A Boy And Girl

I’ve taken a couple thursdays off, but I finally had some fun stuff to share so I put together a post. -First of all, I made this stove top macaroni and cheese for the second time in a week and as I noted on my pinterest post, it’s dangerously convenient- one pot, no pre-boiling, any [...]

I had a fun morning making these fragrant, natural candles, and I decided to do a tutorial for you here, since I hadn’t found any that were that great (and learned a few things myself, along the way!).
Here’s what you need:

Josh is the best at planning trips for celebrations, and my 27th birthday was no exception. We stayed at the Hotel on Rivington, which was such a great part of the city to stay in. It’s such a funny shock to the system when you’re used to seeing this first thing in the morning, and [...]

Josh and I spent Easter visiting my sisters and brother and their families in Kentucky, and we had such an amazing trip. We are aunt and uncle to four little boys, and I cherish every minute we get to spend with them. It was only a 3 day trip, but we managed to fit in [...]

Last weekend Josh and I watched my dear friend Debbie marry her new husband, Wade. They have a lovely, romantic story (a pilot and a flight attendent!) and I couldn’t be happier for them. I was honored to be able to make their cake topper and enjoyed every moment putting it together. They are so [...]

We’re still on our honeymoon but we have a little down time today till we hop on a plane to our final destination: FIJI! I’ll have lots to say about our honeymoon when we get back, but first I have to gush about our wedding a little. The day went by just as fast as [...]

I was so happy to finally unveil my very belated Christmas present to Josh this past week. I wanted to stitch a portrait from one of Alison’s amazing photos- but I can’t believe I actually did it, and I’m so happy with the results. Here are some close-ups, so you can see how I mixed [...]

Lately it seems as though every time I visit NYC, it’s raining. This time, that was ok, since Josh and I had planned to visit the MoMA anyways. I particularly love the Architecture and Design floor, and Josh was happy to see more Picasso (we also visited his paintings at the Met earlier last year). [...]

We had “the hunter and his prey” idea ages ago, but the execution was very last minute. (Ha ha!) Josh’s costume was pretty straightforward since he already has a giant beard. I just glued felt ears to a headband, dressed in brown, and tried to give myself “doe eyes.”

Josh and I are super lucky to have had the experience of a photo shoot with an amazing (and quite well-known!) photographer, Alison Conklin. I have been following Alison’s blog for years and have always marveled at her beautiful photos. I figured there had to be some magical tricks behind her photos, something to make [...]
