When Sex and City first entered my life, it was on E!. I was five when the first episode aired on HBO. I remember my parents would put my sister and I to bed on Sunday nights a littler earlier so that they could be on the couch for that opening theme music. As anContinue reading “Carrying on with Carrie Bradshaw”

Day Dream Travel
I will be honest, I do not travel very much. My childhood vacations were spent in Williamsburg, VA and VA beach. Both no more then 2 hours from home. In my teen years, I loathed the same old trip with family to such a “boring” place. Now as an adult, we don’t take many familyContinue reading “Day Dream Travel”
Sweet As Sugar: A Cotton Candy Soiree
The eternal optimist in me has become determined with creating special events even while we are stuck at home. My heart hurts for all of us, especially those of us who have had their wedding, baby shower, or birthday “taken away from them” this year. I have seen some pretty creative celebrations come out ofContinue reading “Sweet As Sugar: A Cotton Candy Soiree”
The Walk
I know I am not the only Bride who has walked herself down the aisle for one reason or another on her wedding day. I remember every moment of that walk. For such a quick moment of a long day, it certainly can hold its own in as far as memories go. To fully tellContinue reading “The Walk”
Weekend Getaway Essentials
Spring can not come fast enough! The groundhog may not have seen his shadow but spring is still rolling in slow here in RVA. For those who cannot afford the tropical getaway, I still recommend a getaway to ease those winter blues. I have found that a change of scenery is usually all it takesContinue reading “Weekend Getaway Essentials”
The day of hearts and roses
For someone who loves love, it should be no secret that I very much enjoy Valentines day. Over the years as we grow up and grow old, I think our hearts get a little cynical. It is easy to brush off the 14th as “not a real holiday”. While every day should be love filled,Continue reading “The day of hearts and roses”
Galentine’s Day Celebration
Valentines is great and all but have you celebrated Galantines yet? For me this holiday was made known by Lesley Knope on Parks and Rec. She gathered her work ladies for a Bruch of waffles and girl talk and from that moment that was something I wanted to acknowledge. For the last three years IContinue reading “Galentine’s Day Celebration”
The 200 Day Check List
This timeline is often known as the 6ish month checklist but for those of you with a countdown app to the big day, 200 days is what you are looking at. While planning weddings the panic and stress can come up at multiple times, for some people this is in the beginning but for most,Continue reading “The 200 Day Check List”
Weekly Wedding Words: The Engagement Check List
When cuffing season turns to engagement season, my ears perk up. Unlike so many of my friends, I love seeing happy people posting with their shiny new rings and excited for all the wonderful things to come over the next year. When the excitement wears off, most brides are left saying, “where do I begin?”Continue reading “Weekly Wedding Words: The Engagement Check List”
2020 Preview
As the new year rolls in with the new pressures and new expectations, I am left wishing that 2020 came with a little preview. A trailer for this next year would be great, just a quick minute and half video of what to expect for the year. While unfortunately God prefers the surprise of itContinue reading “2020 Preview”
