Two years ago today, Scott and I said our I Do’s. Can’t believe we’ve made two laps around the sun already. We opted not to hire a videographer for our wedding, and instead passed out old Super 8 cameras to let our guests capture the day. Thanks to those ambitious guests who were game to give the Super 8’s a… Read more →

It’s not easy being green.
Being knocked up and hormonal is kind of hilarious when you can step outside yourself and take a moment to see the absurdity of the things that freak you out. A couple of weeks ago, Scott and I were making dinner (mostly he was) and laughing together, and all of a sudden I burst into tears. He looked shocked for… Read more →
What?! The Awesome-est Giveaway EVER?!
As you may know, I am a huge fan of One Kings Lane: purveyor of beautiful home furnishings at amazing sale prices via the internet. Well, guess what?

Check out my super hot Sister-In-Law Maegan (without whom I would be sitting in the middle of my nursery surrounded by the contents of my daughter’s closet sobbing and rocking back and forth.) She’s featured in Vogue Girl Korea for her brilliant over-the-knee boot spat DIY, and general awesomeness. Way to go Maeg! Read more →

I’m full term. Holy crap. Over the past nine months, I’ve thought a lot about how I would feel at this point in the pregnancy. Ready? Panicked? Calm and Maternal? Apparently, how I would feel is like a giant, clumsy, sweaty, disorganized mess. While the nursery is nearing completion, it’s not finished. While we have almost everything we need,… Read more →

Domestic Heaven
So, I almost deleted this entire blog by accident this morning, and MAN, I would have been BUUUUUMMED if I had done that. Thankfully my new MacBook is smarter than I am (as opposed to my old MacBook which was a freaking glorified paperweight) and it stopped me before my placenta head took out the only writing I’ve done about… Read more →
I’m having a Jessie Spano Moment.
You know that episode of Saved by the Bell when the girls start a girl group called the Hot Sundaes, and Jessie gets addicted to caffeine pills so Zack has to talk her down while she maniacally screeches the opening bars to “I’m so excited!” but then in a shocking turn of self discovery she replaces the 3rd repetition with… Read more →
Feeling the Love.
It’s an incredible feeling when the people that you love all come together to support you. Yesterday, my friends and family threw me the most beautiful baby shower I could have ever asked for. It was amazing to spend a day giggling and sharing excitement with so many of my loved ones – after a busy summer getting ready for… Read more →
