A Quick Getaway

B&B Style

Personal ~ March 6, 2012

Michael and I

are still considering ourselves newlyweds. It hasn’t been two years yet…. so we’re still in that category right? It’s so funny…. when you’ve known someone your whole life and then dated them since you were 15… you think you know everything about one another… but that’s not true! We’re learning new stuff all the time and our most recent discovery is that we’re not 100% IN LOVE with staying at a Bed&Breakfast.  Weird right?! All of our friends LOVE B&B’s!! I mean, who doesn’t love a quaint little homy place to stay for the night? Now don’t get us wrong… it was awesome! The house was BEAUTIFUL, the meal was AMAZING

The Overachiever

Comparison Kills

Personal ~ March 2, 2012

I don’t know

if I’ve ever admitted this or not… but I’m a HORRIBLE comparer-er. I compare my work, my business and my life to others CONSTANTLY and it’s probably the most UNHEALTHY, destructive and discouraging habit EVER!! Why do I let myself think like that?! It’s like I’m using other’s accomplishments as a scale to find out if I’m really doing ENOUGH. The thoughts creep into my head that say “Well she has KIDS… and she’s doing more than I am!”…. and “They’re doing WHAT?! I should have thought of that!” and “How many fans do they have on facebook?!”….. EW. GROSS. Comparison is just down right NASTY. It’s disgusting

The Snapshot

March 2012

Personal ~ March 1, 2012

I really

REALLY can’t believe I’m writing this! It’s MARCH?!! Like three months into 2012?!! Oh my GOSH!!  I really feel like time is slipping away from me and I don’t know where it’s going!  Is because I’m too busy? Or I’m slowing down to enjoy each day? Or is time ACTUALLY speeding up?! I’m pretty sure it’s the last one option.  This is my DOWNTIME… the time when I’m actually home everyday working on albums and big projects that I can’t get done during wedding season! So if time is speeding past me NOW… what is it going to feel like in MAY when the craziness happens?! I’m so thankful that I still have a break! Engagement sessions will begin soon

The kitchen

has been halfway done for quite some time now. It’s at the phase where it’s “good enough” and so we haven’t made any effort to completely finish it. You can say we’re lazy…. but in reality, we just haven’t had time to focus on putting up beadboard and a new backsplash. We’ve lived in this house for almost a year and a half and I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished in this crazy phase of life. When we bought this little cape cod, I walked in, LOVED it…. and immediately had a list of things that we were going to change. The couple that lived here before us had a very traditional style. Dark pine trim work, dark cabinets, NO color on the walls… yikes!

Lazy Mondays

And Remembering the Small Stuff

Personal ~ February 27, 2012

My bedroom

floor is covered in articles of clothing. Shirts, jeans, jackets, sweatpants, sweaters…. I don’t even remember which ones are clean and which ones need to be added to the massive “Laundry” pile in the hallway.  The kitchen counter has a HUGE stack of mail on the counter and underneath that stack of unread bills and letters is my tax packet that I need to fill out for my CPA…. by the end of this week.  My inbox is overflowing and I still haven’t caught up with emails since our trip to Vegas. I’m hosting a workshop in three weeks and I need to send emails and order food and plan… BIGTIME…. and I have a puppy… a sweet fluffy puppy that we have been
