palm Springs with my bridesmaids, Matron of Honor and Maid of Honor and…you guys…it was the bachelorette weekend of my dreams! We all escaped pretty brutal winters from Oklahoma, Texas, Washington D.C. and Oregon so going to the warm desert in the middle of February is truly … Continue reading A Palm Sprung Bachelorette

Köln > Perfume
For the final leg of our German Christmas tour, we headed to Cologne, Germany for their highly coveted and well revered Christmas Markets! Cologne definitely lived up to the expectations of what a German Market should be and they were so good (well three of them were) that we went to four! We spent an … Continue reading Köln > Perfume
An Honest Bride: Seven Months Out
November brought on G and I celebrating our one-year anniversary of being engaged...which is bizarre. I never thought we’d be engaged over a year, but with COVID-19 and a high demand for literally everything, a longer engagement has been a true blessing in disguise. Timeline - 7 Months in Advance Meet with Ceremony Musicians: As … Continue reading An Honest Bride: Seven Months Out
Bonjour, my Bridal Shower
Bonjour, my little loves! I am finally writing about the Francophile Bridal Shower of my dreams hosted by my Maid of Honor, Matron of Honor and best friend’s mum from October!

An Ode to the To-Do
I figured I’d take a break from writing about wedding planning and events to talk about the true love of my life - writing lists. I have such an odd obsession with making lists and I feel like I might be the only person who takes it to the level that I do. I have … Continue reading An Ode to the To-Do

August really put me on my butt - with a busy baseball schedule, I fell way behind in what I needed to get done for this month’s timeline. The good news is that I was pretty far ahead of the curve so I had a cushion of time to fall back a little on planning! … Continue reading An Honest Bride: Nine Months Out
Laying Off My Furlough
I haven’t been too vocal about being furloughed for six months, unfortunately due to feeling humiliated and embarrassed, as well as having bitterness to the entire situation. I returned to work at the beginning of this month and it’s been quite the adjustment. I learned to reframe my mindset after having a strict schedule of … Continue reading Laying Off My Furlough
2020’s Best Books…In My Opinion
This year, I set a goal of reading two books a month, or 24 total books for the year and I did it! I was really proud of myself because none of them were re-reads and they were all different types of genres. One plus side of my six month furlough was that I had … Continue reading 2020’s Best Books…In My Opinion
Rise Up
As August sipped away like a bottle of wine, I closed off the month by attending the Everygirls Rise 2020 Virtual Conference with the Every Girl Media Group and LaMarca Prosecco! From hearing from incredible professionals from Macy’s, Instagram and more to reaching into those who have left the corporate world to start their own … Continue reading Rise Up
Small Rental Updates
I am so freakin' thrilled that for the first time in six (!!) years, I am living in one house for more than a year! Crazy how time flies when I'm not moving state-to-state or changing mailing addresses. With that being said, now that we've lived in our little casita for a year, it was … Continue reading Small Rental Updates
