A crazy late November schedule has meant I’ve had to be patient with myself in getting around to pulling together the first of a few vacation recap posts from our trip in early November out to the Pacific Northwest. As I worked on these images last night, all I could think was a) we got...

800 miles and even more in love later ….
It has been a whirlwind of a 72 hours …. Nick and I got back late Thursday from a six-day trip out West, flying into San Francisco, renting a car, driving up the coast and ending in Seattle. It was a trip we’d dreamed about taking for a long time and in no way did...
A living room I can love
Remember that one time? When I said I was going to remodel my living room? Yeah, well, I don’t blame you if it’s slipped your mind After (no joke) years spent dreaming about the remakings of this room, I found that, when the time came to set the wheels in motion, I wasn’t...
Happy Halloween!
We hadn’t carved pumpkins in years. And the last time we did, there was a cordless drill involved and toothpicks to repair the elaborate pattern I attempted and then abandoned in disgust.
This year, feeling all festive, we bought ourselves a book of patterns and some crafting tools at Lowe’s and went to town on our...
Falling for fall…
It’s my favorite season of the year and yet, it’s gone in what feels like an instant. For those of us lucky enough to experience fall, we know it’s fleeting. We know that, all too soon, the brilliant hues that light up the trees are gone in two weeks — three if we’re lucky. Soon...
They’re not laugh lines…they’re LOVE lines
I noticed them in the mirror this year. Lines. Lots and lots of fine lines. On my forehead. Around my eyes. The bridge of my nose. I’d squint and think, “So this is how it starts, huh? What comes with my status as a soon-to-be 30-year-old?” And then I stocked up on moisturizer and tried...
The Frugal Challenge
Last month, Nick and I decided to get serious about spending. As in, we aren’t typical penny pushers but we came to this realization of, “Look, we want to start a family before too much longer, WE NEED TO GET SERIOUS ABOUT THIS.” And then we looked at where our money goes. And while a...
Five Years
I put a lot of pressure on myself on what I wanted to write on this day. One that began with a sweet email from my husband with the subject line: “Happy Anniversary!” Knowing this was a post I wanted to write and that these were memories I wanted to relive, I tucked into our...
California, how I want to remember you…
I debated on writing a blog post about my Cali adventures last month. Those days I spent out there felt more personal than so many of my other recent trips I’ve shared on the blog. Not to mention that, because I spent so much time relaxing and, well, being present with friends, I really didn’t...
Dear California…..
I’ll be out of the office August 7-14 and will return to emails and photo questions and requests on August 15. Until then, I’m off to California!
