Columbus Country Living Fair

Yesterday I drove down to Columbus for the Country Living Fair, which is an enormous annual festival of crafts and antiques, and I had the BEST time. I came home with a few more things than I was planning on… but that’s what it’s all about right? Plus, I’m kind...

Burrito Mondays: Ohio City Burrito

It should come as no surprise to anyone that I am a burrito addict. Certifiably. A few weeks ago, I started a little thing called “Burrito Mondays.” Kerry often can’t make it home from work on Monday nights for “lunch,” and I didn’t feel like cooking dinner for one, so...

Family Room Progress Report

Ugh. You guys. What a week. After the horrible day we had Monday, Joey came down with a cold on Tuesday, and now all three of us are sick! Andy is currently at the doctor, Joey is napping and I am sniffling at the computer. Can we please just catch...

Wedding Wednesday: retro fabulous

Last week I told you that we were going to look at a place, and good news… We have a wedding date and location! Keep May 19th open. We immediately knew when we walked in that it was THE ONE. Sweeping views, huge windows, high ceilings, exposed brick. Perfect. I...

My Daily Makeup Routine and Favorite Drugstore Products

The new garage… that looks like an old barn

I’d like to introduce you to our brand new garage! This is a huge change from our old garage, which we could barely walk into let alone park two cars in. So we went from a creaky, old, falling-down barn to a brand new garage that just looks like an...

Travel diary: New York City

The first time I went to New York City, I was about 12 years old and went with my father for two days while he had business meetings. I remember going to the top of the Empire State Building, seeing the Ghostbusters Ecto-1 parked right outside our hotel(!), and getting...

Inspiration: Hogwarts

Ok, believe me, I know how silly this all sounds, but let me convince you.  Inspiration really is all around you.  Even at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry! Take a look at these pictures… This wall of art reminds me of one featured in the Sept. issue of Martha Stewart...

The pumpkin patch

Going to a pumpkin patch to pick out the perfect pumpkins for Halloween is one of my absolute favorite fall rituals. No. It’s one of my absolute favorite things to do all year! I love taking a drive out to the country, putting on cozy boots for the first...
