Let me preface this post by saying it has been over a year in the making. According to my WordPress dashboard, I started writing the drafts of this post in January 2018, at the height of my wedding and house hunting stress. Like the rest of my blog, I put it on the back burner until I had the time, energy, and brain power to muster the effort to finish … Continue reading Why I Stopped Caring About My Blog
Today’s post is the second half of a mini series talking about the wedding traditions Colton and decided just weren’t for us. We both loved and hated the wedding planning process. We were able to mold the day into something that was uniquely ours, and that sometimes meant eliminating classic wedding traditions from the timeline. Part one of the mini series focused on the traditions … Continue reading Wedding Traditions We Broke, Part 2

New year, new outfits! I’m starting 2019 by reinvigorating my work wear wardrobe. I’m stepping away from my usual jeans, flats, and sweater lull I’ve been in lately and stepping up to more sleek, stream-lined looks. This outfit has become my go-to for work days when I just need to wear something black. We all have those days, right? Scroll down to see all of … Continue reading Work Wear: J.Crew Black Outfit
I’m so excited my favorite time of the year is finally here! Christmas has always been the time of year I look forward to… hot cocoa by the fire, Christmas carols on the radio, Christmas movies on the TV, decorating the trees, and giving presents.

When planning our wedding in May, Colton and I looked to a lot of classic traditions for both our ceremony and reception to help shape the biggest day of our lives. We quickly found that a lot of wedding traditions didn’t feel right to either one of us. We tried to keep our wedding low-key and small so we ended up eliminating some traditions that … Continue reading Wedding Traditions We Broke, Part 1
Colton and I moved into our first house in May of this year shortly before our wedding. After painting the entire house, renovating the kitchen, and moving in, we’ve slowly started to furnish and decorate our new home.
