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
If you have me on social media, you know by now that my Grandmother died a week ago. It’s been hard. Brutal, really.

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 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
I am back from an exhausting trip to Austin. Exhausting? Correct! Not just from traveling in a pandemic, concerned about every move I made, but also due to my newfound furlough at work and car troubles on my return trip. But that’s not what we’re here for on this fine Wednesday! I am here to … Continue reading I Still Love You
This week, Garrett and I were supposed to be going to Germany and France. It was a trip that I had been looking forward to for what felt like forever, but like so many others, that trip has been cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. I’ve been in a bit of a slump because of … Continue reading Traveling during a Pandemic
