If there is one thing you need to know about me, it’s that I love flowers! So, naturally, I wanted to save my wedding bouquet in some way. I looked into a lot of different ways to preserve bouquets prior to our wedding, but there was one way that I thought was really unique. I found a picture […]

How Brian and I met isn’t a crazy story. It wasn’t a meet cute from a classic movie, or a even a “funny you should ask” kind of a story… But, I love it because I can remember the exact moment we met. Honestly, I can’t say that about anyone else, not even my best friend. I remember […]

Happy February, Everyone! If you are anything like me, you didn’t make any “resolutions” or really have your sh*t together the first month of the year, so we are starting over! 2018 starts now! I have been way off my blogging game lately. So for my first post of the year, I wanted to do an “update […]

With today being national cookie day, I wanted to share some of my favorite Christmas Cookie recipes! There are so many great holiday treats out there, but this year, I made Norwegian Christmas Cookies (very similar to butter cookies), and Kolaches (one of my childhood favorites). Baking Christmas cookies was always something I loved growing […]

Thanksgiving is always been centered around massive amounts of turkey and pumpkin pie. While I have always been partial to pumpkin flavored treats, my absolute favorite Thanksgiving dessert is hands down my mom’s Apple Cranberry Pie!I decided to try it myself this year and wanted to share the recipe! Apple Cranberry Pie Makes one 9 inch pie Pastry […]

When planning our wedding, my husband and I really wanted our ceremony to represent our love and be very personal to us. We wanted to have some sort of unity ceremony, but I didn’t want to do something that we have seen before. After a bit of research, I came across an ancient Celtic tradition, […]

On our one-week anniversary, I thought I would share a bit about our mini-moon to Kohler, WI! As a wedding present to my new hubby, I bought us one night at The American Club. Instead of a physical gift, I decided that we needed a little time to celebrate our marriage since we aren’t going on our […]

With our wedding coming up in less than 3 months (oh my gosh!), I wanted to share a post on my bridesmaids gifts! It took me a while to decide on what to get for my amazing girls, but I decided to stick with something that they could use on our actual wedding day. Here […]

My latest Try The World creation was from the Brazil box! This box was filled with spices, cheese bread mix, brazil nut cookies, jam, peanut candies and coffee. While I enjoyed some of the treats right away, it took me awhile to get around to cooking a meal with all of the ingredients. The recipe in the box […]

On our trip to Europe last summer, we visited three countries. My favorite, by far, was Denmark. As soon as we got of of the train in Copenhagen and began our walk to our AirB&B, I knew that I was going to love the short three days we had there. The city was so beautiful and […]

During our time in Dublin, we spent a lot of time exploring the sites, shopping for aran wool and claddagh rings, and eating some good, hardy food. Of course, our list of things to do involved drinking lots of Irish whiskey and Guinness, and while I never actually kept count, I must have tried at least […]

This past summer I was lucky enough to check a few more countries off of my bucket list. On top of traveling with my fiancé, I was able to travel with one of oldest and best friends on her first time out of the United States. Our first stop? Ireland. As we flew into Dublin, […]

With the last official month of winter upon us, I wanted to share some tips on living hygge (pronounced “HOO-gah”). Hygge is a Danish lifestyle that has everyone cozying up, and focusing on the warm, fuzzies in life. While hygge, does not directly translate to anything in English, most people describe it as more of a […]

Organization has always been something I have loved and am fairly good at. My mom always says my life motto is, “a place for everything, everything in its place,” and she’s kinda right. I have always loved color coordination, binder tabs and everything being neat and tidy. So, I thought I would share some of my favorite […]

It’s time for another installment of Try The World! This box is the Thailand box, filled with tea, dried jackfruit, taro chips, soup and much more! I enjoyed the snacks in the box and really loved the jackfruit. I tried to make the tea and the soup, which did not turn out very good, but I was successful […]

I got a little backed up on the blog with the holiday season, but I am ready to start this new year with a bang! In 2017, I have decided to focus on three main areas in my life; wellness, blogging and quality living. Here is a deeper look into the goals that I hope to […]

This year was the second year that we hosted Christmas at our house. Typically, my family goes out to Christmas breakfast, but this year we decided to host a dinner! At first, I was a little nervous, because we were going to be coming back from my fiancé’s family christmases, and then hosting my parents […]

Trying to find special gifts for your friends and family year after year can be a difficult task. Malls are crowded and never seem to have anything you need, and you can never think of something for that one person who is impossible to shop for. For the past few years, I have done all of […]

This past month, Brian and I took our very first road trip together to Nashville! A couple of our friends were headed down for a weekend of fun and football, so we decided to tag along. Brian and I are seasoned drivers since our relationship was long distance for a while, and we live in […]

I recently discovered a new subscription box called “Try The World,” which has turned out to be a great way to try new foods and learn about other cultures. These boxes of gourmet delicacies have delicious treats and recipes for you to experience foods from around the world. My first box that I received was the Paris Box, […]

The summer after my freshman year of college, I decided to travel to Costa Rica to volunteer with International Student Volunteers (ISV). I was 18 and had no idea what to expect. Most people go to Costa Rica for a relaxing time at a resort… I was going to be living in the rainforest doing conservation […]

This past summer, my friend and I were talking about how she had never really traveled and how she wants to explore the world. After telling her to “seize the day,” I thought to myself, “why not plan a trip together?!” We started planning our European adventure in September of last year and picking where to go […]

I guess you could say that I have always loved to travel. Every since I was little, my parents would take my brother and I on weekend trips and family vacations. From marveling at Mt. Rushmore, to parasailing in the Gulf of Mexico, to strolling down Pier 49 in San Fransisco, my parents really fostered my love […]
