Because I cook every day, I’ve become efficient at making dinner each night. Like anything, cooking (and the preparation behind it) is a skill that has to be learned. Luckily for me, on both my mom and my dad’s side of the family, there are many great and efficient cooks. As I was growing up, [Continue Reading…]
7 Ways To Refresh Your Look in 2016
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Burt’s Bees. All opinions are 100% mine. It’s the beginning of the year, and though I’m not big on New Year’s resolutions (more about that here), I do love a fresh start. New calendars and planners, a clean home, and a refreshed look all [Continue Reading…]
Our 8 Married Life Must-Haves
We’ve been married just five months, but it didn’t take much time at all for us to uncover a few things that have become part of our sort-of “secret sauce” in our marriage. These are products, activities, and ideas that allow us to live peacefully together while maintaining emotional and physical intimacy. Some are lighthearted and [Continue Reading…]
Where We’ll Dine in Disney
On Friday, it will be exactly four months until we leave for our week-long Disney trip in May! (We’re actually going to Disney for four days and Universal for two…but I like Disney better, so this will be called a “Disney trip!”) We were gifted this wonderful trip as our Christmas present (you can read all [Continue Reading…]
Why Getting Laid Off Was One Of The Best Things That Has Ever Happened To Me
A few years ago, on the fourth of July in 2013, I moved to Austin, Texas. I had received a job offer in the marketing department at a three-year-old tech startup and was eager to dive into my career. It didn’t matter that I was at the dead bottom of the corporate ladder; I was simply elated [Continue Reading…]

Here’s To Not Making A New Year’s Resolution This Year
Happy New Year! 2016 here we go! I hope you had a lovely New Year’s Eve celebration last night. Not wanting something fancy (read: not wanting to spend lots of money and then drive on roads with crazy people), Riley and I made dinner with his mom and sister, and then we all watched the ball [Continue Reading…]
What We Did On Christmas Eve & Christmas Day This Year
It’s funny how there’s such a build up for the holiday season, and then, it’s just over. I tend to be ready for a change of focus by the time December 26th rolls around, especially since Riley’s birthday is on the 27th. That’s when I flip the switch from Christmas celebrating to birthday celebrating! (Clearly [Continue Reading…]
How We Celebrated Riley’s 30th Birthday
Riley turned the big 3-0 on Sunday! I wrote him a sappy and honest love letter (which I published here on Monday), threw him a Star Wars themed birthday party, and found a restaurant for a just-us celebration in downtown Baltimore. As I’ve said many times, my blog sometimes acts as an online scrapbook for [Continue Reading…]
So…We’re Going To Disney In May!
Maybe you saw on Instagram?! This year Riley and I were generously gifted a trip to Disney from my parents! (Hooray!!!) We were SHOCKED. And ever since Christmas morning, I’ve been voraciously researching everything Disney so that we can make the most of our time in Orlando! Let me back up a little, so you can [Continue Reading…]
