Brunch
Every time I go to Ohio to visit my family, I make sure that I have time to go for brunch at Rebecca’s Bistro in Berlin. It is an old house that was turned into a little cafe and just oozes love, warmth, and HOSPITALITY! It’s such a fun place to chat with my cousin […]
Happy Monday!
It’s 1:10pm and I’m still in my jammies. And the best part? I don’t feel a bit guilty. This is major for me, people! I’m the kind of girl who is running around a million miles an hour trying to get as much done as possible in a day and, for once, I’m being still […]
Pacific Coast & Hearst Castle
Ok, so I know what your thinking – enough with the vacation photos! But I have just a few more that I have to share and then, I promise, I’m done! We rented a motorcycle for a day and drove it along the coast. Of course, it was hubs’ highlight of the week! As you […]
Pebble Beach
While we stayed in Carmel, we drove through Pebble Beach. It has gorgeous golf courses and homes right along the ocean that just take your breath away! The golf courses are right by the ocean! Did we play a round of golf, you ask? Well, considering the $475 price per person for a game (and […]
Carmel-By-The-Sea
After we spent several days in San Francisco, we drove south a few hours to a quaint little town called Carmel-By-The-Sea, which is right next to Pebble Beach. This town is so incredibly chock-full of houses and shops that look like they are right out of a storybook! I just LOVED every minute that we […]
Back to reality!
We are back home from our trip to the West Coast and, holy moly, we feel like we’ve been run over by a truck! Why didn’t anyone warn us how hard it is to get back in the swing of things after a vacation?! I do believe we are in the “adjustment” phase right now… […]
And…..We’re Off!
California – here we come! We off to explore San Francisco and the Pacific Coast Highway! See you on the flip side!
Fall Decorating Arrangement & New Finds
I was inspired to make a fall arrangement because of this post, so I made a mini-version of it. Course it’s not nearly as spectacular, but it turned out ok anyway! I used flowers from my garden and I wanted to hang it on my side door, but I haven’t figured out a good way […]
Trendy Mama!
I just had to show you this super-cute handbag that my friend Carrie made for me recently! Isn’t it adorable?? I went to the fabric store and picked out fabric, which was completely overwhelming and took a lot longer than I expected! There are wayyyy too many cute fabrics to choose from! Anyway, the bag […]
He’s a thumb-sucker!
Yes, it appears we are going to have a baby boy and I must say, I feel a little lost when it comes to boys! The past two years have been filled with all things girly – dolls, dresses, tea parties…where does a boy fit into this picture??? I guess we’ll find out! And, of […]
At the pond on a summer night
Fishing at my in-law’s farm… Wish we could capture these beautiful August nights in a bottle and save them for the middle of winter! Avery’s eye surgery last Friday went very well, although the recovery was a bit rough for her and her parents! It’s not fun seeing your child in pain, especially when she’s […]
