The Easiest Mocha Latte in a Vitamix

Funny story: a couple years ago Andy’s new boss’s boss — the big boss — invited him to get a coffee. They walked over to a Starbucks near the office and when the boss asked Andy what he wanted, Andy said, “oh nothing… I just had an apple juice at...

Kitchen renovation update

Hi guys! I hope you all had a great weekend. We had a big “tailgating” party at our house yesterday with Andy’s whole family (yes, while our house is under construction — that’s never stopped us before!) and then all 15 of us went to the Cleveland Browns/Pittsburgh Steelers game....

Engagement photo shoot

Way back in October, our good friend Shannon Sullivan of Clubhouse Creative shot some photos of me and Andy to use in our invitation suite, which he designed. (I can’t wait to share those photos, too, because everything he designed was completely amazing!) We knew right away when we got engaged...

Road Trip Video

Hey, we made a little video about our road trip to South Carolina. Lots of driving. Lots of grey skies. Lots of Kerry waving. One stop to replace a broken tail light. And a little bit of sun. The music is by the artist American War. Since this is Friday, I’ll...

Holiday traditions: the nativity

Every year one of my favorite parts of Christmas is setting up my nativity set. I think traditions like this make the holidays magical. Even though I didn’t grow up in a religious family, at all, my mother would set up this nativity scene every year, and it was a...

2013 goal: declutter

Every time a new year rolls around I hear a ton of people saying, “I resolve to not make any resolutions.” But I like to make goals for myself. I like the challenge of putting my mind to changing something or trying something new. I’ve had a few over the...

Scouts Honor Co. summer collection

I’ve been a huge fan of Annemarie Buckley’s Scouts Honor Co. for a long time. I remember the first time I discovered her work and literally spent the rest of the day reading her blog from start to finish. I could not get enough. I encouraged Andy to work with...

Set the table for a spring garden party

It may not feel like spring outside with all the snow falling at my house this week, but let’s dream about a gorgeous spring garden party for a moment, ok? I’m thinking lots of wildflowers and mossy goodness, just like this gorgeous tabletop by Elizabeth Ann Designs (via Camille Styles)....

Ruby Turns One!!

It’s Ruby’s birthday! Our little pup is a big dog now, and I have to say I’m feeling a little sentimental. We love this little scruffy designer mutt so much with her crazy hair and pointy nose. She’s silly and sweet and tries SO hard to be good… unless she’s trying SO...

Goodbye, pink

It’s a big day in the Burritos and Bubbly household. The pink paint in the living room is officially gone. I’ll miss the pink for sure, but with just the first coat up so far, the white is looking GREAT and the room is so BRIGHT! I’ll just have to find another...
