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
I feel so behind on the wedding planning after having a game-filled July to take up pretty much all of my time. The positives are that we went to Colorado to take our engagement photos but everything else just fell, sort-of, flat. Timeline - 10 Months in Advance Save Flower Photos: The flowers are my … Continue reading An Honest Bride: Ten Months Out
I love how strong I was a month ago, saying that I wouldn’t hire a wedding planner. I am now eating crow and paying out for A Toast Custom Event Planning and I’m already so obsessed with these ladies so I know it’s going to be totally worth it. Aside from that, June - July … Continue reading An Honest Bride: Eleven Months Out
I thought it would be super fun and potentially helpful to provide an as-I-go list of wedding planning and tips that have helped me through the wedding planning process. I love planning parties and I think of a wedding as just a large gathering of all of your favorite people, so I decided to forego … Continue reading An Honest Bride: One Year Out
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
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
“It was always you.” Jim and Pam; Ross and Rachel; David and Patrick; Hannah and Garrett. If there’s anything I’ve learned from sitcoms and scripted series, there’s nothing simple about love and living happily ever after. If I’ve learned anything, romance isn’t flowers being brought to you every day after work. It’s not chocolate and … Continue reading Tale as Old as Time
2020 seems to be the year for either having babies or making them (I guess we’ll blame that on an eight month pandemic)! With my sister’s firstborn making an appearance this year and so many friends have sweet little girls, it’s difficult to contain my excitement. I consider myself well-versed in the way of party … Continue reading The Bebe Edit: A French, Winnie the Pooh Shower
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
