An Autumn Wedding
A unique wedding for a very unique bride and groom! This was my last wedding of the year and it was beautiful! The weather was just perfect and the couple was so laid back and seemed to just enjoy their day! The wedding party… Beautiful autumn flowers… The Bridesmaids were so cute and fun… Lots […]
Oh Dear
I’m afraid I’ve been a bad blogging friend lately. But I must say, having no camera makes me feel like my right arm is cut off and what good is a blog post without a yummy picture, right? Well, the camera is on my Christmas list, so it will hopefully be arriving shortly! Things I’ve […]
The Honey Line (and some easy chicken!)
Did you guys catch Rachael Ray’s show last Thursday? She interviewed model/athlete Gabrielle Reese who talked about the benefits of having close friends to talk to and to give and receive advice. Here’s what she said… “If you plug into three or four great friends, they’re like the bees on the honey line. You can […]
An August Wedding
A beautiful young bride, a handsome young groom, and love was in the air! What more could you ask for! I coordinated this wedding for Faith & Jordan in August and thought I’d just share some snapshots of their beautiful day. They had large extended families and lots of friends that were so much fun […]
Pardon Moi!
I’ve been off the blogging radar a bit more than usual in the past few weeks, and I just wanted to let you know that I’m alive and well – just very busy! *NESTING!* One word explains it all! I’ve been stocking up on the baby essentials like diapers, bottles, blankets, all that good stuff. […]
All-Girl Bedroom
Avery’s new “big-girl” room has been a work-in-progress for me this summer, and it’s been so much fun! I’m not quite finished yet, but I thought I’d share what I’ve done so far.I decided to go with a vintage look with lots of pinks and neutral colors. Originally, this room had the most hideous John […]
Aimee Needs
I saw this on someone else’s blog and thought it was pretty funny. Just Google your name and the word “needs” and see what the top 10 results are. Here are mine… 1. Aimee needs our help – please reach out to her!2. Aimee needs another adventure.3. Aimee needs to go potty.4. Aimee needs to […]
Patio Makeover (for cheap!)
One of our projects this summer was to spruce up our sad, sad patio in the back of our house. I’m a bit embarrassed to even show the before pictures, but here you go! The patio was made of concrete blocks that were falling apart, the grass needed to be re-done, the concrete steps needed […]
Can I just say?
There is something so satisfying about seeing your baby’s poo going down.the.toilet instead of into a diaper that i.have.to.clean. This has been potty training week and, although we had a supremely rough start, it is now going quite well. Keep your fingers crossed.
It Must Be Fall
The air is getting cooler, the leaves are falling, and it puts me in the mood to bring out my domestic side and do some cooking! I made some old fashioned chicken corn noodle soup this week and it’s delicious! I canned about 12 quarts – it’s so handy to have on hand for a […]
This is what I do
*sigh* I tear apart the office/playroom and rearrange it with absolutely no planning or thought. On a perfectly nice and quiet Saturday morning. And I totally blame my mother. (sorry mom) I’ve been doing this type of thing since I was five years old. Just ask my sister. And, yes, I totally learned it from […]
Mini House Tour
I’ve talked about my cousin Miriam’s house before, so I thought I’d just take you on a little tour. The atmosphere is just so cozy and inviting! She saw this old hutch setting on someone’s porch and she had the nerve to ask them if they wanted to get rid of it! Luckily, they did […]
