The Sweetest Occasion

Remember my obsession with this amazing JCrew silk clutch? My dear friend Cheyanne is a frequent blog reader and keeps tabs on all my crazy wedding ramblings from Seattle where she and her husband moved shortly after we graduated from college. Apparently, she, JCrew and UPS got together and decided to deliver this on my [...]

Much like Krista and her Wade, M and I have been giving a lot of thought to honeymoon options lately. We decided early on that we wanted it to be fairly local, no flights required. This stems from a couple of reasons, but primarily revolves around the fact that my passport expires in August and [...]

Can I take these galvanizes saucers from Jamali Garden

($9.00/each for the largest 18″ dia. size)

While I’ve been on a wee bit of a blogging hiatus this week, I have not been on a hiatus from wedding planning. In fact, I’ve been rather productive. Just today I booked the limo for Friday night, an expense we had not been planning on, but which we did come to find necessary given [...]

Just a quick update this evening to let everyone I am still plugging along over here. I managed another 9 workouts this week and am going to make a concerted push for 10 workouts/week starting tomorrow.

In fifth or sixth grade, I introduced one of my friends, M, to one of my cousins, A. M and I had known each other since approximately the age of two, having attended day care and preschool together. She is my absolute oldest friend. A and I have always been tremendously close and he is, [...]

And then remember when they went from costing a few hundred dollars to closer to $1000 – 2000 save for the occasional dress in the $600 – 700 range? We mere mortals could do nothing more than drool, just as [...]

The day I found out I had won the Weddingbee/Bella Figura contest back in August, I was convinced it could get no better. As it turns out, I was wrong. Completely wrong, in fact. Today it got so much better…off the charts better really. After months of excitement and shared emails with Andrea, Bella’s Client [...]

Today was yet another day where each new post in the blogosphere only seemed to get better, so it seemed like the perfect opportunity to share a few of my favorite tidbits as the first time it was such a hit. Did anyone else stumble upon incredible inspiration today?
First up, I feel like I spent the entire [...]

So, Krista’s post today reminded me that I forgot my Sunday update on my 2009 quest for ultimate and supreme fitness. Seriously, slacking already? Not good! However, I am happy to report that I have not been slacking in the getting fit department itself. Last week was a great week for me! I started doing [...]
