As I started to think about packing for our two-week honeymoon in Italy, all I could think was “what the heck am I going to wear for TWO WEEKS??!!” I’m used to packing for a long weekend, maybe a week max, but two weeks? That’s tough. I’m not the kind...
Yay, Wedding Wednesday is BACK. I took a couple weeks off because I was so busy with other things (Halloween is important, everyone!), but I’m back on track. And, wow, you’re in for a treat. I’m sharing with you today one of my all-time favorite weddings. It was years ago...
While we’re painting our house, it might be time to do some other upgrades to the exterior, like replacing our old front doorknob. I actually don’t mind the looks of what we have because it’s brass and shiny, but it’s tricky to use, which is a real pain when you...
When one of my best friends told me that she wanted to throw me a baby shower, well, first I got all teary … and then I said I wanted to be in charge of decorations! We decided to throw the shower at our new house. At the time we totally thought we’d...

The holidays are always a whirlwind, right? We had a few frantic days before Christmas going to lots of parties with friends and family, and then we spent a wonderful Christmas morning just the two of us, exchanging gifts (so many good things this year!), drinking bellinis, and watching old...
We can cross number 29 (Try a new dinner recipe) off my list because this weekend we made a great meal: Macaroni and Cheese with Bacon. This was basically this recipe from Kelsey Nixon. Kerry and I are big fans of her show, Kelsey’s Essentials, because she breaks everything down. All...
You guysssss! When we shared our holiday home tour the other day you got a peek at my new Palm Springs-inspired midcentury Christmas village. I’m so excited to share more because this might just be my favorite project I’ve EVER made!!! I’ve had this idea in my head for years, so...
