Big Bowls of Cereal

and Busy Days

Personal ~ November 15, 2011

When I

get busy….several things happen……1. I forget to eat meals and remember that I didn’t eat them at midnight so then I inhale two bowls of cereal because I think I can justify it. 2. I begin to think strategically. What HAS to be done today… and what can wait.  3. Facebook, Pinterest and Twitter become HUGE “no-no’s”. I can’t even consider looking at them because there is a chance I’ll get sucked in and waste a good 30 minutes of work time. and 4. My hair suffers. I get out of the shower and just throw it up … all day.  Today my hair is up, my stomach is growling and facebook’s addicting red notification symbol is tempting me.  It’s been a long day

Everyday ~ November 4, 2011

Today is

busy busy busy. We leave for our fall youth retreat and then I leave from the retreat to shoot my second to last weeding of the YEAR! I’m so excited for these last two weddings but I’m also excited for a break! 4 engagement sessions, 1 workshop and 2 weddings to go!  I can see the light!! So today is just a little post for a little man that has stole our hearts. Baby Mason was born on October 23rd and we actually got to see him and hold him on his actual BIRTHDAY! He’s tiny and cute. Michael and I love watching this new phase of like unfold for Seth and Em. The key word there is “watching”. We’re so not in the “baby” phase right now

One Year Anniversary

Personal ~ October 10, 2011

It’s been one

year since I was stuffing moss and peacock feathers into vintage birdcages… one year since my family completely made-over the exterior of our house so that the 6,000sq ft tent could make it’s way onto our backyard. It’s been a year since literally DOZENS of people helped bring food for the bridal party, made invitations, set up centerpieces, moved antique furniture up a flight of steps, hung strand upon strand of patio lights, set up parking in the front yard, laid down sod in the backyard, posted “Wedding” signs 6 miles away to help out of town guests, set up the sound for the full band at the ceremony, hung lemon leaf garland all over the sanctuary,  lit votives, finalized timelines and the list could

Wedding Wednesday

First Comes Love, Then comes marriage,

Personal ~ September 21, 2011

Eventually…

there’s a baby in a carriage… or something like that.  This is really a stretch for WEDDING WEDNESDAY. It’s not really wedding related at ALL. However, here is how I’m justifying it in my head… it’s a baby shower, with cute DIY details that could be inspiration for wedding details… and it was for a PAST bride.  So technically…. it’s wedding related. Anyway, why am I trying to justify this? It’s my blog, I’ll post what I want! There. So Wedding Wednesday is a Baby Shower post and for all of you out there that are really type A… this is probably going to cause a twitch.

It happens

more often than it used to.  I’ll say or do something that resembles you and Michael tells me “You’re turning into your mother!”.  Now that I’m married and living on my own, I guess in some ways, I have started doing things that I watched you do my whole life.  I’m proud of myself when I file our bills correctly and the longer we own this house, the more and more I HATE having piles of clutter here and there.  When guests come over, I take our stack of old mail and random junk from the kitchen counter and I stuff it in a closet until the everyone leaves… I’m sorry I just announced that to the whole world but I’m pretty sure we’re not the only family that does that.:)  When I’m
