Sometimes Most of the time I sound like a broken record when talking about my clients.  They’re so fun!  This family is hilarious!  This couple is so sweet and their love just radiates! Let’s face it, I say those things a lot, just using different words. But the thing is, it’s the truth!  Over the […]

Hello my little sparkle. You’re amazing.  Do you know that?  You’re funny, you’re smart, and you genuinely care about people.  Sure, sometimes you’re caught up in your self obsessed pre-schooler life, but most of the time, you’re a really great kid.  You’re very normal, you blend, yet you’re extraordinary, you are a leader. You could […]

Birthday parties are this mix of fun & exhaustion.  Our daughters first birthday was a way for us to thank all the friends who helped us survive the first year.  Her second party was our first get together at our new house, so we enjoyed inviting our friends, some of which happened to have kids.  […]

Ahh the timeline.  Unless you’re an event planner, this is probably one of the hardest parts of planning your wedding day!  I mean, how on earth are you supposed to know how long your ceremony will be, how long you’ll need for pictures, and what time is best cut your cake? There are so many […]

Influence is a funny thing.  It’s so powerful, yet so quiet.  Influence doesn’t say anything, but it can change everything.  Josh & I have been married for 8.5 years and there is no doubt that we influence each other heavily, but sometimes we still surprise ourselves. In 2012 we started changing the way we eat.  […]

Let’s talk about traditions for a minute.  Or two or three.  My advice here is pretty much the same as it was in our first post.  Figure out what you actually care about, and don’t worry about the rest. I know… I’m being so helpful.  😉  But for real, there are so many traditions when […]

Couples get engaged year-round, but something about January really kicks everything up a notch.  “I’m getting married next year” turns into “OH-MY-GOODNESS I’m getting married THIS year!” and suddenly you find yourself having to make decisions about every single detail.  The fun wedding planning turns into crunch time and it’s a lot of pressure! We’re […]

In our office we have a huge chalk wall.  In January 2014 I wrote out each month of the year & the dates that we were booked.  It was great to glance at it and see what we had coming up.  I also set aside a special section and named it “2014 Awesomeness” and wrote […]
