Hi friends, I hope you all had a fantastic Thanksgiving! My family and I just got back from Leavenworth, which was so beautiful and relaxing, but I'm also looking forward to having a couple days left to hang at home on the couch watching Christmas movies and drinking hot cocoa, before Monday rolls around again. I am sure that you guys are probably getting bombarded with Black Friday sales, but I just wanted to share a handful of items I found (under $150!) from the Shopbop sale that are still in stock and super cute for ...

Wedding Planning: Why We Are Using Paperless Post
Truth be told, Nate and I began planning parts of our wedding before we were even engaged. We were friends for a long time before getting together so once we started dating, the whole process just happened fairly naturally. We didn’t know all the intricate details but we knew we wanted things to stay fairly simple and cost efficient. One of the first topics that popped up first was the guest list and whether or not we wanted to send out paper invites or use an online service. Luckily we both agreed that by sending them ...

Earth Day DIY: Turn Empty Aveeno Bottles into Mini Cement Planters!
Guys, I DIYed something! Can you tell I'm very excited about it? I'd like to think my friend Jenni of I Spy DIY would be really proud of me and my efforts, seeing that I don't often take on crafty endeavors, but in the spirit of Earth Day, I decided that I wanted to take a crack at upcycling one of my empty Aveeno bottles. I was inspired by this post and from that, I created a fun mini planter for my baby air plant. The directions below are fairly straightforward but please be careful when using an exacto knife to cut the ... Read the post

Sweet Dreams with Spoon Sleep!
There are so many mattresses out there these days that boast good product design, guaranteeing you the best sleep of your life, but unfortunately not all deliver that promise. I have tried a couple of the "bed in a box" brands and have had both positive and negative experiences, but recognize that it really just comes down to personal preference. But for the past 6 months while home in Seattle, I slept on a very basic mattress that did my back absolutely no favors. I didn't notice it right away but then slowly but surely, I ... Read the post
Life Lately and Some News…
Now that it is 2018, I will be celebrating my 10th year of blogging this coming September, which is just bananas! The fact that my decade anniversary is just 9 months away, really got me thinking about where I want to take the blog and what I see myself doing with it in the years to come. And therefore lies the purpose of this post...to let you know why I have been a little absent on here lately, which has mostly been attributed to my move and new bicoastal life, a heavier work load and the need to give myself some time to ...
