Where do I even start... Well first off, I cannot believe I have not posted since Valentine's day... and I don't know why or where the time has even gone since then?!?? So many things have happened and changed over the last 5 months and I have been wanting to share it all with you, but I also needed time to process everything first. I am currently on my summer vacation from teaching and am in the process of moving into my new house with the hubby and man is it a lot of work and SUPER EXPENSIVE! We are not quite moved in just yet, but most of our stuff is in and we are just waiting on our appliances and shutters to be installed! CHECK OUT OUR OFFICIAL HOUSE TOUR! With all that being said, I thought I'd take the time to write a "note to self" to remind myself of a few ... read more

VALENTINE’S DAY GIFT GUIDE FOR HIM & HER
Hi everyone! Ummm.. how is Valentine's Day 3 days away!?!! Confession time: I look forward to this time of year every year because my hubby always finds a way to make it extra special for me and it is so sweet! I love seeing what he comes up with, how he puts things together and how he always catches me off guard... (last year he hid in my closet and popped out to scare me as I was admiring all the gifts he laid on my bed) While gifts are nice to receive, to me, it's not about the gifts, chocolates or flowers, it's about the little things - spending time with love and doing something together you both enjoy. HOWEVER, who doesn't love to accept a gift? With that being said, I have put together a few items you could gift your significant other and I hope you find some inspiration ... read more
4 THINGS THAT HAPPENED IN 4 MONTHS OF MARRIAGE
Hi everyone! I know I've been posting a lot of wedding related blog posts, but I am just LOVING everything wedding related... and of course, I am still in that "honeymoon" phase! #CantStopWontStop I thought I'd go in a different direction today and get a little personal by sharing 4 things that have happened since I got married 4 months ago. I became a permanent teacher! This was a MAJOR change not only in my life, by also in my marriage. For the last couple years, I was a substitute teacher and I was all over the place... literally. From school to school, different grade everyday and sometimes not knowing where I would be teaching until early the morning of. HOWEVER, that has all changed and I am no longer a substitute teacher. It has brought forth many advantages, answered ... read more
WHY WE DID A “FIRST LOOK”
Hi everyone! Another wedding post and I am SO EXCITED to share some photos of our first look! If you don't know, a "first look" is when you and your significant other opt to see each other before the wedding ceremony. Popular opinions and/or "traditions" may lead you to think otherwise, but there isn't a right or wrong decision to be made regarding whether or not you should do a first look - it is completely up to the bride and groom! Personally, I wanted to do a first look and I was SO EXCITED for it. I had many reasons why I wanted to have a first look... To help calm my nerves... your wedding brings out so many emotions and it can be very overwhelming, especially since you may not see and/or talk to your significant other until you're about to say "I do" TO TAKE PHOTOS ... read more

3 MONTHS MARRIED & OUR FIRST MARRIED CHRISTMAS
Hey everyone! I am a few days late on our 3 months married anniversary... you know, with the holidays and Christmas events happening all at the same time, it was a struggle to keep up with everything! Christmas seems to arrive earlier every year, doesn’t it?! This Christmas was my first Christmas as a married woman, and despite having spent the holidays as an engaged couple the last two years, I wanted to do things a little different/do something special for it. We decided to send out some Christmas/Thank you cards to our closest family and friends - I ordered them from Shutterfly and they turned out so cute! We were lucky enough to snag a free photo session with Santa Claus, and of course, we had to do it! I think I've taken photos with Santa maybe once or twice before, but ... read more
MY WEDDING PHOTO ALBUMS
I hope everyone had a MERRY CHRISTMAS and are enjoying the holiday season with all of their family and friends! I cannot believe Christmas has come and gone already! My hubby and I had such a fun and memorable Christmas - our very first married Christmas! To celebrate, I decided to create a few Wedding photo albums for some of our closest family members using Shutterfly. I've been using Shutterfly for a couple years now -- I think I've created 10+ photo albums!! I absolutely LOVE their photo album creator - it's so fun and easy to use and I love that you're able to customize everything to your liking! Shutterfly has so many products you can customize and order and they ALWAYS have deals and promotions going on, so you can always snag a good price! I created four different photo ... read more
MY WEDDING DRESS: TOP SECRET OR FAMILY AFFAIR?
Hi everyone! One of things I looked forward to the most during my engagement and wedding planning was going shopping to find my dream wedding dress. But with that comes a tough question: WHO should come with you to help you find the one? I don't know about you, but I've never been a big fan of TLC's Say Yes to the Dress... I would occasionally watch the show when there was nothing else on, and I didn't want to watch it when I was in the midst of wedding dress shopping. However, when I did watch the show, I would notice that most brides would bring along their whole family, including their future in laws, and sometimes, even their husband to be! Deciding who to take wedding dress shopping with you is all about assembling a team or in some cases, a single person, that ... read more
5 WEDDING MISHAPS
Hi everyone! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT IS ALMOST CHRISTMAS?! I cannot believe it's a week away! I can't even believe I've been married for almost 3 months... Your wedding day is supposed to be the most perfect day of your life, right?

To be honest though, my wedding day WAS the most perfect day... despite the several things that went “wrong” on our wedding day…none of which were major issues... more like little surprises that weren’t planned! So here are 5 Wedding Mishaps that happened on my wedding day... OUR GUESTS SAW ME BEFORE I WALKED DOWN THE AISLE Yup, you read that ... read more
THE 5 F’S OF A HAPPY MARRIAGE
Hey everyone!You may or may not have noticed, but I had to undergo a little... actually, a MAJOR damage repair here on the blog. Long story short, I deleted something I shouldn't have and everything got taken down... BUT WE BACK NOW and I am ready to start sharing some wedding bliss, advice, photos, etc, etc with you all! I cannot believe I am already in my second month of marriage - nearing up to our 3rd month very soon too! With that being said, I thought it would be nice to share some words from our wedding ceremony. My hubby and I got married in a Church and our priest shared some very wise words that I really liked. Mind you, I don't remember EXACTLY everything he said, but I remember the gist of it! Of course, our priest said all of these things in a different manner, using ... read more
