We sent most of the invites out this past weekend – there are still a few local folks I need to meet up with to hand them off to, but, phew. I know we’re late in the game (ummm, 33 days until the wedding?) but we did send save the dates super early and have [...]

Polyvore wedding madness. This helps, really. My ideas have been so scattered! And yes, I know that you’re supposed to make pretty overlapping collage type things in Polyvore but I like it all spread out. I don’t know why. What’s left? We ordered a suit on eBay, fingers crossed it fits. I need to start [...]

So I freak out about wedding planning a lot, and pretty much every day I think; “We can’t do this! It’s too much money! It’s too much stress! I want more time!” But, I’m almost 35, we want to try for babies, and I feel past my prime enough being a 34 year old bride. [...]

The thing about going away is that when you walk into your house after ONE MILLION HOURS of traveling, it’s like you’ve cuddled into the lap of the biggest mama ever. If you’re lucky. And I am super lucky, because I have a dreamy house and dreamy boy and dreamy cat to come back to. [...]

This is Dori! She is a witch. A little witch! Dori recently moved from San Francisco to New England – her blog from her new house is perfection – whitewashed walls, wide plank floors, spiral gardens – & bears in the backyard!? She is a spiritual counselor, magic apothecarian (that’s not a word) & I [...]

We kept saying “ok, we’ll think about the wedding when we get back” while we were in Vermont and now it’s “OK, we’ll freak out when I get back from Paris”  but holy cow, we are totally dropping the ball on this one. My wedding countdown says we have 120 days left. Whoa. Step it [...]

Ok, so. I’ve been trying to Etsy like mad, but I feel a little burnt out. I was thinking I’d come home and zip through more listings, but I was grumpy as heck all day today!! No idea why. After dinner I’ll tuck up into bed with the laptop and edit some photos I took [...]

We decided to do our invites and save the dates ourselves, both for financial and control freak reasons. We’re not making the invites until July, but I couldn’t resist sharing these, I’m pleased how they turned out!! Contrary to what one might think, I’m pretty simple and traditional when it comes to stuff like this, [...]

Oh, did I say I wasn’t going to write about the wedding for weeks? Well, ok. I lied. Slogging through the madness that is Google search results for wedding questions, I found eastsidebride pretty early in this crazy process, and was like “Great! I’ll just read this! It’s sane!” You have to understand that I [...]

So I’ve decided to make my own dress, but have come across so many amazing options online as well. The handful of wedding magazines I’ve flipped through, I’m shocked at how similar all the dresses are. There’s a world of possibilities, ladies! Shake it up! I do have some limitations: I’m definitely not a strapless [...]

Oooohhhhhh, niblets, I need guidance. This wedding stuff is over my head. According to some wedding checklist, I am 100% behind and totally fail at being a bride-to-be! Oops! Should I be reading blogs? Should I not? I need a girly girly helper planner to come sit and drink tea and help me pick out [...]

It’s called a moodboard because you make them when you’re bored!! I needed some zone-out zen time before tackling the weekend chores and this was a nice exercise. It’s also super helpful because I kept asking for suggestions and getting good ones, so at the end we were both 100% on the same page about [...]
