March 31 was 12 days til the wedding! I woke up early, went downtown to meet my sister at our hair trial appointment at Jean Madeline Aveda Institute. They did a great job of what my hair will look like for the big day! We played with a few different styles. April 3 my sister [...]
I have one of those little apps on my iPhone that provides me with a countdown until the wedding. I look at it every once in a while, but never really became focused on it. However, I looked at it today, and it said that I have less than 6 and a half months to [...]
Anyone that knows me knows I have a huge sweet tooth. A staple in my diet used to be homemade trail mix – almonds and Mike & Ikes, no joke. (I use the past tense as I have been Mike & Ike free for 13 days!) As I sit at my computer my thoughts wonder to [...]
As I sit here sipping my Almond Joy coffee and watching last Friday night’s episode of ‘Fringe’ on the DVR, I am thinking about all that my mom and I accomplished over the past four days. For sure, we were pretty busy, running from craft store to craft store to restaurant supply store to craft [...]
As I have mentioned, Dirk is from Germany and has been living in the Philadelphia area for about five years.

Some women are shoe girls or purse girls — I, on the other hand, am more of a tank top and flip-flop gal. I never buy heels unless I am in a wedding and the bride asks us to buy a certain shoe. I change my purses out only about twice a month, unless I [...]
To get me through work stress, wedding overload, and a rainy Friday, today’s post is an another honeymoon check-in. This week, Jared booked several excursions for Hawaii, which put us both in good moods! Does a $300 Jeep Wrangler count as an “excursion?” It better, because it is now listed as “his” pick in our [...]
Ah, bridesmaid dresses! They are either great or grrrreat. Luckily most weddings I have been in were pretty great, but there are some horrendous ones out there that is for sure! I knew right away I wanted something short so the girls “can wear it again.” Yes, I know, I know, do they usually ever? [...]
