Ch-Ch-Changes!
Oh, hey. It’s been awhile. The summer and fall was incredibly eventful. A lot of things happened and I didn’t have much blogging mojo to document it. It’s okay though – I’ve accepted that it’s just the way things go sometimes. The Vintage closed. There was heartbreak and I went through a period of mourning […]
Holy Moly. I’m over on The570.com!
I’m knee deep in BlogCon planning (more on that later), but in the meantime, I’m super thrilled to be featured this week in The Electric City/Diamond City/The570.com. Finally, I’ve fulfilled my innermost desires to be a librarian for a day (the photos with the piece were done in Marywood’s library – such a cool setting). […]
Get some fresh air.
While I’m traditionally more of an indoors kind of gal, I did enjoy the time I’ve spent outdoors in the past few weeks. I went kayaking for the first time (and survived). I’m looking forward to going again. Over the holiday weekend, I watched fireworks and enjoyed the company of family and friends on lawns, […]
I Said “Yes” to the Dress
I wasn’t on the TLC show, but I did have my very own moment of saying “yes” to a garment that I’ll wear over a year from now. Not just any garment, though – a very, very special one. Finding a wedding dress ended up being a breeze, which I’m thankful for. I’ve heard horror […]
HOLY WHOA. I haven’t posted in awhile.
In the midst of moving, adulting, working on NEPA BlogCon and The Vintage Advisory Board, teaching, and host of other things, I forgot about you, Bloggy McBloggerson. I’m so, so sorry. Well, only kind of. I’m happy that while I was away from you, I was out living, doing great things, and really putting some […]
Things, Things, Things
January was a month of things. Big Things. Like buying our first house and all of the stuff that comes with it, like moving, DIYing, and unpacking. Small Things. Like the pleasure of having a dishwasher (I’m seriously in love) and not having to have three blankets on the bed to stay warm because your […]
Looking Forward to the Year Ahead
New year, big things, lots to think about and be grateful for. I’ve always been fond of taking time to reflect on the past, revel in the present, and delight in the future on New Years. All too often, we find ourselves feeling like we need to be better, do better, and change so much […]
Good Talk
In the past two months, I’ve been fortunate enough to have had quite a few great talks. One was with my Dad, as we traveled to New York City together on his first visit ever to Manhattan, where we would see a Broadway show (Pippin), eat good food, and take in some of the sights. […]
The Wedding Vendor Dance
It starts off slow. You scan for friendly faces, those who can be perfect partners. You make a mental note of their names. What you like about them. What you think they can bring to the floor. You take a deep breath. You approach and you ask. A positive response! How exciting! You smile. […]
The 102 Things I Love
Gini Dietrich posted this on Spin Sucks earlier this week and I was intrigued. I love the idea of taking a few moments to be grateful for all of the things you enjoy, so, I’m going to give it a try. This post is based on Judy Dunn’s “Can You Name 99 Things You Love […]
