What I’m Lovin’ Round-Up: July 2011
1) Beginners: Okay you guys, this movie? It’s such a must-see. Because honest to God, as much as I love Daisy, in the first five minutes of this film, I fell in love with this dog, Arthur. I love movies that are equal parts quirk and stellar storytelling. Throw the amazing acting talent of (a...
Explorin’ Asheville with my mama
What to say about Asheville? I always love when a city lives up to my expectations and this Southern jewel was no different — from the hazy blue views of the Smoky Mountains to a revitalized downtown with its (local!) shops, art galleries and outdoor eateries, there was much for us to see and do...
Ten on Tuesday: July ‘11 Edition
1) When you are on a plane and the kid behind you is kicking your seat, what do you do?
Put up with it. I don’t have it in me to be confrontational, so I endure awkward social situations like this by keeping my mouth shut. I figure it’s just God’s way of testing my patience....
The next best thing to having your own lake house…
Is being friends with people who do!
The Midwest may be short on an ocean, but northern Indiana is lake country and I spent plenty summers of my youth celebrating weekends on the lake at either my grandmother’s campground or at the lake houses of high school classmates. It’s a blessing that, while we no longer...
Melissa and Andrew: Their Wedding Story
Melissa’s mom, Martha, works at a dentist’s office in town and she made sure all the girls were prepared when it came to fresh, minty breath! I told Melissa I thought it made for such a cute personal detail to the day. Martha should be there for all my brides who’d appreciate the gesture the...
Mandi and Sam: Sneak Peek
It may have been one of the hottest days of the year for Mandi and Sam’s wedding Saturday, but Mandi was a bride who was cool as a cucumber. She didn’t sweat any of the little things, had a perma-grin on her face all day and, oh yeah, did I mention she looked GORGEOUS?! Sam,...
#36…check and mark!
#36) Start an herb garden
I think it was six? maybe seven? years ago that I first attempted to grow an herb garden. Notice the key word here being “attempted.” I failed MISERABLY at keeping those little plants watered and within a few weeks, they were as dry and crumbly as burnt toast.
After one too many...
July Self-Portrait: A room with a view
It was some time last fall when I first suggested to Nick I should take my mother on a trip. His answer? “Why not?” (I love my husband’s carpe diem attitude—it’s one that truly rivals my own.) When I asked last December if she might be interested, the emphatic “Yes!” that fell out of her...
Eileen and Chris: Their Wedding Story
Because Eileen and Chris are some of our close friends (and Chris is Nick’s best friend—he was Chris’s best man), we stayed overnight with the two of them and then I was able to go to the salon with Eileen in the morning. Fun for me, since this is a part of the day I’m...
