Boston

We spent the weekend doing a quick little tour of Boston and some small towns north of the city. It was a gorgeous weekend and so fun to see genuine New England homes and towns!

Beautiful Colorado

We just got back from a week-long trip to the western slope of the Rockies in Colorado – what a great time of year to be there! We visited friends and some family (my brother, his wife and 2 kids) and did some sightseeing. We traveled around Cimarron, Montrose, Ouray, Delta, and the Grand Mesa. […]

Martha Stewart Wedding Ideas

Leaning on an easel or hanging on a wall, a framed display of eyelet-inspired seating cards is charming (make as many as you need). The cards are cut from card stock and embellished with easy-to-find craft supplies — a rotary cutter with scallop and zigzag blades, and decorative punches. For edging, cut four lengths of […]

A few things…

So my little brother just got engaged! Very exciting! And the wedding is in 4 months! I’m going to be helping to coordinate their wedding, which will be really fun. It’s always a lot of fun and very rewarding to help plan a wedding for family members and friends. It’s cool to be able to […]

More house pictures

So I thought I’d post some pictures of our kitchen. We totally gutted the kitchen about a year ago and it took a few months to finish it, since we did almost all the work ourselves. Here’s what it looked like when we bought the house 1 1/2 years ago. It was under construction for […]

Hallway/Foyer

My baby turns one!

Wow – It’s been a year since hubs and I came home from the hospital with a brand new 6 1/2 lb. baby! We were so clueless!! How do we strap her into the carseat? How do we give her a bath? How often should we feed her? What kind of diaper should we use? […]

Busy, Busy, Busy

So I have had a long day digging, planting, watering and all that good stuff. Last week we tore out all of our old, tired, 50 year old shrubs and now it’s time to put in new stuff! I’m actually very excited about it, although it is a ton of work! So far I’ve planted…-Delphinium […]

Target carries wedding dresses

Who knew? Target unveiled their new line of wedding dresses, designed by Isaac Mizrahi. Check them out: Target Wedding Dress Line There’s also a video you can watch of Isaac showing off his collection. They are actually really pretty, simple dresses. I think they’d be great for an informal wedding, second wedding, or for someone […]

Mariposa Azul Spa

I recently met with the ladies at Mariposa Azul Spa and saw their new facility on Main Street in Manheim. It is a very peaceful, relaxing spot! They specialize in pampering bridal parties by offering a variety of spa services, as well as a catered lunch/dinner from a nearby restaurant. If you are looking for […]
