Last week I alluded to a beach adventure that Bobby and I were planning as an early anniversary trip. Our long weekend in Maui was amazing, and although we are now back home we brought away some fun – and thrilling – memories. Plus we checked a couple of items off the bucket list. We […]

A “Wild” Bachelorette Party
This past weekend was all about celebrating my best friend Sam. After planning and prepping for two major events – bachelorette party and bridal shower – that we wanted to get just right, it was thrilling to put all the pieces together. Everything turned out as fun as we had hoped it would be! The […]
Reading Between The Wines: The Girl Who Chased The Moon by Sarah Addison Allen
A few weeks ago the ladies of Reading Between the Wines got together for our July book club meeting at Crystal’s house! Her book selection – The Girl Who Chased The Moon by Sarah Addison Allen – was perfect for summer with featured foods that made planning our dishes a no brainer. But before we […]
Sizzling Summer Pinterest Party

Delightful D.C., Day One
If you happened to get my not-so-subtle hint on the 4th of July, Bobby and I planned a slightly impromptu trip to Washington D.C. over the holiday weekend! D.C. was on both of our travel bucket lists – I’d never been, and Bobby’s last trip was in 8th grade. We figured the 4th of July […]
Two and a Half Years
…plus two months, if we’re getting technical. That is just how long my friend Caitlin and I had gone without seeing each other in person until this past weekend! The last time we were together, we were dancing the night away at my wedding. I was so happy when she told me she was planning […]
