Check Mark
I can’t tell you yet what HUGE wedding project we finished this weekend, but I will say that it involved 2,500 sheets of paper, 20 ink cartridges, five sets of hands, and eight full days! Read more
There are not enough hours in the day …
… to cut, tape, design, fold, print, tie, adhere, decorate, order, wrap, write, plan, meet, choose, call, and confirm. Not to mention eat, sleep, and work. But it’s all worth it, because in just 15 days I get to marry this man! Read more

Wedding Month Is Here!
It sure hasn’t felt like a typical summer: no lazy Sundays on the hammock or lounge chairs and books on the beach or cocktails on the deck (okay, there have been a few cocktails on several decks). Instead I’ve spent a lot of time on my living room floor tying ribbons and stuffing envelopes and assembling centerpieces. With just 24... Read more
Weekend Menu Planning
Lately, Nick and I have gotten into the habit of dining out on weekends. While we’ve enjoyed discovering hidden gems, and we’re always in the mood for wings and beers from Otto’s, we really do miss cooking together (a la the culinary couple). The excuse, “we’re too busy to go grocery shopping,” is no longer valid. Starting now. Plus it... Read more
Less than One Month
I can’t believe I’ll be a married woman in LESS than one month! (I missed documenting the official one month mark yesterday because I was busy wedding crafting.) Last weekend was a whirlwind of wedding activities: hair and makeup trials, dress fitting, and meetings with our coordinator, our caterer, and our photographer. In two weeks, we’ll return to York for... Read more
What I Learned Last Weekend
A seven-year-old will ride the Super Dooper Looper only if you promise to buy Rock Band 2 for him. According to a one-and-a-half-year-old, elk and wolves and snakes all say “rawr.” Chocolate tastes better when you buy it in Hershey. The combination of taupe and mauve makes my blue eyes bluer. (I’ll give you proof after the wedding.) A ring... Read more
Dancing Down the Aisle
I’m probably the one-millionth person to post this video to her blog, but I can’t resist. What fun! I think Nick can do somersaults, and I bet we have a few groomsmen who can do handstands. Although all of this must be done down a flight of stairs, which adds a few degrees of difficulty! But, seriously, I just love... Read more
Sweet Treats
Who doesn’t love a moist cupcake with creamy frosting? They’re so cute and fun to eat. And I’m not picky when it comes to flavors. Give me dark chocolate or strawberry or coconut or even carrot. I dream of the day when I can use my red KitchenAid stand mixer to whip up some of these sweet treats! Here are... Read more
